Kasper har lagt en opdatering om tingenes tilstand på sin hjemmeside. På engelsk*, men det meste vil være klart:

New items and delivery schedule

It is now been a while since we made an news post here at our website – our day-to-day news will be posted at our Facebook site, so please follow that to keep you updated.

In the late spring we have released our model of DSB CO passenger coach and they have been very well received – so well, that one of the item numbers (DK-876121) is close to sold out.
At the end of June our 2^nd run of the Swedish SJ Kö/Udg (DK-873208-11) and the tow sandtågswagons (DK-873212-13) arrived. I need to be completely honest and say that the sales have not reach my expectations – It might be due to the arrival at summertime.

We attended the Modell-Hobbby-Spiel fair in Leipzig, and at the same time released our newest catalogue, which is covering for the next year – until October 2024. The catalogue is both available for download here at our website, and as printed copy at our resellers (free).

Unfortunately we are still fighting with delays at our supplier in China, and production is still running late, even though it is much, much better than last year. So I really ask for you al to be patient even models are delayed, we are all trying the best to catch up.

Today the status on presented products are:

TMZ

(DK-875051x, 875052x, 875053x, 875054x)

We have decided to move this project to the first one to finish.

The locos are in massproduction – at the moment all injected parts are being prepared for spray painting. All locos will be shipped by air during December 2023, but at the moment it is still unclear if someone reach Denmark before xmess. I have asked the factory to make 2 shipment batches: 1^st with Vida, Tågkraft, TX logistic; and 2^nd with Swedtrac TMZ 1411.

DSB PFB & Peatwagons

(DK-873033~40)

To lower the preasure a bit on the production line, we got the offer to get help from “outside”, which we have used earlier and will use for these wagons too. The wagons are in production and expected to arrive late January to early February 2024.

Along with these is also a rerun of PFR with brake house and a new number.

DSB IVO cheesewagon

(DK-872119)

Will be produced together with the PFB etc and therefor to be released in February 2024.

SJ Y2 – rubbernoses

(DK-875101x, 2x)

Our supplier is expecting to deliver the first set just before the Chinese New year – so early February. But for now, it is still not final confirmed. The rest  will be finished assembled after Chinese New Year, to delivery in March 2024.

SJ Hbis

(DK-872211~13)

These wagons have been pushed back to give more space for the TMZ and Y2, so all parts will be prepared before Chinese new year, and finished after. So, I expect release in March/Arpil 2024

TWA-800B rerun + new numbers

(DK-873101~7)

As with the SJ Hbis, this production has been pushed back. We have used the time to make some tooling adjustment, so the cars will become even better. The cars will be produced in the spring, and to be released on April 2024.

The rest of new items, more updates will come when samples are approved, but expected releases will be:

SJ Ge etc  Q2 2024

Tankwagons: Q2 2024

TMX & MX (Nohabs): Q2/3 2024

DSB CL coaches: Q3 2024

*  Stavefejlen i det engelske ord for jul er sjov. Julen kan nogle gange være en rodet tid.

DF Modeltog har netop meddelt i en mailing, at deres butik åbner for første gang i Sorø (Frederiksbergvej 20) næste onsdag (27/12) og Kasper Bang vil være til stede den dag. Kasper vil vise den første prøvemodel (uden maling) af IC3.

mvh,
Gert
