Giles Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 i too saw it, and was very impressed. The bonnett appears to have the correct taper, so far as I could tell. I'm greatly looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDP4D Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hi At Telford today Dapol had a few initial bits of the 08 on show. All the best K Thanks for sharing that...looks lovely! I wish Dapol did an un-painted version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmoor_vale Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks for sharing that...looks lovely! I wish Dapol did an un-painted version. A un-painted version is even my wish. I would like to create this version: Here in Germany we have a small, but steadly growing community of British 7 mm modellers. At least three Terriers are now in Germany, and we hope the best for the future.

F-UnitMad Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Any news on any other stuff from Dapol?Dunno, but we can start taking bets on how long...A ) this particular "Dapol 08 Thread" lasts before getting locked.... B ) how long before the sample pictured is ripped to shreds by the Experts.... The buffer housings look a tad short for starters.... (I'm kidding, ok? Let's go wild & assume it's a pre-production sample, not final tooling ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickstart Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi Seems they hope to have the painted preproduction examples in time for Warley. All the best K 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi Seems they hope to have the painted preproduction examples in time for Warley. All the best K That sounds like very positive news and real progress. Best of luck to Dapol and I am sure it will be worth the wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonetown Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I would like to create this version: Not necessary anymore. According to Tower Models, Dapol added the BR Black livery to the first batch. Great news to my ears! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR_Blue_1986 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Looking forward to the 08 but even more so for the HAA's (I'm after a full rake). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Looking forward to the 08 but even more so for the HAA's (I'm after a full rake). Seriously? That's about £2000 worth of stock! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR_Blue_1986 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Unfortunately it isn't cheap, but it's that or build a full take of wagons.. Which I do not have the patience to do! Haha. I have access to a layout where I can run then which is a bonus until I build an outdoor track (been meaning to for years!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Received an email from Liverpool today: Hello We thought you may like to know that an item you have on order with us, on order id 1611291, has had some information about its release date added or updated. Dapol 7D-008-001 Class 08 diesel shunter 13115 in BR green with early crest and no yellow warning panels £169.00 Our latest information from the supplier suggests this item will arrive with us between April 2016 & June 2016 Whilst we are hopeful this information is accurate, manufacturer lead times are frequently prone to be delayed.

F-UnitMad Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Received an email from Liverpool today:...I also pre-ordered with them way back when, & prompted to check by your post have indeed had the same email. However as my local model shop has matched 'discount' O scale prices from both the Liverpool and Blackpool Emporia, I would much rather support my local shop instead. In a dillema....

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted October 13, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2015 Apologies if i've missed this somewhere, but does anyone know what decoder Dapol are planning to use in their '08' ... or what they use in other locos? I'm after a second example (have the Bachmann one already) and debating whether to order one with sound, or just a standard and add my normal Zimo sound decoder to it? Any thoughts?

Giles Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The sample on view at Warley today was impressive...... The buffers looked to be of the correct longer type, cranks looked nice - I'm tempted to order a second! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
