  1. better ask your mum if asking question to get answer is allowed . Or maybe you have the answers John
  2. Please show me were . your website has zero info . You have never answer the questions on loco spec sheet ,you have said it will be a good model . I am sure brio say there trains are good. Very open ended statment . Thats why i aked you were you do you see your model ie pick a model on the market and say we are aiming for that quality . Were is your registerd company address ? no info on the website ,I put it to you for the second time will all what you say on here and facebook be put on your website ? Referance the coment about new photos . I am aware she was scraped in 1966 it more for you to show us what you intend to make maybe some of thoes planes you have , John
  3. It all depends were KR models is registerd . In Canada He can do what he wants as our regs dont cover over sea purchases. In the Uk the regs apply . As we still dont have an address for this company we dont know on the postage and consumer wrights. In fact most of the points made on here by KR models have not been put on the website as the website is very very poor. Sorry I have seen many bad websites and this is one . All the photos are avaible on Google so nothing new and and no imformation of an value is there. It would have been nice if KR models had answered the questions posted about the model . As we are now in the second quater of 2019. 1 year to build and designe a loco well good luck . John
  4. hello Colin thanks for the info . I will happly wait to see how it looks in the full ness of time . John
  5. on the news letter when it is sent out in email ,is it an email were every ones email add is on it or just yours. I have not recived an update yet but I can happly wait till sunday and read it on the website . Question has there been an info on two areas of the models. 1 how the cars will conect togeather. The Hornby model was not to bad. I have a brand new bullet train 9 cars long and thats a pig to get on and off the track. 2 the tilting . will it be like Hornby were it was mechanical or are they going down the servo route ? john
  6. quick qestion . In the discription of the class 92 it says works pantograph. Does that mean a little motor raising and lowering them ? or does it mean you can run power throught them ? john
  7. Thanks Sorry did not realise Accrarscale were not crowd funding . But there website shows what a good spec sheet should be . Regard s john
  8. Hello Keith Since KR Models is an unknow . You have no track record or previous products to show . What can we expect from KR models on the GT3 Yes a speck sheet would be a good start missing from your website. A speck sheet only paints a bit of the pitcher. Were do you see your model , At the bottom end we could say 1980s Hornby good for the day .Moving up Hornbys railroad speck . Then topping out we could have Scale trains big blow or high end ROCO etc . Note not judging any loco but they are all at diffrent prices and diffrent quality. Sorry had to use Overseas locos for Top end as I have not modeled Uk for some time but am returning to Uk models What featurs are you going to have . working lights ?cap lights ? sprung buffers ? etc etc the list gos on . What raidus will it run on ? What sound features etc Here is a speck list from another croud funding company Accurascale . If I was to invest In there project I can see stright away what speck of loco I am getting . https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/british-rail-class-92/products/92022-charles-dickens This kind of info I would expect on your website with some mock up drawings and more information on the model . Your price of £185 non sound and £285 Sound does put near the top end UK market price. will we be getting high quality for this ? Since Kr Models is an unknown what happens if some one is not happy with there model ,can it be returned for a full refund ? weather it be in China or the UK will KR models be inspecting each model prior to shipping? By KR models I mean you and not the factory. As Chines quality control can be very hit or miss. Regard John
  9. Hi All ROCO loco came with a part sheet . Here is were it can get intresting . Roco were well know for using the same part on several diffrent models. each model using the same part but diffrent part number. What this meant was some times you got sorry part no longer avaible. The fix was to work out which models had the parts . So If a first you can not get the part try this .The Sik had a long run with roco. I use to work at Howes fixing Roco models so got to know them well . Stoped doing that years ago . Early gears UJ etc were made from hard plastic ,prone to splitting. I would say 20 years ago they started using a nylion based plastic and this fixed the problem . John
  10. Hi no it wont as BBC I player see you are not in the UK. Get a VPN set it to the UK and yes it will . John
  11. Hi as Mark has said there is two but he missed one . KTM brass. I have all 3 models lima ,KTM and Zoukei Mura. I can say by far the newest model by Zoukei Mura is the best. The quality is out of this world. It is not cheap . I got the main 4 car set the add om 4 car set and one extra moterised car. So thats 9 cars 3 with moters and that was 97000 yen or about £760. Lucky for me I was in Japan on work .Note this model is for the Japanese market only . N gauge there is only Kato Ktm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KTM-Tenshodo-Shinkansen-Bullet-Train-4-teilig-1-80-Spur-HO-ohne-OVP/192677034801?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 The Zoukei Mura add on set https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZoukeiMura-HO-Scale-JR-Shinkansen-Bullet-Train-Series-0-Add-On-Model-4-Car-Set-A/162801170269?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 If you need any photos please ask John
  12. Hi Gordon Thanks for the you tube link. Sound great . Just got a reply from Dave . They want a lot of functions to work but at the moment they are not 100% sure on what route to go down via the eletronics. It is early days in the project so we have to execpt there may have to be changes . 13feet WOW that will be a long train . Will look great in the Garden . I am pleased to say I am on board this project , can wait to get the train . John
  13. have you ever heard of Dyslexia ?
  14. Parcle farce , I will call them what I want. The reasion they get that name is because they are beyond a Joke . DHL and UPS provied a better service. Any way thats not what we are talking about . Yes I did get import tax it was about 2% then vat was added Not a large amount but still added . It was all on customes form . If I still had it I would put it up. It was the first time I had been hit with import tax as the value of the goods were above a certain amount and that was printed on the form Clearling stating IMPORT tax . I do understand how the Tax system works . The reasion there are so many people holding off paying a despoit like me is the uncertainty . So if you know were KR models are based please do share as we would all like to know.
  15. ok Then parcel farce added import tax wrongly to my parcel . It is low at 2% or some thing like that so was not much . But there still is Vat which would be big John
  16. beg to differ . Have brought locos from the US and been stung several times . VAT does apply on trains . Import dutes apply once the the item goes over a certain amount £150 wrings a bell. its not massive but added. John
  17. A few pointis I see. Yes the obious one is HMRC. If it is sent from Canada or China it would be subject to importax, then Vat on the shipping ,product and import tax plus the £12 or £8 fee from parcel farse . The one that worries me more is the final amount . China deals in US $ he lives in Canada were you have canada $ and we are in the UK. With march the 29th just around the corner the pound at the moment is very volitaile . I worry about a drop of 10% to 20% in the pound how would that effect the final price . A pointed out previousl all UK consumer proctection becomes nul and void , amount of less that £100 on credit cards are not protected. Not sure if amounts over are protected for over seas purches . Then spares parts etc .
  18. The Link is to his own Face book page . It would seam Keith revell has a reasional size digtal footprint. from there you can decide on what you think. It does show that he is in Canada or was there on 21st feb .On his web site Kr models which does has a UK tag .co.uk and not a Candaina .CA tag. The Face book page of KR models shows no address but would leave one to belive it is in the UK. I find it odd he not mentioned he lives and works in Canada. Before any one gos off on one I have nothing against Canada or some one from overseas doing a UK modeling project. I would like to own this loco, but some thing seams odd. I was just sharring some of the finds that come up on google of Keith revell of Canada that owns KR models .
  19. Hello Colin I have all ready emailed him . I would hope to get a reply next week. Just thought some one on here might also now the info I was asking for . John
  20. Could this be the KR of KR models https://www.facebook.com/keith.revell/map?lst=750545373%3A1599049725%3A1551563527
  21. Hi Jason I am thinking the same . A few thoughts The factory is in China .name dosnt mater as it would mean nothing . Nearly ever one use China . Start a company pick a subject gecrowd funding ,send all the data you have to China and they do all the work . Hopful at the end you have some models. If you dont fold the company . Thats were the problem is . If this guy is in Canada that would be a big problem ,No come back what so ever. What worries me more is his photo is on a Truck web site an MS website . Ok he could be a trucker collecting for charity MS and is a modler in his spare time , I have to agree I am intrested but need way more info. Amassed how many people part with there money so easily. John
  22. Hello have oly just found out about the APT. Realy shame I missed the crowd funding deadline. I am thinking of getting the 14 car set . May some people on here can answer some questions . Sine the model will have two DTS and two power cars . Will I need two DCC chips for the power cars and two function chips for the DTS? Does any one know if any one is doing a sound chip for the APT? Spare parts . has any one had any dealings with DJ models for spares ,are they good or bad? Last question how long will the model be in meters ? John
