Kustpilen in the shops and new catalouge

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

TMZ 1418 on stock & Intermodellbau Dortmund

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.

PFB, IVO and peat wagons in the shops

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.

IBAB TMZ – good start in the year of the horse

A new model railway year has begun, and in the Chinese calendre it is the year of the Horses, which is probably very descriptive of how the year looks

2025 went as it went. Like all our colleagues, we experienced that 2025 was a year of decline in revenue compared to 2024. Although we received more products than the year before, we went down by about 25% (!) in revenue (more factuel around 1.7 million kroner) – and we coudl feel it. There was a lot of stock in the warehouse, both physically, but also on a tight economy.

The nearly 2 months that have passed since new year, have shown a very positive outlook for the future – sales have picked up again, and I am very grateful for that. Especially since not only did our IBAB TMZ 1421 sell out in less than two days, but also that many of our stock items are starting to move, and our shelves are becoming thinner.

However, 2025 made room for preparing for 2026, as well as figuring out what to focus on in the years ahead. And a number of changes have already been made, some of which have happened and others will happen during the year. The very practical one is that we have reduced the number of pieces a little, and are running it closer to pre-orders.

One of the things that is happening is that we are going to assess how many fairs we participate in and where – to be honest, I don’t have many free weekends a year to have a private life. That is why I have decided to finally drop the Hobbymeess in Rødovre. In Denmark we participate in DMJU Model Train for all – and as you can see on our “meet us at” we are inviting you to “Model Train in the Province” on August 22 in Korsør at our place – but more details about this will follow later. We will though be more visible on the Europeans fair.

We are in full swing designing new models, and already announced models are well underway. We currently expect:

Tågab, TGOJ, Railcare TMZ – end March 2026
SJ Lpns timber wagon – May 2026
DSB CPE coach– Juni 2026
G322B shunter (MK) – Juli/Aug 2026
DSB AU/Buh coach – Q4 2026
DSB Kbs open wan – Q4 2026

We are introduce a few new products at the Intermodellbau in Dortmund, and as usual, our main catalog will be released in the fall.

TMZ in the shops, coming releases

This week we have recieved our TX logistik TMZ 1422 locos, which has now been shipped to the shops who preordered. These locos unfortunally got a bit delayed, due to a paiting error we had to fix, before delivery was ready. .
