As of today we have 11 orders, so the project will go ahead pending successful negotiations with the producers about a guaranteed delivery time. I will be keeping you informed with details of the model as well as with the production schedule. Bear also in mind that there will be two old OSE logo running numbers. A156 and a second one that has not been decided yet.

PS. Please no deposits yet.

Dear friends,

I am really sorry but though the parcel containing the locomotive from LIMITBAHN was posted on the 11th, it has not yet arrived. So, I contacted DPD today who informed me that the parcel is lost somewhere within their Preston depot. I have raised a 'search for missing item' and I will know by next Friday if the parcel is found or lost for ever. A lot of bad luck lately :cry: , me thinks.

PS. Maybe I need to start a new thread called Balkan Models Memoirs. I am sure it can have more pages than Argentinian Railways :lol:

Let's hope they'll spot it soon!

just to make your day I'll share a little story with you.
Some 5-6 years ago I was shelling my 1/43 diecast collection at ebay (they were converted to rail models)
I had sold an IXO Tatra model to some guy in Germany. I had the model thoroughly packed and in time posted.
After some 20 days I received a note from the post office to collect a parcel.
I was surprised to see my parcel coming back to me in a pretty awful state, heavily "battered" and bandaged!!!

But that wasn't all, not just my Tatra coming back to me...
When I opened the parcel I confronted a box of nice Kourambiedes :lol: that's right! with almond!
In case you don't know... https://www.google.gr/search?q=Kourambi ... MQ_AUIBigB

The box had obviously been opened and taped again, so I denied to receive it and asked for a compensation.
Of course the buyer received a refund, and me, some days latter I collected the insurance from the post office.
I had also the answer to the mystery! how my Tatra model was converted to some Kourambiedes?

Easy, the parcels had been packed to palettes, while they were being unloaded from the plane at the Budapest airport one of those palettes had been accidentally fallen from some height, the parcels and their content had been scattered all around...
As they couldn't find out what was in each box, they had them reassembled randomly and send them back...

Christo, I hope my story made you feel a bit better :mrgreen:

Congratulations on coming first. I'm sure "spielbahner" will appreciate it. Our project however goes on as intended. If anyone has mistaken our greek model for Limitbahn, I'm sorry, not my fault! :roll:

As a reminder, our model will have Roco motor and transmission, and comparable prices. No downpayment needed. Thanks for not deleting. :mrgreen:
