TEDDYBEAR D9521 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Let's hope so. They are a gnat's whisker away from being approved for production. The website is still being worked on unfortunately, but have a look below if you are interested in funding it. Hi Steve many thanks as an investor in the Class 22 project I will go for a crowd funded Class 22 to start. Many Thanks Gareth Edited February 19, 2018 by TEDDYBEAR D9521 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 How does the funding work, what are the risks, if any? I could be interested.... Thanks, CME These questions and others are answered in the email sent earlier to interested parties. There is absolutely no obligation to receive the information, so please send an email to class22@littleloco.co.uk Cheers, Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 How does the funding work, what are the risks, if any? I could be interested.... Thanks, CME The most serious risk is outlined in the email Steve alludes to;A final risk is that I could steal your money and open a beach cafe in Mexico.Should we be worried??!!

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2018 Great news on the plans to produce a Class 22, I really wasn't looking forward to tackling the JLTRT one having followed a few threads. Will be sending an email (or would a PM on here count equally?) to enquire about the crowd funding option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Please email the class22@ email address for funding enquiries. Unfortunately, it looks like the JLTRT Class 22 is no longer an option according to latest news. Very sad day for diesel modellers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CME and Bottlewasher Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 A sad time indeed for the staff at JLTRT, if the rumours are true. JLTRT are innovators.....sadly, LLC excluded, other companies have dirted the waters of the small and once friendly market place that is 7mm FS and it now seems like the ripples have reached JLTRT? Although there is some room for segmentation of the market, there has also been a lot of duplication over the past 5 years too. ATVB CME Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen anything concrete yet on JLTRT but bad news if the rumours are true. Whilst not wishing to tackle their Class 22 kit there were/are a fair few other bits and pieces I was intending getting from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2018 And email response from Steve detailing the crowd funding option very quickly returned.

The Nth Degree Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'd just finished reading Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption - it's where Andy and Red ended up and started on restoring their fishing boat.

The Nth Degree Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 I thought I'd show the smoke unit in position. I know not many will choose this option, but it's there for those who do – and it will be a simple plug-and-play operation. All cabling, programming on the decoder and the ducting will already be supplied. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question, will the smoke unit operate dependent on load? ie more clag when pulling a heavy train?

I've noticed some European HO loco's have this feature How messy is the smoke oil and will it merely 'drift' out or, Eg. pulse on start up? Many thanks. CME The fan-assisted smoke unit is totally programmable from the decoder. It's controlled by two factors; the voltage which determines how much smoke is produced, and the fan speed which determines how fast it comes out. Both of these control functions are programmed into the decoder, and are timed with 'engine' speed and programmed load. There will be two options to choose from on the controller: light engine, which will produce relatively little smoke but will blow hard on acceleration and less on deceleration/idling, and loaded which will blow much more smoke with otherwise pretty similar fan speeds. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nth Degree Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Thanks, I'm happy with that. 4th place in Hornby Mag's product of the year, and two 3rds in BMRA – onwards and upwards! The problem is when (or if) we get a first place and then the worry of maintaining it! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Star Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The problem is when (or if) we get a first place and then the worry of maintaining it! Apologies for changing your comment... Just keep producing products that people queue up to buy... with quality and features that meet the public demand.... and build a better mousetrap. Establish a loyal customer base which is proud to say "I have bought one of those". Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 I posted this on the results page, but it's worth repeating here too: Thank you very much indeed to all of those who voted for Little Loco Company. Every vote is appreciated more than it can be imagined, and ultimately drives us on to produce better and more accessible models.

The Nth Degree Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yes it is. I usually pick this up from the destination address and alter the Commercial Export Invoice accordingly, but it's always worth getting in touch beforehand to let me know it's coming.
