New LGB KoF - anyone actually got one yet?

Has Jeremy got anything on his site at the moment that isnt listed as Temporarily out of stock?
Looked for LG 55021 and Massoth S, both TOOS.
Its been a long time, but he still seems to have this hang up about answering emails.
Used to always be my preferred supplier.

When I spoke to him on the phone last week, he said that there was a Massoth order coming in very soon (maybe this week).

MINE IS HERE!!!

Big parcel from Jeremy just arrived via Interlink, containing a lot of paper packing and a smaller (but still substantial) RED BOX; inside this was my HSB Kof!
I'll do a full review and pics later today if I can, just wanted to give a couple of first impressions. Most importantly, I am both impressed and pleased with it. The paint job seems good and is a nicely matt finish, not shiny or toy-like at all. It is also a much more "orangey" orange than I'd expected - a real "jaffa orange" colour - all the photos and vids I'd seen have made it look a lot more yellowish. All detail looks good, quite fine and neatly done but not too fragile-looking, and a big plus is that all the handrails (except for the orange ones along the top of the hood) are metal rather than flexy plastic, and look a LOT better than many older LGB locos I have.
So, very chuffed so far! More later......

Jon (a happy new Kof owner!)
 
Just posted my full review as a new thread in Product Reviews - no pics yet, they will follow soon!

Saw one at Glendale Junction today - From a quick look looks like a very tasty loco although I didn't study it in great detail to look for any faults :nerd:
