David Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Hi Guys, The future projects more or less decided on are below. Feel free to debate. All models will be RTR and some will appear as kits. Freight wagons(types still to be decided on) 22000 ICR Park Royal RPSI Steam loco(to be decided on which one) Another railcar(either 2700 or 2800) Quote
Killucan2 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Hay! We forgot about the 29000,would there be interest in them? Quote
Garfield Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Hi David, I seem to remember you sounding out interest in an RTR/kit ammonia wagon and barrier wagon. Any developments there? Quote
David Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 I knew there was something we forgot! BTW, the above releases are not necessarily in order of release. Quote
David Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 @Garfield, It turns out that Weshty is doing it so we're not standing on each others shoes! David Quote
David Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 The initial freight stock will almost certainly be of the 4 wheel modern variety before I have the balls to venture into doing bogie freight but you never know. Hopefully this discussion will help to prioritize the order of things to come. I'm still very open to persuasion lads! Quote
ttc0169 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Personally David I'd be interested in a 2700 railcar and a Mk4 control car/DVT or even an IE inspection car-e.g no's 721, 722 or 723-(with interior detail and figures and lights of course). Quote
David Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 2700 is a strong possibility. Whether or not I consider a mk4 or not will depend on the success of the De Dietrichs when you consider that there are an almost identical project from a design point of view. Have you any photos/drawings of those inspection cars? Quote
Killucan2 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Inspection car,never taught of that good one Noel,keep him busy a bit longer! Mark.. Quote
ttc0169 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Have you any photos/drawings of those inspection cars? That can easilly be arranged.... Quote
David Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 Arrange it so! I'll seriously consider that. It would be nice to do a relatively simple project squeezed in with all the other ones. Quote
Warbonnet Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 A rtr wagon would be lovely. I like passenger stock but freight is always more interesting IMHO. Quote
RedRich Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 The initial freight stock will almost certainly be of the 4 wheel modern variety before I have the balls to venture into doing bogie freight but you never know. Hopefully this discussion will help to prioritize the order of things to come. I'm still very open to persuasion lads! Dave I imagine you could utilize the chassis for the 4 wheel 20 foot wagons for cement, bagged cement, beet, ballast etc. A 22 foot 6 inch 12 foot wheel base wagon with outside w irons would be nice for 20 foot containers, Guiness kegs, weed spray train (older type) etc. A decent chassis for a 30t brake van would compliment the SSM kit. If they are easily adaptable for 21mm then all the better. As much as I hate to say it (because they replaced my beloved Cravens) a 2700 would be nice for my layout and the period I am modelling.

RedRich Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 A rtr wagon would be lovely. I like passenger stock but freight is always more interesting IMHO. Fran there is a seriously big gap in the market for freight models since MIR ceased production. I am certain that any model that Dave would produce would be a quality piece of work, judging by what he has already produced. Rich, Quote
Warbonnet Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Dead right Rich, a lot of people missed the boat with MIR, myself included. Would nothing more than a nice string of bubbles behind my 141s or similar. Quote
BosKonay Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 As has been said above, the same 20' flat master can be used to produce a wide range of wagons, from the basic flat itself, through to beet, cement, asahi and more... Quote
Killucan2 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 A Dart....how many would u sell,it would be a very small market not everyone's cup of tea. Mark Quote

Hunslet 102 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Hi Guys, The future projects more or less decided on are below. Feel free to debate. All models will be RTR and some will appear as kits. Freight wagons(types still to be decided on) 22000 ICR Park Royal RPSI Steam loco(to be decided on which one) Another railcar(either 2700 or 2800) Well guys,a year on,lets update this future projects/wish list with what we are still yearning for. I would still love to see bubbles first and foremost,but a pucker A and C class would really be top of the list. Quote
ttc0169 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 An A class in Supertrain livery with working headlights and marker lights along with four Park royal coaches fitted with interior lighting would be top of my wish list, As for some freight wagons then the bogie fertiliser wagons and the Ballina-Foynes coal and oil two axle wagons would also be great, They would all look great behind the A class. Quote
David Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 We have decided to proceed with the RPSI/DSER loco 461. The cement bubble is also being worked on at the moment. I expect development of 461 to take some time mainly due to having to complete orders for existing models. I've been asked many times about doing and A/C class loco and it looks more and more likely that we will do this after the 461 project. Keep the suggestions coming. They are much appreciated and seriously considered! Quote

David Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 The boiler will be a brass tube so no rolling required! Quote
Warbonnet Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 The boiler will be a brass tube so no rolling required! Perfect! Thanks for getting back to me Dave. Happy to help with some instructional writing if needs be. If you do go down the road of A and C class in the distant future please please please go for a top notch drive system, ala like you did with the 2600s. No motor bogies Quote

We'd probably design it to accept either a budget motor bogie chassis or a top end chassis depending on user's preference. Quote
Garfield Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Would definitely be interested in some Metro Vicks Quote
heirflick Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 great news on the metros david- stick me down as committed to a few of each class! Quote
Railer Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Dave, are you still making 2600s, if so how much are they RTR? I would definitely be interested in two A class RTR. Quote
scahalane Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Would definitely be interested in a couple of a-class's:tumbsup: Quote
David Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Dave, are you still making 2600s, if so how much are they RTR? I would definitely be interested in two A class RTR. Hi Railer, The 2600s are still available. I've sent you a PM David Quote
David Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Looks like there's a fair few of you looking for the Metrovics Quote
Shinkansen Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Would love to see what you guys come up with regarding the A-class. Whatever or when ever it comes about it'll be top drawer The A-class seems like a strange ommision from the Paddy Murphy stable! My own personal request for a future project for D&M would be an ICR 22000. When I do get to do a bit of rail travel I always enjoy heading up to Dublin on the real thing. Here's what I'm thinking.... Resin cast nose mated to a brass etched body, all sitting on a Bachmann Virgin Voyager chassis. Available in 3 and 6 car sets.... What ya reckon? Do-able perhaps as a potential future project? Tom. Quote
