RMweb Premium Northroader Posted September 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2017 There's quite a size difference all round if it's a 1F you're thinking of... Here's my OO versions by way of comparison. Rob Thanks for that, rob. It was going through my mind, but it would mean a new superstructure really.

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted September 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2017 Wonder how much of a job it would be to make the firebox a "round top" and stick a "half cab" on? edit: oh, and there's the smoke box door. LMS standard 3F: 8'0" + 8'6"; 1F: 7'4" + 7'8" (originally 1102, 1377, 1552 classes) or 7'4" + 8'2" (1121 class). Of course there's the 2441 class, from the Belpaire boilered rebuild of which the LMS standard engine was derived. But there are many awkward detail differences, even for the Belpaire version.

Jinty3f Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Email from Hattons today regarding pre orders, tentatively suggesting the end of September as the release date - has to be good news I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) The release for the LMS 3F is meant to be on or after the 28th according to Hattons at the moment, so only a few days away. They do not say if all liveries are released at once in the email news.. Stephen. Correction the 27th is on the site now.......

dpgibbons Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I wouldn't dismiss the Hattons date - they often get Dapol new releases ahead of other retailers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 it was not from the website, I was on the phone about other orders and asked......but it is only when they get them, it takes time to invoice and send out etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains4U Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Before everyone gets a little bit too excited Dapol have airfreighted some in. These are being allocated and distributed, but don't expect retailers to have full allocations. The balance of retailer orders is due to arrive in November. You may yet have to wait for your retailer if your order is a later one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughan45 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Also looks like they are DC only versions, all the DCC / sound fitted versions will be in the main consignment coming by sea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarstonVale Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Also looks like they are DC only versions, all the DCC / sound fitted versions will be in the main consignment coming by sea I spoke to the Dapol guys at the Telford show. The DCC sound chips and speaker are fitted here in the UK so should be coming out within a week or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishmail Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The 3F seems to have leap frogged the Auto Coach and 64XX, (Auto coach originally expected in July ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren01 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It amazes me that you can buy an O gauge loco for the same price as some oo stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northroader Posted September 27, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thank God you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) It's the right sort of price to attract attention, but don't forget there is already the Terrier, with the Pannier to come, and the GWR 042, all at about the same price point. The 08 was a super loco for O gauge, but the Jinty will attract more attention from new buyers in the larger scales, as it is so well known. I just wish there were cheaper wagons to go with them, perhaps even undecorated ones to save a bit of money, or a Dapol kit in plastic like the Kitmaster Airfix ones they do in 00. it needs turnover not just occasional sales of locos to get 0 gauge going again as a mainstream size.

brossard Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Stephen, Dapol RTR wagons and Parkside/Slaters kits are all at roughly the same price point. IMO, they are quite good value. Not sure how you could get cheaper wagons unless you go after Lima or Skytrex. Original Coopercraft GWR wagon kits were pretty cheap. These are now in the Slaters range with improvements and price increase. I think Dapol have given the scale a powerful push in the mainstream direction. Surprised other manufacturers haven't seen the writing. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJon30 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Mine is on its way for Monday Having been slightly caught out by buying a DCC/Sound factory fitted version of the 08 I have elected to go for the DC version.

RMweb Gold ROSSPOP Posted September 29, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2017 Mine is on its way for Monday Having been slightly caught out by buying a DCC/Sound factory fitted version of the 08 I have elected to go for the DC version. Who would be best for the sound decoder for the Jinty? Thanks Andrew My choice would be.......... Digitrains 3F sound with a Zimo MX645 decoder plus a speaker that will fit available space........ ....in a converted 4mm Bachmann.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focalplane Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Mine is on its way for Monday Having been slightly caught out by buying a DCC/Sound factory fitted version of the 08 I have elected to go for the DC version. Who would be best for the sound decoder for the Jinty? Thanks Andrew I second the Digitrains/Zimo combination, having fitted the same in my Connoisseur 3F "Jinty". You should be able to fit a larger speaker in the 7mm version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Having done that for my 08, I plan to do the same thing for my Jinty. There is definitely a premium to be paid for sound on board I think. I'll have to wait for it to get here before deciding on speaker, unless someone does the job first.
