Latest News on DCC

Hi All DCC Road Loco and Showman's builders,

With the first Kit so close to being despatched i can imagine you are all 'chomping at the bit' eagerly awaiting delivery so i thought i'd give you a little bit more of an appetiser by adding a Jpeg of how part of the design is looking and updating everyone with what else has been happening.

The production folder has now been issued and all the material has been ordered. All the steel has now been delivered with machining due to start soon. (I am sure Craig will add some photo's to the prodution part of the forum as soon as machining commences).

Additional to this the material for kit 2 has been ordered with Kit 3 and Kit 4 currently out for enquiry.

The order book is going very well with a total of 25 orders now placed. This is broken down in to 11 Road Loco's and 14 Showman's engines. An initial batch of only 30 in total is being manufactured which once you add the two we require for the 'control models' only leaves a further 3 available from batch one.

We also have an appointment with John Saunders the owner of Burrell Showman's 'Ex Mayor' on 17th November where Steve and I intend to spend the day taking detail photo's and researching his engine a little more in depth. Not to leave out the Road Loco customers we have also made contact with Mike Dreelan, the new owner of 'The President'. We are hoping to visit him and get some 'close ups' of his engine, again this should be around mid November. Once we have been to see both engines I'll add some photo's and let you all know how it went.

All the best

Dean

Steve and Dean

I know you may have only visited Stotfold yesterday and recently Blairs but I am really interested in see your pictures..

Please post them soon..

I plan to paint my loco as The President so any extra reference photos i have will come in very handy..


cheers

OOOOH! I wonder how many "president" style locos there will be, I was thinking of the same not only because it will mean touch ups will be easy. Still I suppose we wont all be at the same place together and there are often lots of Burrell Maroon agriculturals in the same rally.

Kev,

I was thinking exactly the same thing..
However with only a few colour variations to choose from it won't matter..

I WONDER IF ANYONE WILL DARE TO COPY "WAIT AND SEE"

Most i expect will be red/maroon maybe a few greens and blacks..

plus not everyone will line the same.

I was fortunate to bump into the man that painted the President in it's current livery at BSEPS and found out which paints he used..
interesting combination !?

It will be fun to see some of them together at the shows whatever the colour..
With the number been built it will be an amusing site outside the beer tent with a handful of showmans providing light...

be a few years yet thou..
