Query concerning Classic Trains Plus

[Meiriongwril]

Has anyone dealt with the kit-building and painting services of Classic Trains Plus? They are at Prescott Valley Arizona.
A VERY long time ago I commissioned a kit build and paint from them, and whenever I ask about progress get fobbed of with claims that it's nearly ready, and about to be sent - but nothing arrives.:curse:
Luckily I only paid a deposit (not the full amount), but still it irks that I cannot get anything definite from them!wall1

Has anyone else dealt with this firm - did you have good/bad experiences? Their website suggest they are very much still operating.

Perhaps Ray Marinnacio can help you, he lives but a few miles from there and he may know them personally.

I'll have to drive over and see what they are about. I have their address.
I can ask the members at the club meeting tonight to see if anyone has dealt with them.

Still 18 months after my last post, I have nothing but the occasional email saying that the items are Nearly ready (they've been nearly ready for 2 years!)
My emails go unanswered these days and the phone number on the website seems to go only to an answer machine. Yet David Cooke is still advertising on different fora (as recently as end of last year) for new business.
I have previously had emails suggesting he was ill some time ago - so I do wonder if that's part of the reason.
But it's SO annoying to get nothing definite. If anyone is in the neighbourhood, I'd be grateful for any info!!
The address is: 7710 E Loos Drive Prescott Valley, AZ86314
