Week Starting 06/10/2012
 
Traction Motors
 
This past week we filled all outstanding RP25/88 40” traction motor back orders.  We have another 15 P87 40” traction motors going out tomorrow.  A second batch of P87 is in progress to catch up.  
 
As of this point, we have 11 RP25/88 40” traction motors in stock which can go out immediately.
 
In July we will start releasing new wheel variations.  Please get your orders in now so we can start assembly.  
 
Assembly on the traction motors is done in house and takes high precision so the orders will ship as the inventory is built up.
 
 
New additions including UK variations are now posted.
 
On-site Micron Tooling & Machining
 
Our Datron M7 HP is being loaded onto a ship from Germany on the 22nd of June.  This moves up our integration to early July.  All of our new products and OEM services will commence the second week of July.  
 
We have been getting a lot of interest in our OEM services, if you have any needs, contact us.
 
Truck Progress
 
Our Blomberg & HTC side-frame mould is completed.  The images below show the new configuration.  The samples here are before final cleanup and hand polishing have been wrapped up so there are some part lines seen that will be removed.  The changes remove the moulded on journal liner detail and also open up the under-side of the side-frame to accept scale spring detail on the journals yet keep the sprung suspension.
 
 
At this point, we just need to complete the added on details.  Keep in mind we have both Normal and Triple Clasp options for the HTC truck included in the purchase and both B and M versions in the Blomberg trucks.  The truck purchase if powered includes all of the details for two complete trucks and traction motors for each axle.
 
This summer we will be doing some R&D to release both the Flexicoil and AAR type trucks together.
 
HTC
 
 
Blomberg
 
 
Electronics
 
The Blomberg and HTC based drives were sent out to the programmer this week.  We will have some video later this week to show DCC operation.
 
Please get your orders in for the electronic components now.  We are aiming to start a production run at the end of the month but without sales over the next two weeks, we can’t do any production until later.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thank you for the support, keep in mind the Sound MCU system is also going to be ready on the 28th.
 
All the best,

28" HO wheels

Are you saying the EXISTING motor housing and gears has track clearance for smaller 28" HO wheels?

Do you have some dimensioned external profile drawings?

So we could plan how to fit them into other models? The existing 3D CAD pictures don't show what position and how much space you'd need for underfloor use with 28" wheels.

Andy, Here is a link to the

Andy,

Here is a link to the current traction motors schematics.  New ones will be posted in a few weeks for the new wheel sizes.

I will have the new drawings include something for center of axle to top of casing for building a floor above them.

All of which will be ready to ship in 3 - 4 weeks for the wheels, new heat sinks for the traction motors are also being done so we can speed up shipments on those too.  We're moving to a machined heat sink as opposed to a die cast one.

Thanks,

I ordered  and paid for 500

I ordered  and paid for 500 worth of product including everything he claims above that he is shipping about 16 months ago and have hardly received anything. I ordered two complete engine, a gp and an sd.  So far I have got the frame for one the walkway tread for the other and some solder for cables and a couple other echted things.  I only got that much because after waiting two months with no word form him after giving him my money, I emailed him.  Then after waiting another 3-4 months I ask for a refund.  He agreed to give me a refund about a year ago and then went back on his word and said we wouldn't.  Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Order at your own risk.  He has been saying for 16 months that "we will be shipping soon".  He has also quite responding to my e-mails and phone calls.
