Spannerman Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 What an absolute peach. Looks like the long wait could be well worth it. Nik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Dapol a company of two halves, on the one hand they turn out poor livery application and dodgy 142 windows whilst on the other is the 08 and B4. I want this model to continue to be on the excellent half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvrnut Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Looks absolutely gorgeous ! Well done so far Dapol. Looks like the long wait will be well worth it. Mother always said, "Good things come to them that wait". Cheers, Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Looks alright. Wonder if it would go on top of the SEF B4 chassis for P4 purposes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold kipford Posted June 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2017 Looks great, the pre-order seems a long long long time ago perhaps I will get in time for Xmas! Only compliant is that Bl"£$Y awful looking tension lock coupling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I hope the people at Dapol manage to get a quart into a pint pot. Decent motor, space for a sugar cube speaker and stay alive and plenty of weight. A flywheel would be nice as would some form of compensation. Have I just requested it in 0 scale? Ditch the compensation and flywheel and use the space for more weight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffBird Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Would be good if they were to do a variant with a spark arrester like most of the Friary based locos had. Where can one get such a thing anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch the compensation and flywheel and use the space for more weight! If I remember rightly, when Dapol were going to do the other Southampton Docks regular - the USA tank - the idea was to cast the chassis in depleted uranium .... or something similar ....... for extra weight : that didn't happen when others completed the job - but it might be a good idea this time !!?!

Tungsten, possibly? I think that might have been used in the (steam) Sentinel. Not a bad idea if it can be managed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only compliant is that Bl"£$Y awful looking tension lock coupling. Which will go straight into the dustbin, so far as mine is concerned............. They go with the r-t-r territory, I'm afraid and those of us unwilling to put up with them develop the modest skills needed to do something about it.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted June 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Looking good. Now I just need the U, Q and G6 and that will be pretty much all the BR(S) Western Division done... Also 0395, D.15, G.16, H.15, H.16, S.15 (Urie) W, Z, and several more, depending on which bit of the Western Division and what exact period one follows.

GreenGiraffe22 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Did these ever travel to the South East in SR days? It looks like a wonderful model but my South Eastern layout is already over populated with ex LSWR stuff because that's largely all that is on offer at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGiraffe22 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Is there a reason in particular that the ex LSWR is modelled quite generously compared to ex LBSCR / SECR or just coincidence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more attractive locomotives which ran over very appealing routes. Simply the best of the constituent companies which went on to make up the Southern. Seemples.

Far more attractive locomotives which ran over very appealing routes. Simply the best of the constituent companies which went on to make up the Southern. Seemples. Rob I'm not so sure that's the reason (though it's a good one). I think the ex-LSWR models aren't actually that many. Much of what ran over the LSWR metals were Southern locomotives (S15, West Country/BoB, Schools, King Arthur, Q1, Merchant Navy). The ex-LSWR ones are really only the likes of the M7 (which also ran elsewhere), 700 and T9. However add in the O2 and Well Tank and it starts to look a little lopsided, but those were Kernow commissions and Kernow like to focus on what ran in Cornwall, which had quite an LSWR bias. I'm sure the E4, Atlantic (when it arrives) and the H are the 'beginnings' of the coverage of the other two companies. Still need a U though Edited June 10, 2017 by Ian J.

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted June 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Still need a U though That's a mystery to me why no one has come up with one of these.
