Mad McCann Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Relax, Gary. They're at an advanced pre-production stage. They're still a wee bit off release! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9402 Fredrick Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I was able to reserve one apparently, so I guess they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steve Purves Posted January 8, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2016 The painted samples of the Hattons and Standard DJM models have been shown, is there any progress on this one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 It is progressing, the delay has been down to me and artwork (for the numbering). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 I've had a few IT distractions over the last couple of weeks but the artwork is now on its way to China so we should see a decorated sample sometime after Chinese New Year. It's the first time I've had to work out the full details of a livery from references and produce the artwork, DJ Models supplied the line drawing of course but even so it takes quite a few hours to do all the fills and make a call on the tones of colours, after all there's nothing to match it to in this case. There's no matching fonts for the number so it's been a case of doing it the long way. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Garry D100 Posted January 27, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Tried the reservation link in the first post of this thread , but the page no longer exists on DJ Models website. So does that mean they are all gone ? Edited January 27, 2016 by Garry D100 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Ye gods that bunker looks horrible- must mean you've got it right as I always thought wasp stripes looked nasty on steam bunkers in the prototype...... I'm looking forward to receiving mine. If you've only just got the artwork on its way that hopefully should put it far enough down the queue for my wallet to have recovered from the BR one and 71515 before it arrives.

railfan76 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Will it be possible to have one shipped over to Germany? If so, then I'll definitely go for one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Will it be possible to have one shipped over to Germany? If so, then I'll definitely go for one. Hi, Shipping to Germany is available at cost to be notified when we ask you for your credit card details for the model. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomp Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Can I just check whether I was supposed to have had an email or similar to confirm my order? I (think I) ordered a while back, but I haven't heard anything. Also, does VAT come off for us decadent Channel Island types? Thanks Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see anything on file for you I'm afraid. However not to worry, please re order and I'll confirm I have it as soon as I get a confirmation mail from my system, in a pm to you. As for VAT, I'll look into it, and if it's the case, of course I will, and if not, I'll charge you 5 times the amount for being cheeky and also living in such a beautiful place! ;-) Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steve Purves Posted March 31, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think I have one of these on order. Having seen the samples from Mercig for the Hattons locos its a shame this one isn't heavily weathered too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Dave dropped by on Friday afternoon with the first deco sample; he did warn me in advance about the colour! Yes, it is far too lemony but I'll hold my hands up and say that the applied colour was not that far off the Pantone colour I'd quoted on the artwork, it's only when you see it on a model you can make a judgement and that verdict was, from Dave, me and everyone else who's looked at it was "Yuk!" But that's the whole point of a deco sample, to look at the application and then see what needs to be done, in this case get a pair of Foster Grants or use it as a hi-viz jacket or tone the yellow down. We've discussed and agreed a shade which will change its appearance towards the adjusted image shown below. There are other issues: The red needs to be a little darker and less orange. The chimney should be yellow, as per the artwork, and not black. The vertical face of the rainstrips on the cab roof should be black rather than yellow (as per the artwork). There shouldn't be a lamp bracket on this one over the smokebox. For some reason they use a cab back from the J94 high bunker variant with rectangular windows rather than the correct round windows with safety bars. We have determined through one image that the tank-side ladders were bracketed onto the handrail rather than the tank-side in this case but we will leave as-is and if anyone wishes to tackle that aspect it can be done later by snipping the ladder back and filling the two small holes. There was, on the real thing, a pipe from the dome to the cab, presumably to measure pressure. It wouldn't be worth tooling that for this limited run of 200 but I've had a brief discussion with someone who maye be able to supply this as a 3D print aftermarket part. I'm delighted with all the other aspects of the model, particularly the definition of the wasp stripes on the bunker with the lamp brackets cleanly applied afterwards and the lettering and numbers with the shadowing. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted April 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'd be tempted to blacken the edges of the lower red steps to disguise their thickness, maybe not prototypical but might help the overall look Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I do like the wonky lamp iron, very industrial, keep it. You have checked that the prototype actually had all three? Many either lost them or never had them to start with. If my sums are right that puts you three months (ish) behind the Hattons ones- is that a fair assessment? If so it will give my wallet time to recover from a possible excess of saddletanks..... All the very best Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonside1563 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The cab back is incorrect, it should have the standard round windows not the extended bunker version. Edti: just spotted you already knew that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there are a few left but not many, and I expect them to sell completely out once the second deco breaks cover in a few weeks, if not before.

RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted April 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2016 The locomotive was saved by its acquisition by NCB Cadley Hill Colliery's manager with the loco remaining at Cadley Hill in Leicestershire until the end of steam there in 1981. Andy. Just read through the opening post. I always thought NCB Cadley Hill was the one near to Swadlicote, close to the A444, part of the South Derbyshire Coalfields or is there another Cadley Hill in Leicestershire? PS any plans to do a weathered version or is that up to us? I can remember it working there looking as per your opening image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
