rs4 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well Hugh, my initial feeling is that you should be very pleased with that. Can't wait to take delivery and make it look like it's been round the block a few times....ouch. Brake discs I guess too. Hoping you make a return out of this too...

Mike Storey Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Superb Hugh - thanks. Can't wait to fit these (the non-CRM version) into a rake of JXA/POA's and BDA's heading for Sheerness Steel. I may have to park my one, wobbly, kit-built SPA, or put it in the cripple road..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Flynn Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Nick (rs4) No not a penny will be made until I sell almost all of the second batch I am not taking any money myself as I want to plough it into CO2 tanker. One thing I have got to say is a great big thanks to everyone for the pre-orders. Having only been delivered one sample it is going to be hard getting it to all the mags.

Mike Storey Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Nick (rs4) No not a penny will be made until I sell almost all of the second batch I am not taking any money myself as I want to plough it into CO2 tanker. One thing I have got to say is a great big thanks to everyone for the pre-orders. Having only been delivered one sample it is going to be hard getting it to all the mags. Hugh I presume that means the next set of liveries. Whilst I completely understand you have been, and still are, preoccupied with getting batch one out into the market, can I strongly suggest you soon add the next batch as a description in "Future Releases" on your website (which only shows the planned CO2 tanks at present) to whet the appetites of others? I say this because Dave has mentioned the Class 74 loco as a possible next model for DJM, whilst promoting the Class 71. I cannot really justify a 71 for my layout context, but I would really like a 74. In effect, he has made me watch the progress of the 71, and possibly even buy one, if it means the 74 will get produced. A bit of psychology from a head case.....

Hugh Flynn Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hi Mike Yes I totally agree but please wait and see I cannot place order until I have sold enough to pay for ordering next batch. Over 50% of plain railfreight pre ordered once it hits mags hope rest will sell then I can place the order. Please remember these wagons in this railfreight livery will not come around for a good while once sold out. Hugh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Storey Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Please remember these wagons in this railfreight livery will not come around for a good while once sold out.
