graham2650 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Any sign of the BR blue 56 yet? I seem to recall they were promised 'next month' at the end of July so should be imminent. Cash ready and waiting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted September 7, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) No but we do have a large shipment in on Monday Hi Dave, Just wondered whether Hattons had been in contact re the order numbers? I only ask as I had pre ordered a redstripe rail freight grey from them and then when the livery list was amended I dropped them a polite note saying perhaps they should get in contact as there pre-orders didn't tally with Dapol liverys. I only ask as the redstripe rail freight grey still looks to be a pre order item Edited September 7, 2012 by bcnPete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi Pete, I'm not sure but will ask Kevin , who deals with this side of Dapol, to contact them next week. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave Whilst looking at Hattons website earlier today, to see if the blue ones have arrived yet, I now see the above link I posted shows that there are 10 redstripe railfreight grey now in stock...surely that can't be right?

DapolDave Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi Gerry, As it goes, and i'm sure some on here will pick about the livery, but i think it looks fantastic. Incidentally we used the original works paint diagams for this deco, that way we got the double arrows spot on measurement wise for the RFG version. cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted September 12, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2012 That Railfreight grey does look nice... oops...clicked the mouse button on the buy button on Hattons website by mistake...then made the same mistake in the checkout area. Guess this will be a nice placeholder until the blue one docks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJ Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 oops...clicked the mouse button on the buy button on Hattons website by mistake...then made the same mistake in the checkout area. It's a very easy mistake to make. I've done it on several occasions. Must be something to do with their website! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornish trains jez Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Got my 56013. Looks great and ready for some china clay action! Have just ordered depot plaques and arrows from Shawplan today to finish her off as she was when she visited Cornwall. Also need to change the buffers to oval ones as these had been fitted at this point as per the photo's in John Vaughan's book, "An illustrated history of the Cornish Main Line". A fine model though, well done Dapol! Not sure if I'll bother changing the bodyside grill though... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted September 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 19, 2012 @ Dapol Dave Are there are more blue 56's due to stockists? Kernow look like they sold out pretty quickly...and Hattons looked like they never arrived... TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yes, all blue and rail freight grey that were ordered had gone out to stockist by courier 2 days ago at the latest. Dapol still hold stock of both these liveries if you cannot get them elsewhere or your stockist is laiming he cannot get them etc. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreamnos Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 @ Dapol Dave Are there are more blue 56's due to stockists? Kernow look like they sold out pretty quickly...and Hattons looked like they never arrived... TIA Yes, I am slightly annoyed by this, too. Hattons are by far the best stockist for overseas customers: lowest shipping fees and no hassles on returns. With Dapol's latest release of the Q1 Hattons also was a good two weeks later to stock compared to Rails of Sheffield. This seems no different. Methinks I will send them an "enquiry about this product" and see what it has to say! Matt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My heart says but my wallet is saying I normally deal with Hattons (for the same reasons quoted by Matt above) so I will keep checking their website everyday...
