Thanks, I knew the 14xx was before any DJM own brand stuff appeared, but I hadn't realised the 1361 was a little bit later. Even so, that means in nearly two years all he's managed to produce is a few CAD drawings and a 3D print of a King, plus a lot of announcements.

Out of interest, have DJM actually released anything in the last couple of years? Last I can see is the N gauge mermaids in July 2017, and the OO class 71 a couple of months beforehand. Have I missed anything? Any commissions from retailers? He always stated the sales of one model would fund the next - if there's nothing to sell, he didn't stand much of a chance.

Over half of the 1200 copies printed have now been sold, without any real attempt at advertising.

Nevermind the jar, I've never seen anyone iron their track flat before!

I wonder how easy it'll be to paint one yellow and regauge it to 38.5mm gauge to model one of the Spanish ones http://www.loco-photos.net/picture?/34740/category/217-1988_01b_france_spain

I'm not so sure. Dave is still active on another forum I frequent, not railway related, and his writing style on there is identical to how it used to be on here. He was also active on that forum this morning.

https://www.sirnigelgresley.org.uk/trademark.shtml SNGLT have registered the nameplates for 60007 as trademarks, to prevent them being used for commercial gain. Understandable as a charity to try and maximise your income.

It would probably have worked fine if there hadn't been so much slack and backlash between the gears. Yes there should be a little bit of give between them, but you shouldn't be able to turn one gear at the start of the gear train nearly half a turn before the wheels start to move.

That was LR3090, which is a protected Simplex rather than an armoured one. Quite a few protected ones still around.

Bit grubbier than the real 778 was today

Is DJ going to get any more clients wishing to use him for their CAD work?

RMB 1880 en route from ELR to NYMR.

Plus the Romanian build quality was 'interesting'. "Individually handcrafted" was how someone within the Class 56 Group described them to me!

Quite impressive smell as well, if it's a warm day and the wind is in the right direction - the chicken farm next door can get very ripe! I've been a couple of times. First time wasn't too bad, the second time was when the two Lancasters flew over. The smell hit you as soon as you opened the car door!

The next road to where I live is Whitehicks on the signs on the west side of the road, and White Hicks on the east side. The road runs north-south, so each end of the road has a different sign on each side.

No need for yellow panels if the headlights and marker lights conform to the latest standards. Your retinas will be burnt if you look at the lights, so you wouldn't be able to see the yellow panel anyway! First pair 717s into service on the GN next Monday, meaning four 313s can come out of traffic.

Exactly. I'd like a King, and a 63xx, but his N gauge output isn't exactly stellar. One wagon, admittedly very good, which hasn't had a rerun. A Shark which to all intents and purposes is ready to be manufactured but hasn't. A Class 17 that was almost there before getting pulled. Expressions of interest for a few other items, and no information whatsoever about others. None of it really inspires confidence. I know a lot of his work has been commissions for other companies, but an N gauge wagon and two OO gauge locos doesn't seem a lot to show for a company that's been in existence for nearly 6 years.

Not bigoted at all. You only have to look through some of his work to realise it's riddled with inaccuracies. Such as stating the D600 Warships would've become Class 41 under TOPS. How could they, when they were withdrawn before TOPS was implemented? Or that the early AC electric locos had two pantographs, one for 25kV, the other for 6.25kV. Again, wrong, they were both connected to the same transformer. There are others if you wish to look. He takes some nice photos, but any text has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Not sure I'd completely trust something technical written by Colin Marsden.

Stevenage and District club are open a couple of days a week, 10.00 - 13.00, as well as a couple of evenings. Having your own premises is handy.

I'm guessing DJ has done the usual and asked people not to share the email until he gets round to putting it on his website?

GWR HST set should move north on Tuesday, via Midland mainline.

https://flic.kr/p/bnZvk3 Not the clearest sadly, and no idea of you can get hold of a better copy from the LT Museum. I'm sure I've got a copy of a drawing somewhere, as I like you, I'm planning an E class in N gauge. It'll be locked away in the shed if I have got it though! I remember buying an old Railway Modeller from Ebay for Met loco drawing, but I have a feeling that was for another loco.
