LNERandBR Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 All seems quiet on these. Hopefully Warley will yield some more information. Although I was hoping they would be out in time for xmas and that somehow feels unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mutley Posted November 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi all, Has anybody heard how Dapol are going to implement the DCC element of these coaches? I'm assuming this will be for the control of internal lighting / tail lights etc so that they are not just constantly on (ie for when they are parked up in Carriage Sidings or the like). I've noted that they are going to be available 'DCC Fitted' as an option but as I've quite a number of Lenz decoders in stock (that won't fetch much secondhand if I sell them) it would make sense for me to purchase without DCC and fit my own decoders. My question is, are we going to get sockets, or will they be provided with decoders hard-wired? I have asked the question of Dapol but haven't had a response, so just wondering if anybody had heard anything on the grapevine? Thanks in advance Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubes Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Should the SR green versions have the roundel? I thought only the coaches earmarked for use on the Royal Wessex services had them. Kubes 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERandBR Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Dapol had a TV at Ally Pally showing updates on forthcoming items. Nothing about the Mk1s appeared on it. I did spot something right at the bottom of their display cabinate that looked Mk1 ish but I never managed to get close enough to look properly.

Well, in fairness despite the thread title they are actually a Lionheart project, not Dapol, and they do seem to keep the companies products separate (separate websites, Facebook pages, etc.).

LNERandBR Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Ah, but they had a simular TV at Warley which included the Mk1's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2019 Have a look at the Dapol 14xx thread. There is a green one right behind the loco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick guess, limited market means that they feel, at least for this production run, they would have to produce too many coaches to sell in a reasonable time period and still satisfy the minimum run per paint scheme the factory requires. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say green was not available. That's an easy option as all the numbers have to be S. It was the lack of maroon ER & WR that struck me as particularly odd.

Steph Saville Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone, Sincere apologies if this has been talked about elsewhere on the forum and please read this as an observation and not me pretending to be an expert. I was looking at the decorated sample pics that have been around on the internet yesterday and noticed that the one piece moulded sides don't actually reach the ends of the carriage. The ends of the carriage seem to have roughly (I cannot confirm as I haven't measured) up to 2mm of the sides moulded in to the them and they just butt up to the sides. This is more obvious in the Maroon and Green painted samples as the sides are painted and then assembled leaving roughly up to 2mm of black carriage ends at the end of the sides of the carriage, where to my mind the colour should reach to the end of the sides and very slightly round the corner ? Apart from the painting issue this also leaves an extra un-prototypical line down the sides of the carriages. I model in BR blue so I can see a potential problem with the grey and white lining. If they paint and line the sides separately and then assemble the carriage then potentially this would leave too much blue at the ends of the carriage. I wonder if they are planning to paint the carriage ends to include the ends of the grey and white lining from the sides ? There don't seem to be any pics of any decorated samples in blue grey. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just my imagination, Stephanie Pics included: Edited August 5, 2019 by Steph Saville Spelling 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted August 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Good spot. The B Set has the sides overlapping the ends so although the crack is fairly prominent (especially with the lights on, which show through the gap) its a lot easier to fill and repaint than doing anything about the join on these.

I was toying with either these or the Darstaed's, but I think that's clearly pushing me towards the latter. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
