robbieb Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi guys I have been talking to Des in Studio Scale Models, I was interested in the sulzer kit. He says that if he gets 8 definite orders he will rerun them again for the reduced price of €75. I'm just posting this to see if I can drum up enough interest as I really want one Thanks Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshty Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) T'is the truth. Please note this is the same kit as before, but without the lighting rig. Edited November 12, 2015 by Weshty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Are there any on the site that we could see from the last batch to see how the resin body might turn out? The LED would be a welcome addition. What's the lightning rig? .... Or is that lighting, referring to the LED strip not being supplied with this batch?

GSR 800 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 This the lighting kit I believe. I doubt Des would put a lightning rod on an Aul B101, unless he found a new way to pick up electricity via the dark clouds in the sky...

Noel Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hornby class 55Pity - the Hornby's are not the greatest runners, not bad, but not good either. Is there a Bachmann chassis that fits as they are mostly all wheel drive, all wheel pickup with flywheels and centre drive chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR 800 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I presume the class 55(Deltic)chassis are a cut and shut job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I've yet to see anyone use des' lighting rig supplied with the kit, so wouldn't get excited about the "lightning rig" at all. The class 55 chassis is superb, unless you are running Kirley's Alpine Pass inclines. It's a nice slow runner too over points if you lube it up a wee bit. Rich. Edit - Peez o pizz doing a cut and shut on the 55, am preping a tutorial on it for a man in wickla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 On my workbench (don't ask which page)I have photos of the body from the first batch.I have photos of it on the Deeps layout as well from a while back. Some video of my machine with Hornby 55 Chassis is on YouTube as well-I will post up links tomorrow when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshty Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) For those who don't RTFM Please note this is the same kit as before, but without the lighting rig. To repeat, it is the SAME kit as the last time, but without the LED lights. Ergo, a few bob off (those LEDS were an utter pain to sort and pack in the kit and as Richie said very few installed them). The Class 55 was chosen because its wheelbase is the closest to the sulzer as it was a very short three axle wheelbase, and it is relatively cheap, being part of the Hornby Railroad range. And to reiterate that the kit includes a brass chassis so no need to cut and shut, just take out the bogies and use them on it. To keep the thread on track. 8 orders=rerun. Less than 8=no rerun.

If you want to see one in action have a look at Item #917 http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/524-Kirley-junction/page92 The Sulzer is in the video CIE Laminates at 1.37sec in.

Mayner Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Put me down for one pleeze Des. Always seemed to be one waiting at Island Bridge Junction, when I made the weekly Saturday morning pilgrimage on the 23 bus to Southern Model Railways and Monck Place in my early teens. Happy days!

DiveController Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The most interesting thing about this is now that it is available for purchase there are 10 orders. I can't help but wonder if keeping some level of stock on the shelves, however small, wouldn't help increase sales of Irish outline overall.

I have no inside knowledge of SSM's business operation, but... that involves a significant outlay in itself and obviously doesn't make economic sense, otherwise I'm sure Des would keep some in stock, as he he does with his etched kits.
