RMweb Gold Markwj Posted April 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2019 Pity he didn't go for May 4th and a Star Wars tie in - no idea what though. To be fair we haven't had an announcement from anyone in over a week so one is due! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted April 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2019 Oooh, so those who are neither unequivocal supporters or cheerleaders are ne'er-do-wells... Yet again, it's the world against Dave, so to remedy this, another announcement will be made. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Hopefully not another crowdfunding adventure. I mean - I hope its a shop or museum that has commisioned the project, then fair enough. Edited April 29, 2019 by JSpencer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Wow there is a lot of vitriol on this thread. DJM have produed some good products, an Austerity that betters its predecessor, with a huge range of detail variations and introduced crowdfunding to Model Railways, as well as carried out high quality production runs for KMRC of the BWT. The guy is an enthusiast putting his money (and other people's money) where his mouth is, which is more than nearly all of the contributors to this forum (excusing the manufacturers or employees on here!). 7 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree well done to Dave for putting his own money in however no one held a gun to his head to do this -he could have walked away and done something else less risky. And no I haven't remortgaged my house to make my fortune in model railways but that is not where my skills are. If my comments came across as vitriol then I apologise. Anyway back to the announcement of an announcement! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
