I’d do it myself but I’m 18,000km away in New Zealand lol. Little expensive to just pop over. Same here, although for me it is only about 5600km.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted November 26, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2022 Was there any updates on this on the Warley stand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted November 26, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2022 I spoke today at Warley with Richard from Dapol. He says it is still a long way off and could not give a specific date. The prototype was on display which we have seen before. Cheers, Ade. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs4 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Throw stones if you wish.. if that is an O gauge 66, is that an O gauge HIA / similar buffered up to it ?? or am I suffering a Dougal / Father Ted moment ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted November 28, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2022 Over on the Heljan thread people are commenting that a lot of their stuff is hit and miss. I observed they bring things to market fairly regularly and seldom make alterations once EPs are shown. I suspect they may have a cashflow plan they stick to and know what will sell enough, regardless of looks. Dapol take their time and generally, in 7mm at least, turn out really good looking models. Didn't they basically start again with the 08 when Richard Webster got involved? Of the two, I'd put up with Dapols delays over Heljans approach every time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium J. S. Bach Posted March 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2023 Odd, I just received this from Hatton's (dated 15mar23) in reference to another enquiry: "for the Dapol 66 when they come in. These Class 66's should be with us by the end of the month, so not too long to wait now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noted it wasn’t in the cabinet at AP and no livery samples yet so highly unlikely to be that soon. I heard someone who said they’d asked at the weekend saying there are some alterations to tooling on the sides to do but didn’t ask Richard myself so could be guessing.

Nick G Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Reading the last update I doubt it will be any time soon.

Night Train Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 The Heljan 02 was announced 2 1/2 years ago and still no sign of it, so probably not a lot different and thats a pretty small loco in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just heard from Hattons to the effect that they expect deliveries between January and March 2024, so they must have done just that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
