JSpencer Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 You have other things that happen. Electrical faints in blanking plugs might not show themselves until several hours later. Too much grease will not show up right away but can harden to make the model lumpy later. Oil can evaporate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, however, get a good proportion of them. On the other hand a regime of NO inspection and testing weeds out no faults...... Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted April 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hi Folks, Does anyone have any experience of dropping out the wheelset? It's nothing serious, but I'd like to experiment with e-clips on the front & trailing axles. Many thanks in advance. Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as dropping out a wheel set with these models I'm afraid. It is more like remove the split chassis block from the surrounding plastic. If you get that far then you can either decide to add your "clips" with the wheels in situ on the chassis or unplug each metal wheel part from the centre nylon gear and axle.

If you get that far then you can either decide to add your "clips" with the wheels in situ on the chassis or unplug each metal wheel part from the centre nylon gear and axle. It would appear then, that I need to make a special tool, which will allow me to install a clip, in behind the wheel. Hmmm. Although I'm happy with the model overall, I'd like to cut down on the sideplay. Hopefully, by inserting clips on the leading & trailing sets, and leaving the centre drivers 'as is', It will settle down quite nicely. Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have not found side play to cause annoying wonky running on my pair. If anything I find these chassis are few too stiff. The side rods, being one piece means that the side play is not really exploited even on curves, which can help to derail it going forwards at some transition points on super elevated track work. Don,t use too much oil as that will eventually get into the bearing pickups, making running a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted May 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2017 In April, I decided to splurge and buy the yellow austerity. An order was duly placed and the tanky arrived. However when I opened it, the front handrail was missing, so I sent it back for a replacement. Hattons dispatched another yellow austerity. I was a little disappointed that the same thing had happened again. It would appear that the packing at the front can knock it off in transit: At least this time, the handrail was in the box. Because it's a minor fix and not too difficult to do, I'll just get on and fix it myself rather than playing parcel ping-pong, but I thought it was worth raising in case the packaging needs to be adjusted.

Richie Kynaston Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 A question for Dave, as the OO gauge versions are now out, is there an update on the timescales for the O gauge version? I see Hattons are still listing it as being available for pre-order so im assuming its not been shelved. I may have missed something on a post, and apologies if I have, just wondered if there was an update at all... Richie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hi everyone, Just a quick press release for today....... With the success of the OO gauge J94 model released late in 2016, it is time to announce more liveries on this model over the next 12 months. These models are available to order from your stockist over the coming week or so, but will be a staggered delivery over the next year. Artwork is currently being finalised and i will show it here and on other forums when i am totally happy with it. Due to market forces, including shipping, Chinese price rises over the last few years for labour and raw product, these models now have an RRP of £104.95 each.

Porcy Mane Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Ooh! DJMOOJ94-008 NCB #69 sounds interesting from my perspective. Will it be modelled with it's distinctive kist on the LH running plate and it's non standard 12 spoke wheels? Will the chimney be the post May 1964 gas producer type or pre December 63 standard? Quastions? questions.... P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I've repeatedly said, both on here, on me web site and at shows, that the O gauge will come further down the (excuse the pun) line than the J94 and N gauge items. I've made that no secret, and so far I hope I've pretty much kept to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
