rembrow Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I've just read on the Dapol site that a new product catalogue covering items in 2014/15 is to be released at Ally Pally this weekend. The catalogue will be 130 pages. There is no indication whether any new products will be announced, however with so many still outstanding it is probably unlikely, but will hopefully clarify what products from the last catalogue are going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 2 new products apparently from my friendly spy at Chirk. OO and N gauge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenwall Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 One hopes that all the previously announce models are in there. Looking foward to seeing what changes have been made to address the wheelbase vs superstructure 'non sequitur' in some of those O gauge announcements at Telford. This must be the progress promised 'early in the new year'. At least the date is close, not dragged out for 6 months like last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi garden wall, Sorry I didn't ask, so can't tell. I was more 'interested' in progress of the OO and N and the new models.............very interesting on both counts! Better not say anymore or I'll be in trouble ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but as an '00' gauge modeller, although there were recent updates on progress for the motorised models (Cl 73,121,122 etc) there has been no info on progress with the proposed wagons from the 2012/13 catalogue since Dave Jones left Dapol. Most if not all of these were his developments covering infrastructure and heavy haulage types, fitting in well with Bachmann products covering the 70s onwards eras.

RMweb Gold Adam1701D Posted March 18, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2014 Might be worth the stroll up the hill at the weekend to take a look. Most of what I have been reading about Dapol recently has been rather negative, so it would be great to see things picking up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
definate maybe Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Dave, I can understand that you would not want to give away details now you are no longer part of the team but can you advise if the new items were on the radar during your time at Dapol or if they are products devised by the new team? I was just curious as to what direction they may be taking in regards to new products Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Look on the bright side Adam, if the weathers good it will be a nice walk if nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaneofFife Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Missing Ally Pally this year (Off to a prog-rock festival in Darkest Wales). Dapol are sounding like a band who have just lost their lead singist.... I thought it was loss of the drummer that led to the downfall of a band anyway this now has my interest and I am suitably frothed up. I wonder whats on the horizon now then???? something in N and 00 eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Does anyone know if the catalogue be available to download (as previously) or will it only be available as a printed paper copy that has to be purchased? G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 And will it include anything more than images of prototypes rather than actual models. So the Manor will be out in April and I shall be pre-ordering (I might knock Dapol, but I do buy their products) but it was an existing tooling. We've had plenty of Halls, A4s and A3s plus a smattering of Panniers, let's see some of the other promised stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benn Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'll be happy if the BR design of the GWR siphon G appears, so I can stick a few in my parcels trains behind my westerns to complete the fleet. They're the last major parcels vehicle we're missing in N gauge now, especially us WR modellers! (the Lima one doesn't count...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 2 new products apparently from my friendly spy at Chirk. OO and N gauge DJM Dave, are they outside from the Class 68 which is semi announced? As then it does get exciting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 DJM Dave, are they outside from the Class 68 which is semi announced? As then it does get exciting! Hi, Yes they are and they don't use diesel, petrol or electricity to get going either. I know I'm a big tease. Oh, and they are locomotives of a coal burning, not turf burning etc variety ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenwall Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Dave also did not mention parafin (gas turbine) external supply steam/air/vacuum (fireless) human (platelayers), horse (tram) or gravity (slate train). He also did not say 'locomotive' - just 'products'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Single livery and they are behind on several other projects so I think that it is unlikely we will see a G in blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
