Cheers Roy ;D Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: collecta on February 18, 2006, 12:52:11 PM Had to have one too.got my order #
Around this time last year they released a 50th anniversary edition ??? in red and grey,had to have one of those too. cheers Scott Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: ridgey_didge on February 19, 2006, 05:36:24 AM I wonder if Trax will pay a commission for starting this thread and rounding up more orders?
Its a thought. David Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: COL58FE on February 20, 2006, 10:10:12 AM thank's roy,
i'll p.m you now. cheer's col. ;) Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: ridgey_didge on March 18, 2006, 01:46:22 AM The Trax website is now saying the gold FE will be available in April. It had previously said March. Damn, I want one and I want it now.
David Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: RET on March 18, 2006, 03:41:56 AM Quote Damn, I want one and I want it now. David You have seen the gold '48, I trust? Given how long it took for Trax to sell out of those, I must admit I'm a little surprised to see the style resurface. Still, for all I know they might sell out in five minutes and be going for $200 on Ebay by May... cheers RET Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: COL58FE on April 01, 2006, 11:31:40 AM Ret and all,
There is a production hold on these at the moment,as there were problem's with the manufacturer.Some type of fault with them,due in mid april - as the man from trax said to me he was surprised how quick they are selling himself.Then again an fx ain't an fe,can't wait for the fc version. Cheer's Col. Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: zulu on April 01, 2006, 12:18:32 PM Yep, With all the interest they have probably ordered an extra squillion and had to send out for more gold paint.
Gary Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: COL58FE on April 13, 2006, 09:22:49 AM Fianally,
got my two GOLD fe's today,well one for me one for the bro,they look great too by the way.very happy.so anyone that has ordered these should receive them shorty,if not already. cheer's col. ;) Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: classicfe on April 13, 2006, 06:42:12 PM i just got mine, looks great but has blemish in the paint on the front guard over the wheel arch, was wondering if anyone elses model came in the same condition?? ???
Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: zulu on April 14, 2006, 08:50:59 AM Yep, 1 of mine has 2 minor blemishes, on the bonnet & dogleg, I will be asking for a replacement, the other 1 is good.
Gary Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: classicfe on April 14, 2006, 07:20:21 PM thanks for the reply, i'll be sending mine back, just wanted to make sure i wasn't being too fussy with finish as the gold seems to show up any blemish
Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: COL58FE on April 16, 2006, 10:12:27 AM hmmm,
now that i've checked carefully there is pinhead mark's(lump's/blister's) near the left tailight,look's like the gold has'nt mealted properly in the plating process.or casting was a bit rough before plating other than that it look's really good.i'll stick with them it's not as if i paid 5k for the gold job. :-/ cheer's col. Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: Rabbitoh on May 18, 2006, 08:43:18 PM We bought two as well. One was good, the other had a blemish in the finish above the rh front guard spear.
Sent it back, got another one with a small fault at trailing edge of rh front guard (near the sill panel). They must be recycling the dodgy ones- musical Gold FE's anyone? Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: classicfe on May 19, 2006, 09:28:09 PM that is the good thing about trax, i've never had a problem if i sent a car back they always send a replacement, i've only sent back 2 cars in 6 years of collecting trax models,
interesting to see the gold fe's are already appearing on ebay :) Title: Re: Gold plated FE from Trax Post by: Bessie_3 on May 20, 2006, 05:55:30 AM Thanks for the heads up about blemishes I'll have to give mine a good once over. ???

I must be one of the lucky ones, after reading these posts, I gave my gold FE a good look over, and it is spot on. Michael |
