DJM Dave Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Jeffrey, As soon as I have something tangible and viewable I'll post here. However, please don't expect a certain model at a certain time. I'm playing this one slightly more cannily and making sure I have the 2 years to clear these ( possibly with the class 71 the exception as crowd sourcing the finance for it should push it through a lot quicker). Hope this helps, but if not, please keep checking the 'timeline' page of my web site to look for individual model progress. Www.djmodels.co.uk Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Seagull Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Dave A quality 59 is long overdue and the possibity of O&K's a major bonus. I'm looking forward to seeing its progress on here, on your website and uttmately heading a pukka mendip stone train through Loftus Road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'll have 3 please Dave! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caradoc Rd Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 3 for me, too (if you see what I mean, Dave. I think I've just died and gone to heaven... What an occasion for a first post! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaveadams1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'll have all the 59s and 19 O&K wagons please! Although I just need to phone my mortgage provider to release some funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(S) Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Really pleased to hear about the 59s. They've appeared on my wishlist votes for several years. Definitely a Yeoman 59/0 for me and I'll no doubt go for an ARC 59/1 even though I try to restrict myself to one of each class! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugsley 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? Just found out and I'm happy. I said I'd never do another one, now I don't have to! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2014 You leave me with a difficult decision now. A decent 59 (and better yet a decent yeoman hopper and box to go behind it) is something that really appeals. even if it is about 45 years too late for the layout. Will be having a long hard think about replacing my almost finished Lima / Bachmann hybrids... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Excellent choice Dave, long over due for a decent 59. The DB and original Yeoman appeal. Hope it proves a success for you. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi mate, OO ones are, of course. fully independant cab lights for those that want them. cheers Dave Hi Dave, Is it not possible to move things on and have separately DCC switched tail lights rather than via an under-chassis switch as per Bachmann? I believe this is possible with a some 21 pin decoders (such as an ESU Loksound) as they have two low-level unprotected outputs, making six in total. Admittedly they need "off-decoder" amplification to drive anything useful though. I'm wondering why you haven't gone down the PluX route for decoders to allow for more functions to be available? Ideally, I'd like head/tail/cab at each end, making 6 in total. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beacon Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great news. Although I'll be holding out for an EWS version (preferably Vale of York), I may not be able to resist the National Power version too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Have to say that this is the most impressive annoucement lately. It sneeks into Bachmann territory, yet has immediate widespread appeal for the modern modeller and is not as limited as the wires of the class 90 that Barwell have gone for. Its also an engine thats a workhorse, one that isnt a novelty to be seen on the network so in my view steals thunder from the Rapido APTE annoucement. Hope it does well.... Id have been tempted for an EWS example... so sales after this batch are garunteed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryMeerkat Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Wow Dave, an excellent choice for the modern image modeller! I wish you all the best with this, and I'll be ordering at least 2, some more if an EWS version is released. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Dave Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi Tom, It's always a possibility, but in all honesty I'm not thinking that way at the moment. Ask me again in 18 months :-) Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tase Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is fantastic news Dave just what I've been waiting for! I'll most likely pick up a Schenker one but would also want an EWS version too pretty please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
