RMweb Premium Hippo Posted January 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm not a member of the Dapol club. Can anyone tell us what the club special will be, as if its of interest I may have to join. Thanks Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndg910 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) The Dapol website says the B4 is 'in tooling' and "Completion Expected Q1 2017". I suspect that means tooling will be completed then rather than the model but we live in hope. No details for any other OO products in development unfortunately. http://Dapol.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=781_784_793 Edited February 8, 2017 by ndg910 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 So what happened to the OO gauge railcar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 So what happened to the OO gauge railcar? Which one. The BR Class 122 railcar is expected in March with the Class 121 about 3 months later according to recent updates in the Dapol Digest. The GWR Railcar has been delayed as painted samples were not accurate and have had to go back to China for reworking. All 3 have tooling completed.

Dapol advised 2 weeks ago on that forum, that the final CADs had been agreed and the model was in the toolroom.

5050 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Both the B4 and the GWR railcar 'prototypes' were on display at Ally Pally over the weekend. Both look very good, the B4 has 3 cab variations and the railcar has GWR and BR livery variants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvrnut Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 First tooling shots look very promising. Can't wait for this loco to be released , Another of Adams fine locomotives to add to my fleet of LSWR / Southern locos. Actually I am more excited about this than I was of the recently released Merchant Navy in original condition. I am still hoping that someone will do the Adams T3 that was part of the National Collection, but now that it looks like its going to the Swanage Railway maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up. Here's a thought, perhaps the Swanage Railway could commission a manufacturer to do a ready to run T3 with part of the proceeds from sales going towards restoration of the real loco. Cheers, Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnich Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Looks pretty good to me! Thanks for sharing. Really excited to see this progress. I used to watch one of them- latterly 30096 or 30102 - trundle around the yard at Winchester. On a related topic does anyone know where the crew was based- Winchester or Eastleigh? The loco used to swap over on Friday evening. Did the crew deliver the current shunter to Eastleigh and immediately drive the other loco back to Winchester? Memory is hazy but I remember many times seeing the move to Eastleigh running light engine down the main line on a Friday evening. I'm guessing it got overtaken at Shawford by any number of faster trains! Norm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted April 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2017 I recall reading an article not too long ago in one of the steam mags that said the Winchester Yard duty was an Eastleigh crew job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
