Dapol Dave is leaving

[OwL]

What an odd photo on the homepage, looks like he was leaning on something which has been edited out! 

It looks like he's got an invisible midget locked in a wrestling move called the 'Full Nelson'

Former WWF and current WWE fans will know what I mean

Dave Jones is taking on a tall order but good luck to him though. How many of us has dreamed of owning our model railway manufacturer.

But I had to read his web page twice as I think he means about after sales service and stuff, I can't see how 1 man can compete with bachfar with the manufacturing side of things. Also I'm more than happy with my last 2 purchases of Graham Farish locos so I can't see how things can be improved.

I'm certainly no expert though but I will be following DJ Models

Ps He doesn't mention the N Gauge Forum but RMweb whoever they are

Or it may all be a hoax

RMweb? I have visited that forum many times and I  personally fail to see the fascination??
Run by a dictator whom is a commercially controlled puppet. Pretty grim part of the web in my books........
Good luck to ExDapol Dave if he's gonna ply his new found company there.......

I Doubt it Alan. April the 1st has already passed!

Hi all,

Might of been mentioned as this topic on two threads but I think DJ Models is a bad idea for a name. Put ' trains' in there somewhere.

If you tried to access LS Models site (who do N gauge Belgian and French stuff) there are WARNINGS as it is also some Romanian under age sex site.

DJ Models !

The NGS site was blocked by the filters at work at one time - for sexualy content

Yep, NGF is blocked on our work firewall too, no idea why!

No that's not it, they're an insurance company, a good proportion of business is done on the golf course!

Most of the pages on that site seem to return errors, clearly still a work in progress, who's the sleuth who uncovered it!?

Hope Mr. Jones has a sense of humour or he'll be sticking with rmWEB (whatever that is! ) and wouldn't go to the best site ever with a bargepole!

Don't forget that Dave Jones has been here once before, before he joined Dapol he had a company called N'thusiast Resprays, and he supplied kits as well as doing his resprays. One of his kits was a Tamper, which actually was very good and I hope he re-releases this as I think that is one model that is very sorely missed in British N, although Bachmann do/did produce one in HO, I wonder if they would consider shrinking it to 1:148

Yep, a very good but fairly complex kit, although I was under the impression that Bernard (of TPM) did the design work for it. I never got mine completely finished and must dig it out and do so;

I think someone needs to invite Dave to post here.

I lurk on RMWEB and the following is an extract of a post he made there;

"I have big exciting plans now which will be announced on Saturday 6th September at the TINGS show at Leamington, and on /in the media and forums on that day."

I confess that I'm a frequent visitor to that site also. But what I can't get my head round is the fact that NGF is specifically dedicated and has a huge following with N Gauge, in fact probably more so than RM.

Being overlooked by key people employed at these large companies is very poor PR!
