Hi all
?
Having had a few problems with my own
computer I have missed out on a few subjects and this one about 014 models and
motors has me scratching my head can some one on here give me some idea of what
is wanted motor wise, i.e.?size, power output, etc.
?
I would have thought there must be other
motors out there that can be used as replacements?
?
?
Regards

Motor issue is a big problem most standard and NG loco apart from RTR use
Mashima motors. We are producing our last 7mm standard gauge locomotives with
them this month. After this point we are going to have to source motors then
hopefully adapt our locomotives accordingly, if not it's the end of the line
for our and most other loco kits.
The time spent doing this has stopped me doing any
modelling for my self. I was hoping to have started my 0-14 layout this year
but there we go.

I think (looking at the news page) that the problem has been sourcing the
Mashima motors that most of the loco kits are designed around. These motors
are no longer being made and I believe the stock has been sold off so they
will become increasingly difficult to find, which will impact on the
availability of kits from a number of manufacturers until replacements can
be sorted out,

Does anyone know what the
position regarding KBscale?
Most of the items on their
webpage are marked as "Temporarily n/a" (not available) and there
have been only two new items on the "News" page since November 2014! Also
he states he has no plans to attend any exhibitions!
Is this company shutting down?
