Steamport Southport Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Copied directly from DJM class 71 thread: I tell you what, why don't we just concentrate on the essence of the thread; that being the DJM Class 74? ('74' substituted for '71' of course) Said whilst complimenting a none DJM Class 74? Is that irony? Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well you were telling us to I tell you what, why don't we just concentrate on the essence of the thread; that being the DJM Class 74? And then went off topic. Unless that photo is of a DJM Class 74. Which it's not, it's a rival manufacturers model. Also notice the smilie, it was said in jest.

Steamport Southport Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I don't see what the problem is? No offence was intended. I was looking in this thread to potentially purchase a Class 74. It's not me who is posting photographs of Class 74s to poke fun or say "I've already got one". Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noone was poking fun at anyone's modelling from what I can see - the finger was being pointed at Rails, for asking that amount of money for what is quite obviously an attempt at kitbuilding a very, nay notoriously, poor kit that that even seasoned builders have trouble with. Whilst I applaud your defence of the builder, noone was actually having a go at them. Lets get back onto praising Dave and his 71/74............ cheers Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was agreeing indirectly with leopardml2341 that the thread should be about DJM Class 74s. I entirely disagree that no one was poking fun at the builder or the model. Why was it brought up in the first place and then have a page of "look at my model, it's so much better"? But I will leave it at that. Actions of others on this thread have probably just cost DJM a sale. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Now that the 71 is being shipped..... how's the 74 coming along? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 The 74 development really sat there for a while , as I progressed the 71. I'll not be looking at the 74 in earnest, and seeing what can be done re the shortfall in crowdfunding that exists. I'm hoping the 71 will help boost the 74 considerably once people run the 71 , word gets round and people see the detail. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Hi Roy, The 74 wasn't close to reaching a crowdfunding plateau. The 71 trounced it, probably because of the liveries. But maybe the 74 needs a 're-boot'?

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted May 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2017 .... But maybe the 74 needs a 're-boot'? Cheers Dave As the 71 has been successfully delivered, I for one would be more than happy now 'to put my money where my mouth is' and sign up for a 74 if you're going to relaunch the crowdfunding, Dave.

I ain't even seen a 71 let alone ordered one, not right for layout, but I too would be interested in a 74. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37081LochLong Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I have three 71's on order (2 Kernow, & 1 Hattons) but It was the thought of a class 74 that I preferred by far, so i paid for one of those too (and I don't even have any plans for a southern layout as I'm definitely a Scottish Highlands man)So I really hope that this progresses now that the 71 is showing it's face. I think a new push should be made to get new interest in the 74 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
