PreOrders News

After waiting two and half years for one lot of pre-ordered items and ten months on another news has arrived.

Like waiting for a bus for ages, then three turn up together, the news is the items are in this country and payment is required.
Now shall I tell Dawn a large sum of money is going out of our account, or not?
Shall I keep quiet and say nothing and when the items arrive sneak them into the train room?

Should I buy Dawn some flowers then tell her?

Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

Its just best to come clean!

They always know! :D
 
I can empathize. I've been waiting nearly four years for Jägerndorfer to release the ÖBB Rh 1822. All I hear are a lot of promises but no action.

I would certainly hope your wife will understand waiting years for these releases and not put up too much of a fuss.
 
Terry for the most part understands. But occasionally will ask, did you spend all your PayPal? Best to come clean.

Now that I remember, last year I had 82 Scaletrains reefers show up in 3 boxes and she asked how many were mine and the answer was only 4. I had paid with the credit card on like Thursday and the boxes appeared on Monday. I only told her I used the credit card on Monday. But she already knew 5 minutes after I paid the bill with my Capital One that almost immediately notifies her of any payment made with it. I was unaware of that until that day

Ha. Ha. Dawn knows the same. A different company, but they notify her almost immediately.
A "Have you just spent XXX pounds on some railway items." gives me away.

It's always okay; though sometimes she says, "Have you not got enough stuff already?"
"Err, no."

If It's Accurascale don't hold your breath, I got an email saying it was time to pay, I did it the same night, that was in October 2023, and I'm still waiting

No, it is Rails of Sheffield. I have dealt with them before. Hoping for a similar service.

Edit:- I have told Dawn. Well sort of. I haven't said how much.
 
The impossible just happened. I got an email from Union Modellbahn saying the Jägerndorfer ÖBB Rh 1822 was now available.

I couldn't order it fast enough. This one has sound and I can't wait to hear what it sounds like, as this is one locomotive I have never heard other than just rumbling by at speed in brief YouTube clips.

It's hard to believe it has finally been released.

Gosh the figures in the picture look so realistic. :cool::rolleyes:🤣
 
Today I received news Rails of Sheffield wanted payment for the pre-order I made through Hatton's. They say the items are in the U.K..
Within seconds of paying, Dawn knew! A shake of her head, I knew it was okay. :cool:🤣
