Last week our models of Kustpilen (Rubber noses) SJ 1376 Christian IV (8751011~14) and KLT 1384 Herulen (8751021~4) finally arrived, and we have been keept busy with sending out orders to the resellers.
Eventhough the preorders were good, and we produced close to double amount, the selling has been far over all expectations. We have experiences that in this bit over one week, some shops has gotten 3 (!) deliveries to fullfill orders. We are so thankfull for this great support.

The backside of the medal is that some versions are already now close to sold out. It is the the SJ 1376 in DC and DC sound where there are only few pieces left on stock (AC and AC sound is still reasonable stock)

New catalouge

As a start of the season we – as usual – send out our new catalouge that will be covering the next year. Inside here was a few news that hasn’t earlier been published.

– new versions of our TMZ diesel
– DSB AU/BU/Buh passanger coach
– DSB IVM “coolingwan”
– SJ His sliding door wagon
– DVVO Laads army transport wan
– SJ Kö / Udg with open roof

The catalouge can be ordered and picked up free of charge at a Dekas reseller, or dowloaded by clicking here

Earlier this week we finally recieved our Tågkraft TMZ 1418 locos, and all preorders has been deliveried to our dealers. Should you local Dekas reseller not have any on stock, then dont worry – we still have locos on stock, ready for delivery.

The remaining of the TMZ locos will be sent from our factory in China early next week, and we expect to deliver out preorders on week 17.

After these locos have left the factory, the production line starts to work on the assembly of the “rubbernoses” and we will get back with more “fixed” delivery dates when the final assembly stage is reached (expected June 2024 but is estimated).

Intermodellbau Dortmund

This year we are participainting with a stand on Intermodellbau Dortmund. Ealieer years we been invited as visitor on Exacttrain stand, but this year we are there with our “own” stand, in joint with Arndt Spezial Modelle. Drop by and see our locos in operation and the samples of new coming products – we are to be find at Hall 4 Stand nr. 4.C10.

Last week we delivered out our latest series of DSB PF open wagons; one series of wagons with airpreassure system; 3 wagons with “peat fentch” – one handbrake, one airpreassure brake and one with brakehouse; and final both a rerun of the brakehouse wagon and a new number. The new brakehouse PFR is fitted with 4 blocks brakes, where previous delivered has been with 8 brakeblocks.

Together with the PF series, was also our IVO cheesewagon released. The wagon is based on our IV series, with the outside shelf holders added as etched details. This wagon is with Swedish transport doc holder, so also useful for traffic outside Denmark.

Besides the newly arrived items, we are continuing with the announced new items.

TMZ is in the final stage of production. Before the Chinese new year holiday all chassis where fully assembled, and when the factory gets back to work after this weekend, the final assembly of bodies and full loco is starting. We are hoping to be able to release the first locos just before the easter.

As soon as the TMZ is finished in production, the production of the SJ Y2 rubbernoses will begin.

The CO coaches we released in early summer 2023 is very close to be fully sold out – there are a few pcs left of the 876122 and 23, but they are soon gone. The follow up coach – DSB CL – is finished in design and we have uploaded artwork drawings to the product side. The tooling is on progress and we expect to show the first testshoots in April 2024.

The projest with insulated tank wagons and the SJ Ge/Gs is so far on schedule – both expected to be released over the summer.
