Coach bogie Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) From David David Geen Kits/Haye Development 4mm Coaches. David Geen kits would like to announce the acquisition of Haye Developments from the late Roger Slade of CSP kits, hand over details have been agreed and are being finalised. David Geen kits want to ensure the continued availability of the 4mm range, of which many diagrams are only available from the Hayes Range. Initially the coaches will be available as flat etches only, apart from the Dreadnoughts which will be supplied with the recessed door casting. Castings and plastic roof section, to complete will be available from the current David Geen Kits range, but sold separately. The only kit not to return is the F13 Concertina slip as this coach is already represented in the current David Geen Kits range. David can be contacted on 01429 269600 or email at davidgeen111@gmail.com Please be aware that David is not available at all times to take telephone calls and answer emails. He tries to return enquiries as fast as possible, but family commitments come first. Mike Wiltshire Edited May 21, 2017 by Coach bogie 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tries to return enquiries as fast as possible, but family commitments come first. Mike Wiltshire Great news. Thanks. Longstanding requirements include a Dreadnought Composite, Van Third and the 70' Double-Ended Slip. IIRC, there was a 70' Toplight or 2 in the range, too. Looking for another 70' Brake Composite of some description. Was there a 70' Newspaper Van, or was that just Mallard/Blacksmith? I believe David already has some flush-sided 70' Toplights in his range, though I seem to recall that they were significantly more expensive than the Hayes/Blacksmith/Roxey ranges. Still, this is one type of coach built to 70' not yet represented in the mix, which I think is a significant omission. As 247 Developments are not, I believe, re-introducing the TPO etches, there is another gap there to be filled - L13 and L14 Dreadnoughts and the Collett TPO of the early '30s.

For TPO sides you could look for the Hammond range of old, who produced most of the clerestory and steel sided. 247 only produced the L13. For the L14 I believe, Trevor Charlton was the only source.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted June 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2017 I have a couple of W/050 Diag L/P autotrailer kits that are surplus to requirements. Both are complete, untouched and unstarted. UCurrent list price is £95.00 each, I'm looking for £70 ono, plus postage at cost or they can be collected at the Warminster show this coming weekend.

Mike Wiltshire Thanks, Mike, 247 used to do the Collett TPOs, phased into the WoE TPO during the early '30s. By 1935 I believe all the clerestories had gone, the last probably being the K9 brake. But the Dreadnought-style 70' L13 and l14 were still going. I have, somewhere, 247 etches for one of these (I guess from what you say, the L13), but it was missing much vertical beading and I suspect represented some plating over probably from the later half of the 1930s. Memory fades, but was E78 the "Tri-bog-comp"? I seem to recall this was in the Hayes catalogue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory fades, but was E78 the "Tri-bog-comp"? I seem to recall this was in the Hayes catalogue. Some of the Clerestories were kept as spares. There was an L15 double net clerestory parked up at Old Oak, though whether it was actually used or not I do not know. The GPO paid to have reserve vehicles. The K17 clerestory stowage lasted until the 1950’s again paid for by the GPO. This one was definitely used. There was a recent Great Western journal with a shot of a county at the stops at Paddington with a K17 on an adjacent platform. The E78 is the tri bog with the clerestory style lookouts Mike Wiltshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2017 As we near Railwells, and I start to planning shopping list.

Horsetan Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 .....Could anyone confirm if David sells the chassis from the Mitchell kits seperatly (and what the current price is)....

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2017 Depends if it is just the etch or with wire and bits Mike Wiltshire I think it's just the main chassis etch / spacers / pony truck that would be needs, as all of the bearings, horn blocks, cylinders etc would be recovered from the existing chassis.

Rail-Online Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I doubt very much if David keeps these 'in stock' at shows. I would suggest that will need to pre-order at least a week (or two!) in advance of Wells Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) David has his stand at Scaleforum this weekend. He is officially announcing his retirement from trading at the show. David will cease trading at the end of May 2018. After this date the business will sold. There have been enquiries and it is hoped the range will continue with a new owner. The sale will not include the Mitchell loco kits which will return to the current owner Pete Waterman. David would like to thank everyone for their enthusiastic support over the years, but the time has come to spend more time with his family and his own layout. David can be contacted on 01429 269600 or emailed at davidgeen111@gmail.com These are not manned 24 hours, and David has other commitments, but he will get back to you when he can. There are still a couple of shows that David has accepted if you want to meet in person or get yourself down to Aylesbury this weekend.

Coach bogie Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have just been sorting through the Hayes range with David and found a few surprises. Firstly for 4mm modellers there is an underframe etch for the Airfix/Hornby Centenary Brake 3rd. This is more detailed than the Comet underframe and include body detail parts such as water tanks, fillers and a couple of window frames. as far as we can tell, this has never been released. I am trying to judge demand for this. If it of interest, please let me know a sthis will determine whether David runs any more off. There is also a 4 wheel coach diagram S?? (sorry image is corrupt, I will take another later in the week.). This is a complete body/ underframe that needs the ends and roof from a ratio wheeler. David has run one etch from every film available. Less of a surprise, considering previous owners, are 7mm etches for the Dreadnoughts. These are etches only and if anyone is interested, they are available at cost. Please let me know, as they are not part of David's current plans.

chrisf Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Mike, thank you for posting that. I have a Centenary brake composite on the stocks - Comet sides on Airfix body - and that etch would enhance it more than somewhat. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndg910 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 At the Aylesbury show last year it was announced David was retiring in May 2018 and in anticipation I placed an order with him in late Feb. Since then nothing. Have called and emailed twice, once to his gmail account but no reply and my cheque hasn’t been banked. Has David stopped trading early, had the business been sold? Does anyone know how to get hold of him other than via the email and number posted somewhere on here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's due to be at Scalefour North in Wakefield in a couple of weeks time. I'm hoping to catch up with him then. I will email him, i don't usually get a reply, but he's always turned up with my orders in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
