I'm part of the silent majority. Or at least I was...........I bought D1056 Maroon FYE in May and it STILL hasn't pulled a proper train yet. I won't fit the details untill I'm happy with the loco. I've had lots of derailing issues. Dapol told me that it was a known wheelset problem and to send it to DCC Supplies. It still suffers from derailments and Dapol tell me it's not their loco, but it's my new (code 100) track! Everything else runs ok. I'd really like a blue Western but I'm not going to get one untill improvements have been made.
It's a lovely looking loco but I'm VERY disapointed with the performance
