milkman matt Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I seem to be a bit behind the times here but, I have just recently found the John Day white metal range of vehicles. http://johndaymodels.webplus.net/index.html Being fairly new to white metal and having recently built a white metal kit from another supplier that was average at best, I was, of course, a little wary of what would arrive in the mail. Nevertheless, I decided to bite the bullet and try a couple from this range. I must say, The 2 kits ordered arrived in today's post and, at first glance, look to be very good kits indeed. The two I ordered were SRV06 Humber 16/50 Saloon and SRV79 Austin 16hp Saloon. Both have been recently re mastered by the current owner, Daryle Toney and are a credit to his work. the details are superb. There are minimal parts and no need for assembly instructions as the kits are very simple. As a novice white metal builder, I will certainly be keeping an eye on this range for the foreseeable future. SRV06 Humber 16/50 as supplied. SRV79 Austin kit as supplied.

SRman Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I like the John Day kits and have built quite a few over the years. Current owner Daryle is great to deal with, friendly and helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndaymodels Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi Matt, I'm pleased you are a satisfied customer and enjoy the models I produce, you will be pleased to know that I have acquired most of the R Parker range of 00 models and will slowly be absorbing them into the John Day range.

johndaymodels Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I saw Rod last week and he is very much pushing on with his N gauge which is already substantial. unfortunately Rod isn't on the net so you will have to write to him;…details in the Railway Modeller.

RMweb Premium 2996 Victor Posted October 1, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2019 Just to add my two penn'orth, I've got a couple of light commercial vehicles from Daryle's John Day range to put together and they look excellent, and I've also got a couple of Hereford cattle sets and a herdsman/bulls set: they are probably the most realistic cattle figures I've seen!

Daryle. Daryle Thanks very much for that reassuring news. Good luck with the 00 range which is a nice fit with your existing range, with happily few duplications.
