DJM UPDATE

Djmodels has used the launch of its crowdfunded HUO hopper wagon and West Coast’s crowdfunded APT-P (MR243) as an opportunity to bring everyone up to date with where its range of locomotives are in the development and manufacturing process. DJM launched in the autumn of 2013 with an initial line-up of six locomotives in ‘N’, ‘OO’ and ‘O’, followed by a further three a year later. It has since added several popular subjects to its ranks, most notably the GWR ‘King’ in ‘N’ and the Class 92 electric in both ‘N’ and ‘OO’. Here’s the full breakdown: ◆ ‘OO’ gauge Class 92: CAD complete, awaiting tooling to start.

◆ ‘OO’ gauge Class 74: CAD complete. Predicted Q3 2018 release.

◆ ‘OO’ gauge Hudswell Clarke 0‑6‑0ST: CAD under way. Q4 2018 or Q1 2019 release.

◆ ‘N’ gauge GWR ‘King’ 4‑6‑0: CAD under way.

◆ ‘N’ gauge Class 17 Bo‑bo: Engineering prototype being checked. Production could commence Q2/Q3 2018.

◆ ‘N’ gauge Class 92 Co‑co: Ready to tool, released expected Q2‑Q3 2018.

◆ ‘N’ gauge Class 23 Bo‑bo: Ready to tool, awaiting funding from Class 17. Anticipated Q3 2018 release.

◆ ‘N’ gauge Hunslet ‘Austerity’ 0‑6‑0ST: CAD complete, will follow Class 23 into tooling.

◆ ‘N’ gauge GWR ‘63XX’ 2‑6‑0: CAD progressing.

◆ ‘N’ gauge Hudswell Clarke 0‑6‑0ST: CAD progressing. Scheduled for tooling early 2019.

◆ ‘N’ gauge LNER ‘Q6’ 0‑8‑0: Early CAD stage. Possible Q2 2019 release.

◆ ‘O’ gauge Hunslet ‘Austerity’ 0‑6‑0ST: CAD complete, awaiting funds to be released for tooling.
