Dungrange Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 David, Pete will be lining up a couple of well known kit builders to build the kits for those who don't fancy wielding a soldering iron. Personally I can't wait P.S. "your" machine will be UK1 David, the only time it ventures south is when it's working it's way down to Ashford for annual maintenance. It was at Rutherglen this week, I used to catch it for inspection at Tyne Yard though, nice drive up the A1, see Rusty Rita, McDonalds on the way back down south, job done Pete, Can you let me know how much it would cost to have the kit built by someone who can actually solder well? I may be tempted to put in a pre-order? Regards David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_B Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ok the first 10 kits are spoken for there is still time if anyone else wants a kit as I will increase the first order to 15 kits Pete Pete, when do we discover if the orders are inside the number you're producing for batch 1? Ian_B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Batch 1 will be 15 kits in size and once I have orders to fill batch one I will post that "Batch 1 has been filled" then I will start taking order for Batch 2 which will have a limit set then. Originally I had intended to recommend three builders for this kit but two builders have had a quite significant change in there circumstances and there will now be only one builder Mozzer Models the construction and painting cost will need to be worked out between Mozzer and the kit purchaser and I will not be supplying the kit directly to Mozzer. Don't badger Mozzer as for what he would charge as he has not seen a kit and it would not be fair to expect him to quote a building/painting price on something he has not seen.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2015 kit built by someone who can actually solder well? I'm not sure anyone of that description has yet to put one together Sorry, Pete coat on ....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2015 Seriously now. IF I get time I will fit a DCC chip to my prototype build and it can run out on Summat Colliery at Doncaster this weekend if anyone wants a look Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2015 Well stab me vitals as Wogan used to say ..... drive car #1 (or is that DR79267?) is running on DCC, pickup from both bogies too I had to fit a new drive belt as the original one had stretched and taken a set where it had rested on the small pulley - not good. To fit a new one means taking the drive bogie apart, but the components clip together so it's not as onerous as you might think. Fiddly mind I will run it out on Summat Colliery if anyone wants a look this weekend at the BRM show Doncaster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Davison Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I will run it out on Summat Colliery if anyone wants a look this weekend at the BRM show Doncaster I will be at Doncaster with Alderford and would really like to see the Rail Grinder in action. I'll pop over and say hello. Cheers Jeremy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
86902 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Is it possible Ian to fit and store a second belt, a bit like we used to on the buses to save a lot of work when one broke? I'm about 6 hours in on mine now Cheers Bob 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 5, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2015 Not a bad idea Bob, I'd be a bit concerned that the loose spare belt might get tangled up though. Pete - thoughts on providing a storage location on the drive mechanism for a spare belt or two? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 After testing the drive system on a prototype model and altering a few of the parts to rectify drive problems highlighted by Ian the drive belts will last a lot longer and will give increased traction.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 5, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2015 Good point, was it just the bigger lower pulley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Don't badger Mozzer as for what he would charge as he has not seen a kit and it would not be fair to expect him to quote a building/painting price on something he has not seen. Pete Thanks Pete, Having contacted Mozzer Models, it would appear that a ready-to-run cost is potentially in the region of £500. That is around £225 for parts (as per your post #104) and an indicative ball-park build and paint cost in the region of £265. Obviously the price would be higher if lighting and DCC or DCC sound is required (both in terms of parts and fitment). It's a lot of money, so I just need to decide if that is affordable. It certainly looks like a nice model. Shame I won't be at Doncaster to have a look at Summat Colliery. Regards David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted February 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2015 Based on my experience of the kit I think that price is utterly reaonable 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
