Gilwell Park Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hi I have been out of the country for a spell and on my return find that several topics are missing from this section, e.g.;O2, gate stock. Am I missing something, is it a glitch or have they been moved? Thanks Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted August 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi Dave. Are you able to give any further reports on the progress of the king? Revised CAD stage, pre production stage etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi Dave. Are you able to give any further reports on the progress of the king? Revised CAD stage, pre production stage etc. Hi mate, I'm sorry but I'm contractually obliged to not give updates on this project here. My client will be giving press releases to Andy of this parish as and when they wish to. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bending01 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi Dave As someone who obviously has a good handle on the model railway market perhaps you could enlighten me? Having looked enviously at the forthcoming O Gauge Heljan Falcon I wondered what your views were about the economic viability of producing it in N? (Yes I model N and want one...in blue.....and one in green! Could never make up my mind!) Is it viable in O because the market is bigger than N or the profit margins better because people are prepared to pay significantly more or is it a bit of both? The success of O never ceases to amaze me, especially for prototypes such as Falcon which, some would say, already had a limited number of admirers and/or modelling eras/regions. Apologies if the relativities of the O and N gauge markets have been discussed before! Thanks Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I note the Kernow O2 is being delivered over a span of a few months. Does this mean the severalteen varieties of the J94 (including commissions) will appear spread over a period of a few months also? My wallet is hoping the answer might be yes....

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Dave. I realise you probably can't answer but will try anyway. I was going through the CADs for the King again and noticed that it appears the front coupling pocket is attached to the underside of the front running plate as oppose to the bogie in pic 1. If so, will it be a similar sort of set up to Pic 2 like the Hornby Class 50/60 or something different? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M. Hi Pete, it depends if things get agreed and a contract signed, plus if my possible client would like exclusivity on press releases etc. I'd imagine that if this comes to fruition then things will be public domain very quickly. cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The success of O never ceases to amaze me, especially for prototypes such as Falcon which, some would say, already had a limited number of admirers and/or modelling eras/regions. Apologies if the relativities of the O and N gauge markets have been discussed before! Thanks Tony Hi, Good question and one i do think long and hard about. I once thought no, the market isnt big enough, but with rising prices at RRP, it is just possible that any manufacturer might find a niche in doing N gauge 'one off' loco's. Its certainly true that i am keeping a watch on the situation though. O gauge is a slightly different case in point. I think that the right product at the right price will sell. However i also think that £600+ for a co co locomotive is something any manufacturer who wishes to can cut severely to around £400 and still make full margin right down the line (excuse the pun). However if this never happens, you cant blame the manufacturer if the buying public don't object, and become used to what i consider higher prices as standard. Anyone who can then manufacture at a low price and sell high is onto a winner, that's for sure. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2015 What's the chances of you producing a GWR Castle to the same level of detail as the King for Hattons? Be great to have those two in ultra detail! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) What's the chances of you producing a GWR Castle to the same level of detail as the King for Hattons? Be great to have those two in ultra detail!Trouble with the Castle is that the current Hornby offering is already pretty good. Whilst I do not doubt that Dave could improve on it if he set his mind to it, the question is how much it would cost and how many people would upgrade from their current ones. My guess is that the market for a super-Castle is probably not enough to justify the tooling costs. Edited September 18, 2015 by Karhedron 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleset Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 If they brought out a castle in a proper green I'd buy one right now. The only reason me and many others I imagine have avoided the Hornby offering is purely because of the horrid paint job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
