RTR GT3 from KRM Models

Dalek · April 13, 2020, 04:48:23 PM

As spotted on a post by KRM models on facebook there is going to be a second run of these in OO and he is also retaking expressions of interest in N gauge although i don't see where to sign up for that on his website ?

I have asked on Facebook for clarification of a link to sign up for this.

They've not delivered the first batch yet have they?! Bit weird to announce a second run.

It does seem rather strange

I'm guessing the talk of a second run is down to the whole oddity that the order book closed for the first run while there was nothing more than CAD's available and a decision on the actual mechanism was still to be confirmed.

Then come Warley and theres an actual physical EP sample to see and suddendly more people are actually interested oddly enough but they can't order....hence second run (maybe).

From watching the various threads over on RMWeb it strikes me that KRModels are being a little blind to the market after the whole DJModels failure.

The expression of interest for the GT3 in N Gauge is now available on the KR Models webpage now.

Here is a link to it https://www.krmodels.co.uk/collections/n-gauge/products/gt3-n-gauge

I have no connection with this company but would like a GT3 hence why i'm pointing this out, we are getting a second chance, spead the word !!!

Agreed, the whole thing is/was pretty bizarre. They've literally only just confirmed what colour it's going to be as well. I think I'd definitely wait until I'd delivered something before inviting a second run!

Anyway, he's clearly starting out, as long as he delivers then I wish him well!

Simply not one for me, neither is the King or Fell, but they have to start somewhere and I wish their projects and business model every success.

Now if they had got their hands on the Clayton tooling I would have been in for three no problem...

Definitely a rule 1 purchase, but if there is any chance of this coming off, I am there - I want one! expression of interest registered

I had an email from KR models today about an update on their progress....it was all in OO scale.

Then they announced a video (like Revolution).

Perhaps there will be an N gauge announcement then....

I think they have dropped all N gauge.

Richard Taylor · November 15, 2020, 08:46:50 PM

I'm a bit lost now. Have KR actually produced and delivered any models yet? I assume that the OO GT3 would be the first to be seen?

But yes, my impression is that we'll be waiting a long time for anything in N from KR now that they've missed the boat with the Shark brake, which would have been a relatively easy win for a new entrant to British N. I can't help feeling that KR's strategy of going for prototypes of which only one ever existed isn't the way to get enough sales to support them longer-term. Certainly in N, where there is less of a collectors' market.

Ah well, time will tell. Hope I'm wrong.

They've not yet delivered anything. The OO GT3 will be first as you say, due imminently, they're vague, presumably for all the same reasons everyone doesn't know when stuff will arrive!

The N gauge page is back on the website and they are advertising in the Society magazine that I just received.
