JM Design February 2023 Announcement

[Mayner]

A (very) small number of wagons are currently in stock and available on our website https://jmdesignmodelrailways.com/

Models available include, CIE 20T Goods Brake, Bulk Grain Ranks Ireland No2, GSR/CIE Std Open wagon, LMA & GSWR/GSR/CIE planked vans.

Despite a number of promising test prints, I have been unable at this stage to identify a manufacturing partner capable of consistently producing SLA (resin) prints of our wagons to a similar standard of quality to our original manufacturing partner.

Currently I am working on the CAD work for a set of etched brass parts for the GSWR 2740 Gal tenders built for use with the 60 Class 4-4-0s which were sometimes coupled to 52 (D17) and 101 (J15) class locos used on long distance work and am open to expressions of interest in the Tender and possibly a set of parts for a 60 Class loco.

Good to see you're back in business. Can you please clarify if the prices shown as $ on the website are NZD prices or are indeed the Euro prices?

Settings changed so that prices for Irish, European, UK and US customers appear in the local currencies, excluding local sales taxes.

D'oh, missed out again!

[Andy Cundick]

Certainly interested in both loco and tender Andy

Me too unfortunately. Well John did say very limited supplies, though honestly had the pricing been clearer I'd have ordered in time. Hey ho, hopefully the supplier issue gets sorted out and these come back into Production in larger quantities. My interest was in the 20T Brake Van and have to say it looks a much finer model than the IFM alternative.

The brake vans are exquisite:

Is that a British version of a "Woolwich" I see there?

Much cheaper than the official Irish ones, like €40 or €50 vs. €150 or €200, and looks Irish-ish enough for me.

 

[jhb171achill]

I presume that’s a wartime livery….

Its near enough the right colour for GSR / CIE, though if you wanted to go that route all you need is a number on the cabside instead of the tender, and a grey smokebox. Certainly does look “Irish-ish”…..

Presumably you removed the smoke deflectors that the British versions had? 

[Galteemore]

They only had the deflectors later in life JB under SR management. Were delivered like that.

Ah, ok, didn’t know that.

[DJ Dangerous]

Bachmann do the SR's both with and without smoke deflectors.

P.S.: Every off-topic post is considered a promisory note to buy one of John's wagons when he gets rolling again...

SECR grey livery if I’m not mistaken.

Yup. If you open the photo and zoom in, you can see it written on the cabside.
