royaloak Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yeah understood what Dave said and was just asking out of interest nothing more, nothing less. I think an update to say where this project is at the moment would be useful to those who have purchased the 92's that's all. At a guess I would say about 12 months or so, failing that, about a year or 365 days give or take a lot. Dave has given the reasons why, plus they have been written in enough threads already, and he is not willing to even attempt to tie it down any more for very good reasons as he has also posted several times. Unfortunately asking the same question time after time wont change the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM47079 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 To be honest I would rather wait for Dave to be sure that everything is as good as it can get even if it means a few hiccups. Models in the past have been criticised for having minor details not quite right, I think this model will be fantastic and will stand up to real scrutiny.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 12, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2018 A nice detail shot for a Caledonian 92... https://www.flickr.com/photos/ews60002/40184631241/in/photolist-239N2Dq-Kh1jcR-24dYMYn-G64fhE-24dYJRF-G662E1-24b64tC-24b42qJ-22Qw7jP-KgVjpe-G51C2U-22Sb9ST-KgVcRe-22RAih6-2396mFq-G5ZJSU-KgZj8e-22RAbDX-2393kzJ-22RAZrK-G63PPm-24b2PoQ-24dVKdD-24dVPon-KgZpBa-24dYie8-EyK2qa-24dZay6-G64xzq-23btRW3-G61xAy Cheers, Mick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Dave Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Good morning Dave, I was wondering if there was any update’s with the project? Hi, Not as yet, I’ve now got an up to date project progress list on my web site, that I will, keep updated with any progress. However, I expect a rash of updates regarding invoicing etc later this coming week. Hopefully the checks get pulled from all the wheels and we really start moving. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VXDH92 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hi Dave, I private messaged you the other day, but not sure if it's got through... I haven't yet had an invoice for the second instalment for the Class 92 and was wondering if I should have by now? Also, are there any further updates on the project? Cheers!

DJM Dave Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hi Dave, The situation as it stands is that the 92 in both gauges is having a ‘fettle’ In the OO one it’s to reduce potential cavity noise within the body shell for none dcc sound speaker fitted samples. Most of the noise on std class 71’s was that in leaving a space for the large speaker, it then acted as a speaker box and amplified the mechanism noise rather a lot. This quietened down with lubrication and use but was always present in the background. So i’m Working on this with inserts and baffles to try and prevent that. I’m also working on a. Couple of tweets to the chassis to make both gauges even better, and included in this is changes to cab fitment and lighting units plus of course the change to the CR versions for the slightly different height coupler point as the real ones have / are being altered for mk5 operations and so to keep realistic derails on both the N and OO models need to be ‘just so’. So no, you have not missed out on the invoicing for the 2nd payment, i’d Rather do that when i’m happy with progress. Cheers Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Dave Would placing a speaker in the speaker compartment reduce potential cavity noise to an acceptable level in the DC model If so would it be more cost effective to place a speaker in the place marked speaker or fiddle/fettle with inserts &/or baffles Just a thought John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure, and I don’t want to put the price up as it might have a negative effect on those that don’t want or use dcc sound. And there is a chance that some might cancel and say why should I pay for something I’m not going to use? Having said that the Farish 40 was sold with a speaker fitted, so I will look at the possibility and costs. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave Would have thought just a reasonably dense foam plug (similar to the foam that undoubtedly the model will be packed in) would be sufficient and easy to remove for those wanting to add a speaker to their model. Have used the same technique and material on other models to overcome the same problem. Sometimes the simplest fixes are often the best and most appropriate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 So Dave, like all good project managers do you have any time lines for the ongoing development of the Class 92... Design Buy Off, Tool Manufacture, Initial samples etc etc.... Sorry if it sounds a bit impatient... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteB Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Dave's project progress PDF, on his website, last updated 6th March, shows the Class 92 as R&D complete, CAD in final small revisions. So hopefully tooling is about to start, if it hasn't already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted May 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 1, 2018 Dave, Off the back of the 74 project, how are things stacking up for the 92? I have two on pre order with deposits paid etc, and while your page shows small revisions, this has been the case for some time. I guess I’m just wondering if this model in now in a similar situation or will it be pressed on with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roddy Angus Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hi Dave Since the initial announcement, you have made a number of new liveries available. Will there be any opportunity for those who committed to a particular livery (and paid deposits) in response to the original announcement, to "swap" their deposit to a different livery? Similarly will we be able to upgrade to the sound version? Thanks Roddy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 you can change any crowdfunded choice for another, and upgrade for sound if you need to. HTH cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesthecat Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just seen this on Facebook- not my post but he may echo the thoughts of a few so any update? Anyone had any updates on the DJ Models class 92’s in 00 gauge Pwaid a deposit for 3 at the start , emailed last year about amending my order to have 1 or 2 fitted with sound. And a few months ago asked regarding second payment as I’ve heard it’s coming up Kept checking the website every week but no update Emailed twice now with no reply just wouldn’t mind knowing if anyone as heard anything? Not picking fault or anything like that just wondering if anyone know anything so I can put my mind at ease and also start have a idea of when the next payment if due ?
