Not a problem Talking pensions - March is my state pension "double-month" - so a bit more spending on the railway

I need to survive another two years before I can collect mine.

Something to look forward to.

The transfers I ordered arrived today.

It seems I may have ordered the wrong ones . The old sheet I had used before appears to have been discontinued, and I’m damned if I can decipher how the website works without sample pictures to go on. Hence my mistake.

I have, however, located the HMRS website that may offer an alternative - so we’re giving them a try.

Still waiting for mine

Still waiting for mine

My delivery included an apology for the slow service. A combination of pandemic and poor health for the owner.

[bulleidboy]

I do appreciate the problems they and others have of course been having. I think it was the tone of the message "cut us some slack" - "we'd get more done if we didn't have to waste time answering the phone and emails from customers chasing their orders" - I just think the terminology could have been a little better. Like everything else they will arrive when they arrive.

[Steve M]

No rush from my perspective either. Shame though, the quality of the printing is so much better than the Fox version I started with.

Has anyone ordered and received goods lately from M-JE? I placed an order and payment taken on the 11th January 2021 and I'm still waiting. I know he was having problems due to the pandemic restrictions, and customers were told to telephone and not email. Well I have telephoned today and the mail box is full and you obviously get no reply.

[Steve M]

Barry, my second batch of transfers arrived last week - about six weeks from ordering. He never did respond to my email.

[bulleidboy]

Thanks Steve - I'll leave it a bit longer - I'm still in no rush. As you said the quality of M-JE's items is better than Fox. Barry

[Steve M]

Agreed Barry. For future reference, check out the Historical Model Railway Society - a bit trickier to use but excellent quality. Reasonable delivery time as well.
