N Gauge Streamlined GWR Railcar Kickstarter project with DJ Models

REGP · September 02, 2014, 09:14:17 PM

Been looking at this ever since you announced it Mathew and wish you every success.

I think you are very adventurous in attempting this especially as you will effectively need 1000 advance orders.

Well I've counted my pennies taken DEEP breath and hit the pledge button, after all it is a GWR icon and I am after a shirtbutton version.

I look forward to receiving my reward in what around 18 months?

Have backed this as well. Really excited by this project!

DJ Models have unveiled the EP for their first locomotive, a 00 gauge J94 saddle tank. This helps to give an indication of the quality of work we will be able to expect on the Railcar.

Gosh that J94 looks good Matt.
D.J. keeps good links (P.R.) with modellers on here and other forums. The proof of the pudding is, in our case, how the model turns out.
If the models come up trumps and within a reasonable time of their expected arrival, he will be IMHO onto a sure winner.

Been holding off pledging as I have bought a hell of a lot this month. Sadly it's not looking good for reaching the target.

You wouldn't have to pay until the target amount is reached, Mick and nothing if it doesn't make it.

I agree that the target seems to be a way off but I'm I'm in and it would grand if it did come to fruition.

I'm not paid til after the due date, unfortunately.
I would love one, though.

Isn't that what credit cards are for?

Hello,

We are down to the last day for the Kickstarter for the N Gauge GWR Streamlined Railcar. We still have a way to go to reach the target and fund this project so if you have not already done so, please pledge now to try and get this iconic train into production

I really wish I could help with this project but as the pendolino project is on the horizon I can't afford to do both and the modern era is more my time.

It's a big shame as I would have liked one for a future project that keeps getting thought about.

I really Hope that this project does come off and you have a big surge in the last 24 hours.

Hi Matt

It would be great to see a big push in the last 24 hours.

Irrespective of how things end up I think the GW Railcar is a great prototype choice and it is a well put together proposal.

Regards

Roy

I have just doubled my pledge to two railcars, but the hurdle just looks too great, sad to say. If a miracle doesn't happen and the project fails, I hope it can be revisited if/when the concept of crowd funding is more established in railway modelling.

I just put my pledge in, but sadly it might not be enough.

mickjsg · October 24, 2014, 11:50:21 AM

Paid early this month, so that's me pledging too.

Karhedron · November 04, 2014, 10:15:57 AM

Well, the Kickstarter has finished without reaching its target alas. :'( I may try again in a couple of years time when Dave has some models out and people are satisfied with his quality. Also if any of the current Kick-starters get off the ground, it might give people a bit more confidence about the platform as a whole as a way of funding model railway development.

Thanks to everyone on here who supported the project, sorry we did not reach our target.
