No Decorum Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yay!!!! http://Dapol.co.uk/product-development/oo-gauge-product-development/Class-21-29 Good oh! Going by recent productions, there’s a reasonable expectation that it will run better than the 22 and have a better finish too. (Whisper), barring accidents.

ScRSG Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Does it mean the tooling will be complete by Q3 2017 or the model will be ready by then? Edited March 24, 2017 by ScRSG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Does it mean the tooling will be complete by Q3 2017 or the model will be ready by then? If I were Dapol, I would schedule release for Model Rail Scotland 2018, get maximum bang for their buck. Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim going from tooling to completely ready in 6 months for Q3 would be pretty optimistic, Model Rail Scotland 2018 would probably be more likely!! Just hope they improve the Quality Control from the Class 68 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles73128 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Great news! I would think Q3/4 2018 by the time they have received first shots and the artwork. Thinking about it, maybe more likly a 2019 Q1/2 release. Does it mean the tooling will be complete by Q3 2017 or the model will be ready by then?

Mad McCann Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Given the structural (if less so Livery) quality of the 68 I'm cautiously optimistic regarding the NBL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrachogaidh Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 So much for your OO troubles. Happily awaiting the 68 in N Gauge and assured that the 21/29 will eventually one day be produced in N also. Irrespective of the doomsayers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulG Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Pleased see Class 21 mentioned as D6110 to D6137 were delivered new between May and December 1959 to Stratford and Ipswich.

paulbb Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 The 'exception' maybe the earlier class 05 hunslet shunters, as Heljans model is the later one with larger wheels and a taller cab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul Or the Hunslet 0-4-0 trams, or even the Drewry trams, or could be the Met -Cam lightweights, or the Wickhams units. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Clive Yes you are right. Thats at least 4 new diesels to look forward too then eh -who said that with diesels 'all have been done' ! Apart from the forthcoming NB types (41,29,21) , looking forward to early Metrovicks with wrap around windows-when they ran between Manchester Central they used oil lamps too on the front to indicate train type, so no need for lights etc. Apologies for topic drift here folks.

No Decorum Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Sh! You’ll make Dapol bring them out at the same time as the 121s, GWR railcars, 59s and second batch 68s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
