G-BOAF Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Dave, you are checking each model at KMRC or at the docks?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2015 Love it, saying sorry for a slight delay in making sure everything is right. Yes - this whole story is a refreshing change in the world of r-t-r model railways. No loads of questions about 'where are they?' but good solid information about how they are getting to the UK - so we can have fun tracking the ship - and then an update of what is happening post arrival in the UK together with an apology for why it is taking so long (a whole week!!!). The even better news, which I hope DJM will try to maintain, is that he actually knows what is coming - quite an advance on others although I will concede that he is not yet importing stuff in quite the same quantity as Hornby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Dave, you are checking each model at KMRC or at the docks?... Hi mate, I'm checking them all at Kernow's starting Monday next week if anyone wants to pop in and say hello? Cheers Dave 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi mate, I'm checking them all at Kernow's starting Monday next week if anyone wants to pop in and say hello? Cheers Dave I would have thought that giving them a test run at Boscarne Junction would be more appropriate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservationModeller Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 A bit out of my way, but if I get a free day I may drive over. Look forward to receiving my two! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Dave Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Whats the next model to land Dave? Looking forward to the J94's It's a toss up between the O2 and the J94's mate. Not sure at the moment which as deco samples and minor alterations to both are being done at the moment. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservationModeller Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Holding my breath in anticipation; the credit card is gearing up for its battering too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Am standing in Kernow's shop currently awaiting the delivery. I understand there were problems on the M5 this morning that may have contributed to the delay. Promised for 12.00 but nothing as yet. So, in keeping with a recent theme....... Apologies for the late delivery........again! Lol :-) Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil gollin Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 . Can we now assume that the DJM knockers ("they still haven't produced anything") will now disappear - or will they just start on someone else who is actually doing something worthwhile (and hopefully profitable). .

PreservationModeller Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 People will find fault with anyone and anything these days. They'll probably move to "they've produced nothing for me..." I applaud Dave's customer service ethic here, testing each model himself prior to despatch. 48 down; how many thousands to go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I would love to have ordered one of Daves batch but I already have three that he did earlier under a different name!!!

DJM Dave Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Go on, how many good uns?? (was going to say how many failures but that being negative!!) Lol, so far around 200 of the 500 checked. 2 models I'd be embarrassed to put in an NQP pile, but as I have a full amount of spares should be fixable quite easily. 3 that started hesitantly but after a few minutes settled down nicely. And 1 that stuttered that needs to be looked at. So 3 so far out of the 200 that Im not prepared to put my name too. However, me saying their ok, won't stop them being kicked around by the postie unfortunately, so I'm hoping that side of things goes ok as well. HTH Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
