RMweb Gold Trofimow Posted May 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2017 OMG OMG OMG They look fantastic!!!!! What's involved with fitting the shoes and what is this 'stop please' I keep hearing about? There's a card enclosed which essentially reads - stop please -RTFM (I paraphrase)... Quite a comprehensive bits bag containing shoes, body mounting brackets, headcodes, buffer beam details, etc, etc. Enough to keep one occupied for a while. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR(S) Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 They do look superb. I haven't ordered one, even being an SR modeller, but well done to Dave for what looks like an excellent model. It's been interesting watching the process from start to finish. Now it's OO Class 92 time, of which I have three on order . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been interesting watching the process from start to finish. Now it's OO Class 92 time, of which I have three on order . . . Ah, the 92 in both N and OO have benefited by what i could and couldn't do with the 71, and as such are a magnitude higher than whatever is out there now or announced by others, by a magnitude. The factory i use havn't won 30+ model of the year awards for nothing! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted May 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2017 No way I could have a 71 on my layout (except in a scrapyard!), looking forward to the 74 even more now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted May 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2017 Just received mine and upon opening the package found that I had two x -002 whereas I had ordered one each of -002 and -003 as stated on the transaction receipt. Phoned Kernow and, to be honest, I could not believe (and still don't believe) the very off-hand response I received from the (youngish-sounding) guy who answered the phone. Without any to do I was told to send the duplicate back, they would then refund the postage and send the correct model as ordered. No apology as such was made. So, Kernow have messed things up and I have to repack the item and make a special trip to town to post the item back to them. He made it clear that they would not organise its return which could easily be done through DPD. He even refused to take my name and address as he didn't see any need for it. Also pointed out to him that one of the boxes was dented but that didn't seem to worry him. I could not believe what I was hearing. DJM-Box-1.jpg I've been dealing with Kernow for a number of years and still have a number of items on back order with them but have never been treated in such a way when I have phoned them before. I hope it never happens again...... Keith Since my posting above Chris Trerise at Kernow has contacted me on the phone at which time we were able to discuss in detail all the matters mentioned above. All has been resolved and will be sorted accordingly. Many thanks Chris for your help and assistance. Keith 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted May 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2017 You just need more practice. When I spent 7 weeks on them at the start of the year, I learned how to carry a cup of hot coffee whilst using them. And that was with no weight on my right foot. You have no dedication to the class 71 cause ;-) Roy Errr.....I haven't been able to walk for three months.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I am up on crutches now, but I can't use them and carry anything! Excuses, excuses!! P.s.

steve1023 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 According to Kernow's Facebook page they are currently fulfilling orders from August 2014. And after August 2014 comes April 2015....right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 October 2015 – I still have a few days to wait to find out if it is as smooth and quiet as the Hornby one, unless some kind soul is prepared to comment.

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted May 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 11, 2017 How did you manage to do that? Looks painful! Hope you make a full recovery. Walking! Fell on a muddy path, foot caught against a rock, twisted as I fell, foot broken in half sideways basically - google 'lisfranc fracture'. All 5 metatarsals displaced and broken. Yup, it smarted! Full recovery unlikely, its an injury that 'doesn't do well', I will have a lot of problems in years to come. 41 years a biker and never done anything like that - stick to motorcycles, they're safer than walking. In other on topic news - it should come today..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
