DJM Dave Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The OO gauge class 59 is another much asked for locomotive built to a modern standard and with the detail modellers come to expect as standard. This model is already in development within the factory in China and paint swatches etc have also been approved. However these is still a way to go with this model and I would ideally love to produce the O&K hoppers as well but have been unable to source the plans for these as yet. The model will feature a coreless motor, heavy chassis, directional lighting, etched grilles all round, separate wire handrails, DCC 21 pin decoder socket with a large space for a sound speaker, sprung buffers, alternate valances and super detailed bogies and of course alternate slide details for various versions. Special editions available upon application from stockists.

cheesysmith Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well, that saves me having to dismantle a 66 to do a pugsy. Has anybody actually told pugsy yet? Somebody should approach Bachmann to release their freight liner hopper in NP livery with LTF bogies, would be a sure fire seller. Ps- how about vale of York as the first release? Shorter name is easier to cover, unless yours are coming with etched nameplates/number plates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2014 A good choice, Dave. I hope it does well for you. All the very best for the future. Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Excellent choice. Although I model 1930's Westbury, there is often a 'blue' weekend and, having spent many happy hours on Westbury in the 70's/80's, I will be welcoming 59002 to my layout. Added bonus with Peter's Spares now an official stockist. I am not at home at the moment, otherwise it would have been a trip into Middlesbrough this afternoon.

hoovered Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks Dave, After my disappointment at the Bachmann newbies, I was hoping for something special from you. I was hoping that you would do an class 89 Badger, but this will do just fine. Roger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shedmaster Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Dave, I'd just like to offer my 'Hugest Thanks Possible' for producing the 71' and the 59'. These two are 'must haves' for my layout of 'Stewarts Lane', which should be ready to accept these models just around the same time as they are available. Best Wishes for your future endeavours, MANY THANKS! Kindest Regards, Shed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Another cracking model Dave, as I model in mid 60s and 2000 post nationalisation I can justify this one and replace my Lima/Hornby models. Your proposed models for 'OO' gauge are stunning. Congratulations and I wish you success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaveadams1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Amazing news! I just need a 40ft layout to run Jumbo trains on. Thank you Dave, you've made my year if not decade! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2014 Not my scene (in modelling terms) at all but we did have 59103 on our 5,000 tonne trailing load trial out of Whatley so I can claim some sort of emotional link with a class for which I had a lot of time as a railway operator. A very good choice for the modeller of the modern(ish) railway and I hope it's the commercial success it deserves to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaveadams1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Just to add, I have pre ordered the Dapol 59 in N but I can see me waiting for the DJM one to be released now. If only you could find the O&K drawings, these would be the icing on the cake! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpshooter Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Dave, you are my hero!! This loco is what started my interest in railways. Quite a few livery variations to cover, so should be a good seller for many years. Just need Bif to sort out some sounds for it, as they are quite different to the 66's. Any ideas on timescales for this project? Thanks again, Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 As to the hopper wagon drawings, have you asked on the DEMU forum, someone on there is sure to have some. Or even a request in the help section on here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2014 Wow Dave!
