RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) 30096's cab in the pic here looks remarkably like a post-BR modification. Anyone able to say for sure? Looking at the pics from Dapol I might add a brown one I don't need to the LSWR club one I don't need which is already on order (with a class P from Hattons I don't need......)

Linesideohotos Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 And so it starts........... So the chimney is weedy but the white plastic cross heads are fine....?

trevor7598 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I am interested in 30089, a one time Guildford shed pilot. Looking at the livery sample of 30089, It would seem that the model has an Adams smokebox door ,in error. Photographs clearly show this loco with a Drummond door by the early crest days. This is an observation rather than a criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted November 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2017 An incorrect chimney is wrong white plastic crossheads are black paint and easy to fix. Arguably the chimney is a quick fix........but these were clearly livery samples and not production models. Let's wait and see.....There will be no more need for a replacement chimney than for black paint on the cross head. Any way, I am thinking these will go very well with my Hornby Peckett...... A nice pre-grouping shunting plank. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.Uni Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Update from Dapol, all of the standard models have sold out at Dapol. There is a limited amount of the club model available. https://www.Dapol.co.uk/OO-Gauge-L-and-SWR-B4-Class-0-4-0T-decorated-samples-Update Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
time for a brew Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Wow! Sold out already? This confirms that they must be ready or at least under construction, otherwise with their control of the factory, Dapol would have increased the build quantity to meet demand. They will be in the shops for January unless there is a Quality problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that the once a production slot was fixed it couldn't be altered and instead a new slit had to be found for any change in production numbers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffBird Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Update from Dapol, all of the standard models have sold out at Dapol. There is a limited amount of the club model available. https://www.Dapol.co.uk/OO-Gauge-L-and-SWR-B4-Class-0-4-0T-decorated-samples-Update The Club model is very nice and looks lovely in its Adams pea-green livery and I have ordered one to go with my Hornby LSWR-liveried Terrier - both were based at Exeter. However, I think the number as No. 91 is incorrect with this livery as according to my information (Bradley) on Nos. 85 - 87 received this livery, the rest the olive green goods livery. Can anyone confirm this and even produce a photo of locos in this livery? A beautiful little model though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgibbons Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Given the bent towards small locos in Dapol's O Gauge range I imagine we may see this one in 7mm scale before long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See post #12 https://digest.Dapol.co.uk/forum/main-forum/l-swr-b4-0-4-0t/project-managers-blog-ag/5697-lswr-b4-livery-sheets It has something related to the book you mentioned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 90 certainly seems to be pea-green rather than olive green, so it would seem Dapol are correct as No. 91 would be from the same Batch. There is a book "The B4 Dock Tanks" - perhaps if anyone has a copy of this it might some more light on this Topic. Anyway, thanks to Dapol for producing such superb little models.

trevor7598 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I had a very pleasant conversation with a member of the Dapol team at Warley today, concerning the wrong smokebox door on B4 30089. I was assured that the production model will have the correct Drummond type door, and also the chimney will be corrected. This appears to be a separately applied fitting ie not moulded on.
