oreamnos Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My luck with Dapol steam locos has been terrible but I keep buying them (and then sending them back because QC apparently isn't part of its business model...) because the company has produced models of prototypes that interest me. Three or four years ago Dapol offered a Bulleid Q1 0-6-0. I was mostly into D&E at the time so I didn't purchase one, but my interests have shifted and of course now none of these can found for sale. Has anyone heard if Dapol have any plans for re-issuing this loco in the future? I'd be grateful for any news. Thanks, Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 IIRC it wasn't in the recent poll of items to re-release by Dapol so I don't think anything will be forthcoming any time soon. You'd be best looking at second hand fairs, but I think that some of these models weren't very good mechanically so be sure to test any items prior to purchase.

Elvinley Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 They are still fairly common on Ebay. I have a couple of decent ones, though I also had a couple that didn't work well and ran in a very jerky fashion. They are great looking models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibuchan Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 is it the BR version or the Southern version that you are after? As I know a shop that has a couple. Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreamnos Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 is it the BR version or the Southern version that you are after? As I know a shop that has a couple. Alistair BR, but I just had a look at the Marketplace and didn't see any listed. Probably been sold. Thank you, Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibuchan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 no it is an actual shop, not in the marketplace. i spoke to them last week and he had 1 new BR one left. Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
