south_tyne Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The NCB J94's arrive in the UK on the 28th August (Sunday) apparently. They will take about 5-7 days to get de-vanned and go to the distributor. I'll be co tacting each one of you that has ordered to get and process your credit card details. Each one will be shipped within 24/48 hours of payment. Hope this helps? Cheers Dave Fantastic news Dave! Absolutely delighted to hear that the austerity/J94 is arriving in the UK - I'm sure nobody will be disappointed and I wish you luck for the next lot of projects!

Trainman119 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hello, I have received the first 4 of my J94s as of September 01. They are absolutely everything Dave said they would be GREAT!!! The paint detail is superb, with the lining. Where do I find the instructions for dismantling the model to add cab details, lubricate etc. Additionally there were no certificates with limited edition numbers in the boxes???

Trainman119 Hi, All the Hattons J94's are limited to 200 models, and do not come with certificates. You simply have 1 of 200 that DJModels will not run in that name and livery combo again There should be instructions in the bottom of the box under the foam instead in each model. HTH Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 We've heard updates on the imminent availability of many of the commissioned J94s (Hattons 4 released and expecting more versions this weekend- Kernow advising theirs is imminant0, however what is the position regarding the production and shipping of the DJ own range models in LNER and BR liveries?

DJM Dave Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Model 001 will be with the distributors on Monday and start filtering out to stockists who ordered almost immediately. The remaining 4 models, are about 3 weeks away having missed the boat this time due to getting a couple of details correct. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Oh this is terrible news! I'm still waiting patiently for my MR USA tank which is of course being processed by Kernow. Now this young upstart brings in his new toys and slows them down more. Tut tut young man, wait your turn. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman119 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Dave, There is no exploded view of the locomotive or instructions for removing the cab without damaging anything to install cab details. How can the distributor come up with either of these items??? Seems to me that falls to you Dave. Trainman119 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman119 Hi, Sorry I don't understand, have I intimated that it is the distributors responsibility to have this information? I did intimate that there should be instructions for what you require under the foam in each models box. If this is not the case, then I'll put that right, but for now I'm slightly confused.

Hi mate, Wilbert gets delivered later this coming week. Not sure how long it will take to ship and process them though, but rest assured they are in country.

aussiebrfan Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Dave, any idea how much longer the wait for Wilbert is gonna be? I really do want to get that one paid off soon. Have you contacted or received an email from Owen? He would be best placed to advise or update you on anticipated arrival based on the very helpful communication I have had from him.

DJM Dave Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Whos DCC sound project are you going to fit in it? I'm interested to know the viewpoint before getting the chips in. Hi, The sound project isn't one I've commissioned or anything. In fact I gave a model to DC Kits and Leggomanbiffo to fit, about a year ago, which they apparently did successfully. However I never heard or saw video of the project so I cannot comment. Knowing those guys as I do, I would think the project files they used were, if you will excuse the pun,........sound!

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted September 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2016 Personally I'd fit the Paul Chetter/digitrains Zimo sound chip, very happy with that scheme in my Hornby Austerity and I believe that Paul has upgraded it since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I agree the Digitrains Zimo J94 sound is very good, having heard and controlled 7mm scale loco so fitted. Controllability is as important as the actual sound as far as I am concerned and Digitrains are particularly good in this department. Locoman sounds are very good too, particularly on the gallop, but I cannot make their decoders do what Digitrains decoders will do no matter how much I alter the various CV's. One day I will have to take another look at a Loksound decoder having been disappointed with my initial experience. I have to say these DJM Austerity 0-6-0's are very tempting too!

rembrow Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hi Dave There seems to be a glitch with the Pre Order/Expression of Interest proceedure for the DJ Models own range of J94s. I've received this afternoon a PayPal invoice for model 001, J94 with BR early crest and tall bunker, however I only placed an expression of interest when the model and others were announced 3 years ago. The DJ Models website stated and still does, that those expressing an interest would be contacted by e-mail first so that they can go ahead or not with the order before any invoice is raised. I have not been sent this decision e-mail (same e-mail address as 3 years ago) Extract from DJ Models site on Pre Order/Expression of Interest: 'Please feel free to place your 'order' which will be taken as an 'expression of interest' and DJM will not treat it as a binding transaction. However, once the product is available for distribution, I will mail you and ask if you are still interested in it. At this point you can say 'no thanks', or 'yes please'. If 'yes please' then I will send you an automated PAYPAL invoice or give you a link to pay ---' I e-mailed DJ Models after receiving the invoice to advise that I did not wish to proceed and my PayPal account with the invoice debit has now been cancelled, however I'm raising this as others must be receiving the same invoices, without having been asked first to confirm or turn down the original expression, which should be the process as previously advised. In my case and I'm sure others were the same, when the models were announced there were no retail outlets, subsequently retailers were signed up and I placed my order with Kernow Models, a retailer I have used for years. Can you clarify what should happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you clarify what should happen. Hi everyone, Just to clarify. Yes i have sent out invoices....these cost you nothing and if like some modellers',your tastes have moved on, then feel free to either contact me directly to cancel, or cancel the invoice. This will not cause you to spend a single penny and should be only 1 click away. I'll get notification and cancel it my end. If i do, you will get a Paypal notification of cancellation, which you will get if you click to cancel. Apologies for any confusion this may cause. However the bright side is that the models are here. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
