Bernard Lamb Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The headcode box is also to low on the nose- Care to give me a dimension as to how much too low? Given the known variation in the top of the nose, I find it impossible by laying straight edges on the recent photos to detected any appreciable variation.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Andy has requested we drop this discussion of possible errors with the model. Can we do so before this thread is locked on us please. Edited September 16, 2015 by Hilux5972 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Not me, it was written by the guy who modified the model in Rail Express, anyway, It really wouldn't matter. Wether I said 5 mm or half a mm I'd still be wrong! We'll just agree to disagree and put it to bed. Edited September 17, 2015 by Gary H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocomotionatShildon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Decided to film a quick look at my DP1 Enjoyed your video! All the variants are still in stock and this time around it will probably be the weathered of both dp1 and koyli that sell out first. I thought it would be sound but I got it wrong! Surprising so it seems! Cheers Sandra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks for your kind comments, DP1 is one of the best loco's I have. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIAM Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 A couple of quick questions. I've seen the term 'East Coast livery' for DP1. What is the difference between that livery and the preserved livery, and what livery were the very first Bachman run of these locos in? Thanks.

Coldgunner Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 IIRC, the east coast version has a lighter roof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Coldgunner is correct - the roof is lighter and it has a pale yellow stripe around it. The blue is also slightly different. Not noticeable really until you put the East Coast Mainline version against a preserved liveried model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIAM Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks for the responses. I have one of the original 'Platinum' run of 500 of DP1 which I assume is in the LMR/Preserved livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paftrain Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Locomotion have today announced yet another model of DP1 Deltic. This time it is in 'East Coast Main Line Livery'. I already have two issued by Locomotion in slightly different blue liveries because I thought the first one I bought didn't look the right blue so I bought the second issue that was supposed to represent its livery when in service. So I wonder if this new one is different again. I'm not buying yet another one to get the livery right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2017 As i read it there are 2 versions coming out .32-523 DP1 West Coast Mainline version & 32-522 DP1 East coast main line version. There is a difference between the 2 at sole bar level Don’t forget the colour of the buffers !!! :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesfeldian Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 DP2 was a thing It existed DP1 was not a thing It never existed. There was a DELTIC The End Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 It's extremely well documented that DP1 was it's official number but wasn't carried. It was also going to be named Enterprise rather than Deltic. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the most noticeable difference is the colour is darker for the original condition. http://www.locomotionmodels.com/ I'll probably be ordering a WCML one, even though I've got a half built Dapol/Lima one from years ago lurking about somewhere.

RMweb Premium Legend Posted November 26, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2017 Isn’t it just the Express Train titles that make it either West Coast or East Coast ? I don’t think the livery changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I thought it was darker when originally built and as preserved. Also darker bogies. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spet0114 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 So, do we now have three liveries or two? 1. There is 32-520 - as originally issued in 2007, with multiple later re-issues. (32-521 is the weathered version of 32-520.) 2. There is 32-522 - The 'east coast service' livery, issued a couple of times since 2013-ish. 3. Now there is 32-523 - the West coast service livery. As I understand it, 32-520 represents the loco as preserved. I.e. After it had been withdrawn from service, cosmetically restored (by EE?) and placed in the Science museum. At the time of the launch of 32-522, the differences between it and 32-520 were generally held to be the colour of blue, the extent of the blue around the roof grills / cantrail and possibly the colour of some of the bits of the bogies. What distinguishes 32-523 from 520 or 522? Answers on a postcard please! :-) CheersAdrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
