RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted November 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2013 Ok, now I have a vested interest in this can I implore Dave to liase with either Paul Chetter or myself so that DCC sound provision is designed in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 You could but I'm already working on the idea of sugar cubes in the bunker. :-) Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted November 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2013 You could but I'm already working on the idea of sugar cubes in the bunker. :-) Cheers Dave Sounds good, speaker and room for a capacitor in the bunker, with maybe a removable weight for those who don't want DCC sound.

AMJ Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thanks Dave, will need to add all 3 versions onto my Leeds Engine builders site. Order placed. Can't beet an industrial Austerity tank loco other by say a Manning Wardle for looks or mass appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben racey Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 This IS very tempting....doesn't fit with anything I model, but austerities are the only steam I saw in the wild in GB, so I may well have to get one! Regards Richard, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, any comment on the impact on timelines for the BR liveried ones please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi CP, Sorry but I am not in a position to talk about my income streams from models/toolings etc. I hope you understand? As for 'hasten or delay', I doubt it will delay anything as the cad/cam's are being tweeked and adjusted accordingly at the minute, so should be ready to metal cut soon. Sorry to be so vague. cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted December 4, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 4, 2013 Sorry if I expressed this badly, I was really trying to ask whether this arrangement will make the br liveried ones come sooner or later than they otherwise might have?

DJM Dave Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 lol, no worries. I'd be expecting delivery of the ltd RMweb ones at the same time as the main batch. Seems a perfect way to keep QC up, and I can then check them all at the same time. cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my name down for one when it was announced and will soon have a layout to run it on...!! David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi David, The J94's are first in and out of the tool room, Production will take place ( for this RMweb version) alongside the regular versions and I'm expecting something to show publicly late August early September. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasslands Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The samples of the J94 were looking really nice. I really liked the tall coal bunker version, but i can't resist a bright yellow one with a ladder. Pre-ordered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hornby Magazine just posted a photo on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hornbymagazine/photos/a.144847868888140.16744.129246407114953/805525879486999/?type=1&theater Being a (I suppose) first EP, she looks a bit rough around the edges (not crisp as a final model should be) but gives an idea of all the separately fitted details. Compared with my 20 year Dapol one, it has the strong points of that model but is more refined in areas. These comments of course are based on what we see on the surface. Doubtless below that she will be light years ahead... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of tweeks needed before a second EP is accepted, including moulding tolerances, getting rid of the water tank seam line, and the square around the under cab pipe work, amongst others. The motorised version works just fine though and has done about 45 hours this week in testing, without a hiccup. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the penguin of doom Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Having learnt recently that a couple of these were shedded in the Hull area, I anticipated the pre production models eagerly. I looked at the pictures on the RMweb live thread today, (post 1150), but was left a little underwhelmed with the general look of these models. There is an apparent join line along the bottom of the saddle tank which is very apparent on the model, but not, (as far as I can see), on the prototype and the pipework moulding beneath the cab appears to be moulded with a rather thick back plate which is also not apparent on the prototype. Also, the brass ladder looks rather chunky too although I'm sure I could source a replacement for this if necessary. Apart from that, the model seems to be a fair representation of the prototype. Does anyone know if these issues will be present in the production run? Cheers. Sean. **Edit** Just saw the mention of this in post 21. I'm assuning these issues are in hand.
