DJM Dave Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Tranquility base here, the O2's have landed! Apologies to Mr Armstrong, but yesterday after a 24 hour dock unloaded breakdown, the fist batch of DJM designed and manufactured O2 models for Kernow arrived in Cornwall. :-))) This won't please the nay Sayers, but it proves that the only vapour is the one they have been sniffing! Kernow will be receiving all versions over the next 6 weeks, and I am hoping I can get the J94 into production before Christmas for January/ February. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 24, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well I'm looking forward to the delivery of my imaginary O2 It's always just film that has these super 3D holographic images you can touch like in the Avengers and now we get them too!

woodenhead Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 well done. But until one has completed a million miles without failure, been dropped off a layout onto a concrete floor without any bits being lost and has survived being eaten by a dog then you haven't proved anything.

rembrow Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Great news Dave, proves a point, if it was needed. One of my BR liveried orders has jumped forward, according to the shipping info and will now be October rather than December, oh well keeps the wallet lean and hungry. Will the O2s be individually tested, as you did with the DJM produced Beatties, as with the staggered delivery you may have to take up residence in Cornwall. Looking forward as well to the Class 71 sample expose in a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 24, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2015 Some of us have already got theirs.... *grins* http://grahammuz.com/2015/09/11/the-first-kernow-model-centre-adams-o2-0-4-4t-to-arrive-soon/ Sorry couldn't' resist..

phil gollin Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 . So, does the bank manager get a free presentation model now that the cash flow starts going in the right direction ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 So delighted to hear that your project is now well and truly off the ground and I can only wish you luck (I always think that this is a curious wish - surely it is the continuing exercising of talent and determination one should wish someone!) as you bring your own brand of fresh air to the hobby. Much looking forward to the collapse on many not-so-stout parties! Go well. Anthony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 ...But until one has completed a million miles without failure... One reader here who will be interested if anyone cares to report on running qualities and robustness - I'll settle for a scale 100 miles ;-) - ease of body removal and mechanism construction and the like. (This is entirely the wrong sort of O2 for me, but compact mechanisms that might have the potential to power other classes are always worth a look.)

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted September 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2015 Good work all round. Let the vapourware merchants now breathe their own May I take a second to copy a message from Kernow MRC's Facebook page? You may get your models quicker if you take due note:- The first O2 has arrived! Please be patient, they have only just arrived and we are unpacking and processing orders. We will be able to do that so much quicker if we don't have to answer lots of phone calls and emails asking "when will I receive my model"! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 25, 2015 Great to see DJM getting his "Yah! Boo! Sucks!" moment after the disgusting negativity expressed by a few members. Why would the model not be a successful product? Anyway, the pudding is here as proof. Great!

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted September 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 25, 2015 Congratulations Dave! From the pictures I have seen it is a credit to you and the team at Kernow. Hopefully the first of many such creations. Just wish I could afford to buy 1 (or more!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and if my understanding is correct it has come from a factory with a good reputation (and it did produce the DJM/Kernow well tank) so why shouldn't it be successful?

bike2steam Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yeah, just about 21 years too late, would've saved me hours of 'fun' - never mind there's always Bembridge mark 2 - perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm having a dull moment. Decyphering two letters and four numbers has me beat, I'm afraid. Now if it were just four numbers I could guess 0395 class. PB Easy - O is two letters short of Q in the alphabet, and 2 is four numbers short of 6. Thus O2 becomes Q6 - although it probably helps to recognise the way a certain poster's mind normally seems to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
