Andy Y Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 No; if there had have been it would have been mentioned in the review and the review does say what you get and what isn't there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Yes. Very nice by the looks of it. Looking forward to seeing the 4mm versions. Cheers. Sean. Edited March 8, 2012 by Andy Y Duplication edited Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I missed this thread originally until it popped up this afternoon. An amazing product that modellers have waited years for. I'm not a signalling aficionado and so I like the look of the GWR lower quadrant signals, which in my layout will do as LNWR ones! If this product sells really well I hope a junction bracket signal will be considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I know there's quite a bit more planned including brackets as you say Larry but I'm sure the eventual scope of the range may depend upon sales of the initial bread and butter lines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_R Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Placed an order for some 4mm LMS/BR ones and have been told that I may not get all I need so they sound like they may be selling out just on the pre-orders! I wonder how many are actually being produced in the initial manufacturing run? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Martin, Have no fear. We have just doubled the order from China so there should be enough for everyone. However if I hear that they cannot produce the extra immediately because of established production schedules I'll let you know here. Cheers Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike J Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Dave, Running before we can walk, when can we have LNER ones in 2mm, and is there any proposal to make bracket signals? No pressure! Best wishes, Mike Sorry....forgot to say....very impressive Edited March 8, 2012 by Mike J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Bracket signals are currently being designed in both gauges, but as you can imagine its slightly more complex than normal posts. I have also started to design southern signal posts "ladder type" as well, and I have figured out how to mould them as that would have been problematic. LNER ones will come, probably right after Southern. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDEEDIESEL Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Great addition to N Gauge-Delighted!! Only concern is that Dapol make enough of each design to go round and for a long period as it will take me a while to replace my Colour lights with proper Railway signals.Well done Dapol! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Mr D, Dont worry as we aim to make the signal range a permanent stock feature. The only thing is that at the start it might take a little while for stock levels to even out and allow us to get a 'handle' on production runs.

MRDEEDIESEL Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks Dave for your prompt response.Thats great as ive had difficulty in obtaining Dapol Items previously.Also Sorry..... i know Colour Lights are proper signals as well and i like them too but i preferred my Local area (Especially Dundee)when it had the semaphores and im delighted that now we can get working ones in N Gauge to recreate the past.

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted March 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thank you for saying that you are currently designing bracket signals. I would also be interested in double arm (stop and distant) signals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fitness Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 GWR lower quadrant signals, which in my layout will do as LNWR ones! . will you be doing that with your coaches as well Larry ? JF 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have also started to design southern signal posts "ladder type" as well, By ladder do you mean the rail built ones then? Or lattice rather than ladder? About cost, when you think that at full retail you can get three working signals for the price of one working loco they seem very good value. The advantage is you can add them later just by making sure there's enough room for the base plate. I'll be waiting for the SR ones and my father will be getting LNER ones so let's hope the GWR and LMS ones sell well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next thing you'll be asking for slotted arms (another signalling joke although some of us might be partial to arms with holes in them). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Budgie Posted March 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2012 I wonder how easy it will be to customise these signals. For instance, using a different signal arm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2012 I wonder how easy it will be to customise these signals. For instance, using a different signal arm. That will be an interesting area to investigate - Ratio arms might be suitable being plastic and thus thicker than etched but if etched arms are a runner then plenty of variety will be at hand for some of us.

newport_rod Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 How many of all the others would have to sell before we got somersault signals? Rod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 excellent product , gap filling most certainly. I'd be surprised if these didn't win an award this year.... I guess i would need round post for GWR circa 1982 ?So would have to wait for those. If these are 16 V AC can you just hook up a switch from the DCC output of my prodigy or am I over simplifying the case ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Forgot to mention I will look at the signals and see if I can fit the correct LNWR arms if necessary. Edited March 9, 2012 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9h1bw Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Does anybody have an idea what type of DCC decoder will be required to operate it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
