But us 1st batches get to play with ours sooner

Iv had the colour of my order changed to DLR Blue

That'll look nice with the white roof I reckon

Great minds and all that

I'm yet to decide on a lining scheme, shall have to do some research to find some inspiration

that because i wasnt going to bother getting 1 until I found out no deposit was needed and by november i would of had the cash to buy one and by that time i was told they had only a few left so i ordered one straight away in 32mm with radio control then found i was on second batch for early 2015 so even better for me as by then my railway will hopefully be a full circle of the garden..

Nope, the first batch hasn't sold out, my Dad's still got a couple of the first batch left unsold!

I guess you ordered direct from Roundhouse?

Roundhouse have announced this morning that both batches from them are sold out.....................

Are both batches sold out batches of 20?

If so we can expect 5 batches total right

Originally that was the plan however demand for the first batches was so high it was then changed to two batches of 50.

I had a email from someone may have been roundhouse saying all batches from them are sold out but dealers may have 1 or 2 left..

I ordered mine direct from roundhouse..

Mr. Boyes of TrackShack still has at least one slot according to his shopping cart.

An indication that the recession is over? I've not been in live steam long enough to experience how quick a roundhouse special goes. I regret not being around when they did Jack.....

If I remember correctly, Roundhouse made 100 Special Edition Jacks (and they sold out in about 2 minutes!), maybe they only originally planned 20 due to Stanley's much more limited appeal?
Hopefully they'll do a Dylan!

I wonder what Roundhouse will be announcing for the AGM...

Roundhouse seems like such a well-run company. My own dealings with them have been very satisfying. One thing I like about this particular hobby is all the competently-run small businesses I've had the pleasure of dealing with.

I'm hoping to see lots of "Stanley" pictures and videos when you guys start to receive your engines. Trams are generally not my cup of tea but I've found myself enjoying them more and more recently.

Cant wait for mine..put most of the cash in a isa account so i wont be tempted to go spend it all..The cash was actually to go on more track but seeing one of the original stanleys at a meet ias soon as i got home i emailed and said i would have 1 (I really wouldnt care what colour i got 1 in as not bothered) and it will also be my first proper steam loco as well and from talking to a few people they all said I wouldnt be disapointed in 1

Hi Dan,

Yes I did order direct from Roundhouse.

I don't see the need to go to a dealer when there's no difference in the price, if I lived overseas I would probably use a dealer purely in the interests of being able to contact someone nearby in the (rare) situation of a problem arising.

Iv gone direct to RoundHouse since Im close enough to go and pick the tram up when its ready from them directly.
