RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted September 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2019 It's not a time frame that I model, but still taking an interest in the current railway I am thoroughly confused as to what exactly is being manufactured. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like KR models who have commissioned the CADs then ? Naively, I always thought the design process started by selecting an exact prototype based on where it was used and for how long etc so that its desirability can be estimated 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can confirm that it is the IQA wagon and not the well type KUA wagon. But, Lets hope they get the right number on GT3. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted October 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2019 Ran out of time at GETS to ask but just wondered if there was any news on whether KR Models have worked out what wagon they are making (They said on Facebook a few weeks ago they were going to ask DRS !?!)

Shoey Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 A couple of videos here. Not mine I may add, just some I have come across whilst browsing through YouTube. Hopefully there will be some light shed upon which wagon(s) will be produced in the not so distant future. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2019 ive just bought one of the HO ltd ed wagons off ebay (as seen on the last page), having a look at the pics if i modify the covers to lose the vented top they wont look far off the older UK spec wagons, that and a bit of fine detailing such as white handrails, yellow lifting lugs and new OHLE flashes etc and i recon i can pass it off for a UK wagon, rule 1 applies of course 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Not Captain Kernow Posted October 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2019 Has anyone else received this email? Dear Sir/Madam, It is with deep regret that we have to return your full payment as we cannot complete the IQA flask wagon due to some technical issues. If we fix the issues then we will have it up for sale again. We hope that you re-order. Kind Regards Michael Revell Research Manager KR Models 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazjones1711 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) KR models motto ' we dare to build ' ..........maybe not then , maybe the technical issues are the not knowing what they are exactly going to model , not to difficult it's either a IQA or a KUA!

Shed light - surely not a pun!? Clearly the flask(s) in both videos is the KUA MODA 95770/71 and not the IQA to be produced by KR Models. Anyway an academic argument now, as the IQA is cancelled. A bizarre choice and glad it is over. Hopefully someone is encouraged to bring to market the far more geographically spread (and still in use) KUA! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Markwj Posted October 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2019 I think credit for pulling the plug if the project is not viable before costs mount up. However I think it's a little embarrassing when it was this announcement which was the subject of an announcement of an announcement involving a countdown clock and being asked on Facebook 'if we are getting excited yet' so great fanfare now damp squib. Think I have deja vue! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Colin on this. Assuming that KRM has more integrity than DJM (and the honesty in the update as well as the prompt refund suggest so), there's no reason to suggest that KRM is robbing Peter to pay Paul. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted October 30, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2019 Any business prices in stuff like technical dead ends, cost of credit, late payment, lost bids, wastage and 1001 other things that cost money and have to be paid by someone into their pricing model. So I think it a bit unfair to beat up KRM on that one. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
