What 2021 will bring

2020 overview

Well, 2020 was an interesting year in all aspects of day to day life. People say this is the new norm. We hope not as it has delivered some new challenges with everything that everyone has to do to get through life. That being said in our industry there have been new challenges to deal with too. We are handing these as they arise.

Many thanks for sticking with us throughout. We have been hard at work in the background working on new products and completing existing products.

Consett Iron Ore Wagon

The Consett Iron Ore Wagon is now ready to order. Demand for this wagon has been very strong, and there is only 12% of the allocation left available, and we expect this to sell out fast. We will be stopping the instalment plan by the end of January if we haven't sold out of all the allocation before then.

The wagon is available in either a 3 car pack or the full 9 car rake. You can also choose to purchase them either with or without an ore load. These are currently only available in OO, but the expression of interest page is still open for N and O gauges.

We will have revised samples to show soon, and we should have details on the load drawings too.

English Electric - GT3

It has finally happened. We have the shipment en-route to the UK warehouse for distribution. We are aware there may be possible delays with customs as they are short staffed right now because of the covid-19 restrictions, but we will keep you posted when we know more.

We will keep you posted when the container arrives at the warehouse.

YouTube GT3 Test running with sound

We are now getting a lot of interest in a 2nd production run. The link for new customers is below.

THE FELL

The 2nd EP sample will arrive soon so we will do some more track testing and examine the model to see if everything is correct before we go to production. Sales have been very strong and the order book is still open for all those who still want one. Please remember we only make enough to cover orders.

Once it's gone, it's gone.

Clayton DHP1

We have not one but two new projects to announce. This lock down has kept us busy with getting the projects out there. The first is the Clayton DHP1.

It was a demonstrator ordered by Rolls Royce to showcase their engines and hydraulic transmission, with help from Col Fell of 10100 Fell Loco fame. Clayton modified the Class 17 drawings to suit the requirement as they were designed around the same time, although the 17 was about 4 feet longer but the general layout was identical, testing didn't go to plan and it was soon relegated to works shunter for the final 2 Class 17's being built (the 2 with Rolls Royce engines).

The expression of interest is now open at Clayton DHP1

SR The leader

We will be announcing the opening of the order book soon, now that we have the plans and have started work on the CAD Drawings.

With the response that we have received so far with our initial announcement that we are making the Leader, it has been overwhelming. We can reveal that we will be offering it in both the prototype grey and BR Black early crest liveries. It will be available in DCC ready, DCC Fitted and DCC Sound.

Keep those suggestions coming.

If you have any suggestions for models or your own personal wish list of models you want to see, please email michael@krmodels.co.uk and we will take it into consideration. We do take every suggestion seriously, so please don't be shy.

We have just completed 3 days getting plans and drawings on a variety of potential new models so we will be able to bring you some on a lot of customers wish lists.
