brossard Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Great! One of my all time favourites. Only a year to release? Seems optimistic unless they've been beavering away in secret for a couple of years. I was dismayed when Hattons announced their commission to Heljan for TWO Pacifics. I though "who has room for these?" Locos like this are, IMO, what are needed. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Not bad...didn't see that coming! I don't model O gauge..But I'd love to have a S&DJR Blue one. Roughly a year till their estimated delivery. Hope I can save some pennies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenwall Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I don't know whether to 'yippee' or 'oh dear' - one is not going to be enough especially with those livery choices - granddad fired/drove these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew1974 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I am sure it will be great in 7 years time when it finally gets released. I for one will not be holding my breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 With Richard involved at Dapol they do plan on getting models to shop a lot quicker than the 08 and terrier. If it takes 18 months and we get a Jinty for the £235 mark I think it will be worth the wait. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NeilHB Posted October 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2016 Wibble. I think I may have to order one of these...in SDJR blue! Good memories of cabbing one of the ones at Butterley as a kid with my grandpa, so errmmm yes, expect to see one on Elsbridge Wharf... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted October 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2016 At least it's not another ****** GWR pannier tank! Timescale and price look attractive [esp. compared to Heljan] The MR/LMS 8' + 8'6" chassis has many other possibilities.... 1F tank, 2F, 3F, 4F tender locos.

south_tyne Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 ...So we've had Southern, GWR. LMS and BR locos. LNER next please... Another 'thumbs up' for the proactive approach being taken by Dapol to open up O gauge to the masses. Agree with the above, hopefully the next announcement will be an LNER loco in a similar vein to the others. There's only one option in my eyes...... it's got to be a J72!! It wouldn't seem a bad shout either particularly given the continued success of the Bachmann (ex-Mainline) version in 4mm scale and the fact that Dapol are going to produce an N gauge one too. Just blow those drawings up to 7mm scale lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcayton Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 A J72 is no use. AFAIAA they never worked passenger trains, Now, if they did a J69 it could work passenger, but they could also do it in the glorious livery of 68619 (the famous "Liverpool Street pilot").

Ed Spoil sport But to throw the left-field suggestion out there, which I always do in these type of threads... How about a J70 (or Y6) Wisbech and Upwell tram!? A distinctive loco, used on both goods and passenger workings, long-lived and with a novelty value through the Toby factor! Surely they would be wildly popular! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinty Likewise I am down the road so to speak, only ever been the once although I pass close by occasionally say no more!! Like the idea of a Jinty though, £191 from Tower Models, last Jinty I bought was around £600, makes you think doesn't it??

Ed Rgarding the J69, there has been some broad hints that one might appear from the Little Loco Company in due course, so your wish may come true!

RMweb Premium Dava Posted October 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2016 J72s were used as pilots at major NER area stations such as Hull & Newcastle, which is one reason more were built and some painted in Apple or NER green, so they certainly pulled passenger stock. Only minor variations [smaller wheels] than the J71 which did haul passenger trains sometimes. Y6 or J70 available via other routes, or build your own from a fruit box!

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Crumbs, first the 08 and now a jinty... my sketchy idea of an O scale layout based on British Oak is looking more likely than ever. I better start collecting 16 tonners.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
