You are asking the wrong people, Ellis is the man to answer that question. But from the website it appears that you could use Paypal Pay in Three. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a question you didn’t have to answer? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a question you didn’t have to answer? If you took the trouble to read the T's & C's on the website you would understand that you do not have to pay unless or until the product is in stock. If you want to explore the possibility of making payments in advance then my suggestion still holds - speak to Ellis.

RMweb Gold simon b Posted 18 hours ago RMweb Gold Share Posted 18 hours ago These were on display at the Milton Keynes show today, beautiful models. I can just about justify a set to run behind a class 31. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2750Papyrus Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I saw these on the stand yesterday and they look stunning, particularly the internal detail with pictures over the seats. Sadly, the teak samples were still en-route but the lady designer explained that the teak finishes were taken from photographs from photographs of actual coaches and that the number of iterations to get the finishes correct ran into double figures. Modellers of the southern end of the GN main line are fortunate that such high quality models as these and the Hornby Coronation coaches will soon be available. My only concerns are that both are articulated prototypes, preventing sales of individual coaches, and that their spheres of operations were rather limited, factors which could inhibit sales volumes. Please can we look forward to models of LNER corridor coaches to the same standards? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people buy the quads, Ellis - and others - will feel encouraged to consider more LNER/GN products. Good consumers enable their own continuing market-place. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if somebody does do more GNR products, we can expect to see a few more models of Kings Cross, Newark etc and then there will be a business case for models of the prototypeas that still haven't been done?

It seems likely to work like that. While monitoring layout prototype trends is rather imprecise, manufacturers surely keep an eye on what is selling well - apart from their own products - and more importantly, what is being discounted/remaindered. It is bound to inform their strategic thinking about what to contemplate next. Only the long lead-times for research, design and procurement of resources in China stop them from reacting more quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
