RMweb Premium JR_P Posted July 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Wow, what is this.... Dapol have remembered that they do do [new tooled] N gauge models ! Frankly I’m far more interested in where the mk3 sleepers have gotten to, for which I’ve already paid a deposit on the KMS exclusives.... !

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted July 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15, 2021 Bit harsh - Dapol have done plenty of re-runs/new liveries lately, plus we've had the 50 and the 68 in the last few years. Have they done much more in OO...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and the prototype HST as well as the class 142 and 33s before that. Plus they're working on a retooled SR tank loco (M7?).

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 16, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2021 Whilst I would like one, I don't think they ever ventured north of the Scottish border but there is always rule 1... The depressing thing has been on social media in response to the news, the number of people asking what does 'abeyance' mean. I despair..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despair..... Depressing? Really?? It's not the end of the world if a lot people don't know the meaning of a word. The word "abeyance" isn't a commonly used word. The first time I myself heard it was when Dapol used it (a few years ago). A lot of people in the UK still mix up the spellings of "dose" and "does". I've seen does spelt incorrectly (dose) a lot on rmweb and many other online forums and facebook groups for the hobby. Does that also depress you? There's far more serious things in this world at the moment to be depressed about other than people not knowing the meaning of a word. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despair..... Personally, I don’t find it depressing that there are people who don’t know the meaning of “abeyance”. As @MGR Hooper! quite rightly points out, it simply isn’t a commonly used word. What is slightly disappointing to me is the fact that people would rather advertise their ignorance of a word in this way than look up the meaning themselves. It would take just a few seconds to do so using the device with which they were already accessing “social media”. Or, for people of my vintage, there’s the dictionary.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted July 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Accepting this is an early CAD, there are a few of areas of concern: The first is the number of bodyside corrugations, which is 19 on the CAD but only 17 on the prototype. The second: Don't do it Dapol, Its 2021 not 2001! They're not needed on the 66 so they're not needed here either! The third is the missing beading below the cab doors: On every photo of the prototypes I can find, this beading does not stop before the door on either end/side. Other than that, promising start.

Les If they ever do reach that level we will have to see. Most of the problems seem to be shoddy liveries and numbering on another wise good model. This does not apply to the 142 where the model is iffy but with a nice paint job. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
