I am busy casting both Dr. Gordon's and the Vicksburg Building
kits. The first group will go out next week with weekly shipments
thereafter until all are done. The decals have come in and are
going to make Dr. G's really nice!

I am starting work on the Assay Office patterns and, at last, the
drawings for the O scale 107's! Both should make it out by the
first of the year (fingers crossed!).

The Assay Office will have full wall decals or murals, if you will,
on both sides as well as the Assay sign. The price is the same
as Dr. G's @ $39.95 plus post. Should be up on the web site
soon as well as a photo or two of Dr. G's pilot model. The Assay
Office has a slightly smaller foot print than Dr. G's, but the
foundation is deeper for a hillside.

All for now. Back to the dungeon to cast.

Tom

and when can we expect the HO 107's? They were promised last June?

John,
After the O scale ones. Patterns still need to be done for those.
For many reasons things don't necessarily go in order. With only
one worker (me) trying to make a go of it, the schedule must be
shuffled some so I don't go completely "sane". There would go
the creativity!


Cheers,
Tom

I understand that. But you always seem to list everything coming but
those. And they keep getting pushed back for new projects.

I know John, but something has to be pushed back. If not one,
then another. The reason for the HO 107's is the plans and
instructions are not done yet. They will use the same as the O
scale, and, the O scale is all cast already. Not so for the HO.
They will get there, but a lot later than I had hoped.

Les.........To find out what its really worth put it on the home
shopping network for men.........ebay...........there is quite a few
Ho and O scale yorke kits for sale on there right now. Just keep
watching and sooner or later one of whatever you have will show up.
Right now prices seem to be very high and just like the stock market
prices ebb and flo.
Just tonight an Ho yorke ""chinese laundry"" showed up and
a "bordello" showed up ...................madmike

Dave,
First, I will be more than happy to refund your deposit if that is
what you desire. Some kits just seem to have more problems
than others and these roll over into other kits. It can't be helped in
a one person operation. The kits will be done.

The reason for a nonrefundable deposit is so I know how many
kits to run. I have announced kits before and started production
only to receive too few orders to make it worth doing. Some of the
Rollin' Stock in On30 for example. I need to know firm orders to
be able to plan everything.


Tom

I think for the benefit of all the newer guys, this isn't your typical
product or commercial business.

Yorke Kits has been around since the 1970's, and I've built almost every HO
version Tom created.  By all rights, Tom should have moved on to just
enjoying his own handiwork long ago, but has chosen to share his talent
still on a limited, almost custom basis with those fortunate to have found
this little Yahoo list, and at prices we can afford.

There are no equals to Yorke Kits, and when Tom decides it just isn't worth
it anymore, a great resource will be lost.  He probably covers expenses and
makes maybe $1 an hour on this endeavor.

So, my advice is to lighten up & relax, Tom is as straight & true as they
come.  I've never met the gentleman, but in all my dealings with Tom by mail
and such over the years, he has always come though.  If you really have to
have something right now, there's ebay at overly inflated prices, or I
recommend Downtown Deco kits as they are close (a distant second).

Best of luck,

To All,



When you are a small manufacturer doing kits, it is very tough to gauge the
market on whether or not a kit will sell.  I work with small manufacturers
and it is a crap shoot on every kit.  Some of the smaller manufacturers are
a bit more successful than others.  Many of the successful ones do one kit a
year and spend anywhere from 6-9 months doing so.  Others have several
people working on the kits and take from 3 to 6 months for a release.  Then
there are others who are a one man show, such as Tom Yorke, who is producing
many kits as STOCK products and not just the limited run kit.  Keeping an
inventory of anywhere from 15 to 20 kits and developing new products in
multiple scales is a major undertaking for any manufacturer or modeler.  I
know that Tom is doing his best to stick to his plans on when a kit is to be
released but sometimes there are factors that they can control but more
often factors that they have no control over.  If anyone on the list can do
a better job, than try.  My closest friend was a small kit manufacturer at
one time in the past and he swore that once the kits were gone, he was never
to do it again.  The amount of work was unbearable and the hobby was no
longer fun.  We all need to give Tom credit for staying in the business for
close to 30 years and for staying dedicated to creating the best kits
possible.  Enough said.



Frank Bernard



[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi all:
I have to second Tom on this point. A craftsman type
of kit, structure or whatever, with a small audience
needs to be pre-subscribed by enough to 1)cover the
cost and 2) make a profit; IE make it worth doing.
Therefor, some type of deposit system is necessary,
including making that deposit not refundable just to
make sure the costs get covered.  This goes for just
about any kit that requires development time, tooling
costs and research to get it correct.  Any kit sitting
on the shelf makes no money and doesn't contribute to
developing more.
Tom mentioned the On30 car kits and that is a real
point. It seems that unless there is a collectible
market, where price is no object, we need to plan on
what we build (produce). I'm going through that now
with an Sn3 project and as Tom points out, put the
time available into the project that will produce the
most benefit to both the producer and the
modeler(buyer). So something has to wait. Just
business and good business or we won't get anything
from Tom as he won't be in business.
My 2 cents, John Vivian

Thanks RJ and Frank. Guess I couldn't have said it better. I hate
to waste group time and space on explanations and excuses.
You guys don't want to read that. You want your kits. I am working
as fast as I can. Even worked straight through Thanksgiving
week end! I am trying to build my own little Gn15 system, but I
haven't had much time for it lately. Of course, I do get to keep the
pilot models though!

If I were planning this business, I wouldn't be doing it this way.
But, there isn't a choice. It just needs to be done as best I can.


Thanks RJ and Frank!

Tom

Fellow Members-
I began writing a post last night, similar to RJ and Frank's, but
didn't post it because I thought it wasn't my place to defend Tom.
Now that those guys have decided to weigh in, I must ofer my opinion
that they're right, and maybe the new and younger guys need to hear
it from the "faithful".
We who have found this list, and have found Tom, are fortunate to
have access to his creations. He doesn't deserve to be badgered or
pressured and I, too, worry that if he's hassled by
impatient "customers" that he'll hang it up and decide he doesn't
need the grief.
So, please, if you're in a rush to get your kit and feel that you
need a quick turnaround after paying your deposit, please don't order
his kits. If you want to know what his estimated schedule is
currently, please ask politely and accept his answer with courtesy
and respect for how hard he's working.
As for me, I'll feel lucky to collect whatever he might decide he
feels like selling to me, whenever he gets around to it. I plan to
populate my layout with these very limited kits knowing that almost
nobody else on the planet will ever have them.
We will never see the likes of Mr. Yorke again, once he decides he's
had enough. Please, either accept his conditions or don't participate.

Everybody in the Yorke Clubhouse--

The day that we come home to find that Mr. Postman brought us a 107 or Dr.
G's or Angel's Nest or somesuch wonderment--is the day that we will be the
happiest kids on the block.;-)

In the meantime--thanks to everyone for remaining civil, thanks to Tom for
being responsive, and thanks to those who gave thoughtful and supportive
comments about the matter.

And Tom--take a break and have some fun this weekend--go see Polar Express
or play with your Gn15 toys or something.  On us.

Peace Thru Plaster,
Craig Kanewske
Austin, Texas.

As a one man company also, I know the position Tom is in.  To
make
things worse, Tom is doing it O , S, HO , and Gn3! The customer's
lack
of understanding of what it takes to bring out a kit  will
cause
problems if one is in a rush. ( our society is always in a
rush!). When
I produce a kit I'll do only a run of around 35-50 kits.
After they are
gone I'll start development of a new kit. The only
trouble I see with
Tom, is that as a one man show, he has taken on
making kits for four
different scales. That leaves very little time to
get kits out in a
timely manner. So there is going to be some
displeasure for the person
who is in a hurry for his kit.  Also, some
times, parts, like windows,
doors, etc are supplied by other vendors
for your kits, production will
come to a standstill if your vendor, who
is supplying you these parts
doesn't  get them out to you for weeks, or
months, I know, it has
happen to me a couple of times.
  Maybe, Tom, you
could divide your production year into quarters ,
divide each quarter
to one of the scales that you produce. That way
you can consertrate on
just one scale to get your orders done and out
in a timely manor. This
is just a suggestion, for I know that there are
many factors the go
into producing kits and there are more things that I
didn't cover
here.

Well, Dave,
I now that Tom has already offered a refund, but I would be glad to
take delivery of your reserved kit if you're ready to spend the money
on another project. I'm switching to O scale, mostly because of Tom's
planned output, but I'd bet I could almost double my money if I put
the kit on Ebay. Let me know.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your kind words. Let's not let this get
into a sparing match, please. We are here to build models. I
have to work in "all" scales at the same time because of the
limited sales in each.
Then a Vicksburg and a Dr. G's comes along and sells through
the roof! That is great, but it does upset the planned schedule. I
thought I would be done with those two by now, but it looks as
though I'll run the life out of the second set of moulds and need a
third. Many times models only sell to a tiny crowd. Who knew that
those would take off. At any rate, I truely thank those who have
ordered one or both of those.
As for playing this weekend............... I'd love to, but I don't think I
really can. More Gn15 locos need making. Everything I do is
done by hand, so it takes a lot longer than machinery "spitting"
out parts. I will see if I can devote a couple of hours to the photo
display I am doing for the Gn15 stuff. It's work related, but it will
operate - so I can play trains soon!


Cheers,
Tom

Six months waiting for a kit? That's nothing,try waiting for an HOn3 Porter(not
from Tom,I hasten to add).2 years plus,and a significantly greater deposit than
you paid.
    If you have got a complaint with Tom sort it out privately,it is none of our
business Sorry to sound terse,but I'm on the side of the majority who have
spoken.
   However,Tom could help himself more by keeping people who have paid money
better informed,so that they have no cause for complaint,saving people like me
the pleasure of composing rude responses like this ! !

those would take off. At any rate, I truely thank
those who have
ordered one or both of those.
As for playing this weekend............... I'd love
to, but I don't think I
really can. More Gn15 locos need making. Everything I
do is
done by hand, so it takes a lot longer than machinery
"spitting"
out parts. I will see if I can devote a couple of
hours to the photo
display I am doing for the Gn15 stuff. It's work
related, but it will
operate - so I can play trains soon!


Cheers,
Tom

Tom is one in a million...a man of integrity and immense talent and
creativity.  And he always comes through.  I have many of his incredible
structures,
collected through the years back to some of his very earliest kits and I
treasure every one of them.  I recently waited almost 7 months for some items
while
Tom went through all sorts of hardships but when he was able, I got what I
ordered and he more than made up for the wait.

In this day of mass production and immediate gratification Tom is a rarity.
You complainers don't have the slightest idea how lucky we are that he
continues to make these limited production, virtually hand-made creations from
his
fertile imagination.  If you don't like it, go buy some plastic shake-the-box
kit that appear on thousands of other layouts...otherwise give Tom a break.
You'll get what you ordered as soon as he is able and it WILL be worth the wait.

For those that do not want to wait for the HO 107, there is one up
on ebay.

Here is one already built up so you don't even need to wait to build
it.

Frank,
Here's a line from the description of the kit.
"Original price is still on this kit of 89.00 and that was years ago."
Strange - the original price of this kit was $24.95.

Ok, I got a little time in on my own stuff this weekend in between
the pours. My Mogul is in pieces in preperation for a conversion
to a Gn15 size 0-6-0 ST mining loco. It will require a whole new
boiler and cab, plus details, of course. That will require some
time that I do not have right now, but being dissassembled, I can
plan what I need to do. Also worked a little on the 12"x48" Gn15
photo display "shelf". Got the pit in and plastered as well as the
basic shop floor. Track is next. That won't take too long, so I can
run trains pretty soon. I'll shoot this as I go starting tomorrow so
you can see what I'm doing. Just a small industrial scene upon
which to shoot photos of the Gn15 stuff -- but it does run! Not far.
But it does run.

If anybody needs a complete Mogul boiler assembly, cab and
tender, let me know off list. Make a reasonable offer and it could
be yours.


Cheers,
Tom

I just6 up loaded a couple of pictures of what appears to be a kit
bash of 2 of toms early kits ....the "cabin on the hill" and
the "stone frame factory". I found these in the
oldstructuresprototypes yahoo group files posted by a dan wolschon.

It appears that the castings from these 2 kits and possibly one
other have been joined together to creat one large structure, very
interesting.....madmike

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
  Upon real close examination it has been determined that the base of
the tall structure is the power house or machine shop kit that was
offered to go with the 3 stall engine house..........madmike

What I find most interesting is the smaller stone structure apparently hovering
in space!  ;-)
