mikesndbs Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hi Dave I am just desperate to get started with this model lol what are deco samples? Cheers MIke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I fully understand mate, However I want this model just right, not nearly right and second best. Where's the point in that for any of us? This model will be something that I want everyone who has signed up for this to think.... 'My word, I'm glad I went with DJM for this model as it's worth it, not just in cost (as we all know) but detail, presentation etc' Soon mate, I promise.

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted May 14, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hello Dave, Sorry if I've missed a post on here, but any further news on the O gauge models, specifically the Baby Deltic? Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternKing Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hi Dave Do you have an update on the production and delivery timescale for the main range 'oo' gauge J94. The last update on RMWeb and on the DJ Models website were in November last year and you anticipated production to take place before the Chinese New Year with delivery to the UK in March 2016. That doesn't seem to have happened, so is there an update. The DJ Models website timeline chart was last updated in November last year, and is out of date for the J94 and the Class 71 as we've seen further stages on this site than is shown on that chart. Hi Dave, I can't find a reply to this post, are the Clayton's nearly ready yet? Robert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 From what news i have heard, Dave is concentrating on the J94s, and the Claytons will be produced in the future. If I recall correctly (and please feel free to correct me here Dave) the Claytons were still at CAD/CAM stage with a vague possibility of being ready for tooling. I want them too, but lets give Dave a chance to sort out one set of models first we await the J94s with baited breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hi, In N gauge the J94, 17 and 23 cad designs were finished and released to tooling. However since I was working on quite tight margins to launch a good product at what can now be seen as a quite cheap, when compared to others, price I thought, at the time that this was wise. However about 4 months ago the pound decided to do its dying swan act re exchange rates and that further hit me. So monies put aside for the completion of tooling are going into the OO J94 and getting that to market. (Incidentally the J94 is in production now) In a couple of months time these will be trickling through and the 17 can push ahead with the 23 on its tail as I won't be cash rich, but will be able to afford to get these 2 out sharpish. The mermaid is in second ep stage with painted samples expected soon, then comes the shark, turbot, bolster E, and road van. Then it's full steam ahead, sorry, on the remaining outstanding DJM projects, including the q6 in N etc the J94 will fit amongst this somewhere but at the moment, baby steps. Hope this helps Cheers Dave 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Dave, Thanks for the reply ... Ice lost the thread a little though ... Do you mean the class 17/23 in O, OO or N? Can appreciate its a difficult task, as well as being horrendously expensive!

ukpepsi Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi Dave, I'm heartened to learn that things are still moving forward on the Class 17, even if it is slowly. The manufacturing landscape in China has changed considerably since you made your initial announcement, so the news that progress is still being made is still good news. I look forward to the eventual release of the N Gauge 17. Ray Pepsi Colla 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexl102 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi Dave, On the edition of your J94 which has 'BRITISH RAILWAYS' written out on the tank, will the running number be on the bunker side or on the tank? Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Can you say what the axle diameter will be for your J94? I ask because the Gibson wheels for the Hornby J94 are 2.5mm diameter i/d. Regards Edited May 21, 2016 by PenrithBeacon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I suspect replacing DJM wheelsets may not be a simple task. Looks possible that each axle will be geared along the lines of an co- co diesel, all axle drive motor bogie with the coupling rod just being cosmetic. Hope I'm wrong.
