"All I can say is that I have been transported back in time to my summer holidays in the mid seventies and I’m standing on Maisondieu Road looking at a BR blue class 26 quietly turning over in Elgin yard – more than likely that very loco as I copped it back then. Oh that sound…..
It really looks the part pulling your blue grey MK2s, and as that is the only stock I have which is of a quality high enough to have gained the right to be pulled by it, that’s all it will pull."

"Ever since I got 26004 I have been stunned as to how it looked. I have spent hours just looking at it sitting on the layout. It doesn't have to do anything, it just sits there looking absolutely right. Of course it does go, but I don't really care, I just like looking at it. This is probably the most realistic and accurate model of a Class 26 in any scale. I just love the cab side windows, the coal sector paint job, driver, handrails, snowploughs, correct bogie side frames, battery boxes- Are you hiding something from us, Chris? Have you got a minituriser in your workshop somewhere? "

Once again I am absolutely delighted with 56301. It is really superb in every way, the incredible detail, paint finish and chassis are all excellent. Even after so many years and so many models from you it is still a real thrill when a new, unique, loco arrives. It is a privilege to own CJM models which are in a different league to anything else that is available.

My new 59206 Pride of Ferrybridge arrived yesterday and is trundling - or should i say gliding - happily round my circuit as I type this letter. It is an immaculate little piece of craftsmanship and I delight in studying the detail. Never before on one of your models have I taken so much time admiring the under frame and bogeys; the extent of the detail and the incredibly realistic weathering is astonishing. 59206 has a very distinctive and attractive colour scheme and contrasts very nicely with the EWS or Loadhaul colours of my other CJM locos.
So thank you very much and congratulations on such a brilliant model. Your models are never far from my thoughts these days, with the screen saver on my computer. I must say, some of the models depicted are really very dirty, aren't they?

"I like the way you do business" "It is the combination of running and looks which sets this loco apart from any other. That cannot be beaten"

"Thank you for the CJM loco Class92 - well pleased with it and still admiring your spraying skills + transfers that are applied - 100% outstanding"

"In a word - STUNNING! Many thanks indeed and it looks absolutely superb hauling my rakes of HAA's. The haulage power of the Saturn chassis is incredible - I put over 50 HAA's behind it and it sailed away with ease."

"Brilliant"

"I am really at a loss for words to describe the marvelous workmanship - the detail - the perfection in the livery (not least the red stripe, evenly along all the coaches in the set) I even put the coaches under the magnifying lamp and noted the perfection in the white rose emblem and the coach numbers - large and small"

"I am in danger of running out of words to describe your locomotives. Superb springs to mind - As always it is the combination of each element, nameplate, number, colours etc, etc, that comes together to enhance the whole effect.

"Addiction - Well, you see, I was at this exhibition in Brighton in 1987 and there woz this geezer selling "N" gauge locos and he said why don't you try one? And it was rather good Well I thought I was man enough to be able to take it or leave it. I tried some of the less addictive stuff from F*r*i*sh but it left me with withdrawal symptoms and frustrated. The only problem now, is that the use of the new drug CJM leads to a reduction of one's LSD usage."
Neil Adams - 26/9/2001
"Certainly, the loco has been well worth waiting for. I'd seen photos in the press and in your brochure, but it didn't really prepare me for the sight of the real thing. Every detail that could be wished for in N Gauge is there, and the paint job is magnificent. If handsome is as handsome does, then this model has it all."
