KR models situation

[Westcorkrailway]

Recently came to my attention that KR models. Who specialised in Niche British Railway Prototypes has appeared to have gone out of business. There company is listed as inactive and social media’s have been taken down. There might be some on here who have pre-orders with them (I saw a lot of people with Bullied Leaders on here when they came out). Hopefully they make a statement shortly on the fate of pre orders.

Yes lots on RMWEB to wade through.

I got the GT3 and Leader and are quite happy with the engine, Run very well from the outset, yes the lights on the GT3 did not work as they should and a 2nd run fixed that which annoyed me as it devalued my loco nor were the initial customer offered a fix. There is a workaround for the correct lights to be shown though so can be sorted. The leader also had a few issues, Wheels not portrayed properly and buffer beam not painted red were the main ones. TBH the wheels you can hardly see and the buffer beam took 15 mins to paint with an AK marker pen so no big deal.

After the DJM  and the APT mess I was a bit concerned to order anything before it came out after the Fell really and nothing really captured my interest so luckily I have not got any deposits in play. FOMO is a awful thing to have!

If it is the end its a shame as they did build some niche models that a lot of people wanted instead of endless class 66's.

Now do I really want a KR DD before they become unobtainable. £475 is a lot to shell out.
