CJM

CJM was a model railway supplier, known for offering bespoke N gauge models. All of CJM's models were handcrafted and ran on powerful Saturn chassis. Several of these models were Eurostar and Channel-Tunnel themed.

Overview
CJM was founded on September 1st 1987. The company started out repainting and detailing Graham Farish models.

CJM GNER Eurostar
CJM offered a "stripped and repainted" Kato Eurostar in GNER livery. Customers could purchase an 8, 12, or 16 coach formation. The full 16 coach formation would have been an accurate reflection of the NOL (North of London) Class 373 sets used by GNER. There was also a choice between the launch livery, and the revised livery which included red doors. At a certain point, CJM was only able to offer "customer supplied" sets for repainting. This was likely due to the discontinuation of the Kato Eurostar at the time and CJM had exhausted its own supplies.

GNER itself commissioned this model, to commemorate the launch of the new service.

Prices
The price for these highly bespoke models was £1250 for an 8 car set, and £2000 for the full 16 car set. It is unknown whether these prices included the Kato Eurostar (and thus were the prices before CJM ran out of its own stocks) or whether this was the cost for repainting. Due to the highly specialized nature of CJM's work, these prices could have easily been just for the repainting.
