RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted September 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2018 Fantastic! I thought this was "in abeyance". Thats the 00 gauge version you are thinking of..... However if sales are good in N then it might help influence those behind said 00 gauge model to re-start their efforts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due Q4 2018 https://www.Dapol.co.uk/shop/preorder/N-Gauge-Preorder It’s difficult to tell from this angle but the body side grilles are still in the wrong place.

It was in abeyance, but it is obviously now going ahead! Think it will be a superb model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted September 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 8, 2018 There seems to have been some increase in price (understandably so) since first announced. £150 for the Loco pack (both locos) £120 for the 1st coach pack (4 coaches) £120 for the 2nd coach pack (4 coaches) £50 for the catering coach pack (2 coaches) Total for the whole lot £440. It's not a model that I will be ordering, and not one that I ever intended to as it falls well outside of my modelling period, but I suspect that it will sell out quickly.

Colossus Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I've just noticed that the prototype is back on the table- very interesting. Do people think the livery of the model (the mainline testing period one rather than research era) will be with post-TOPS 252001 on the ends or the original with just 41001/2 on power cars?

RMweb Gold TomE Posted September 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2018 I think it was the same 3D printed shell that has been doing the rounds for a while now, only sprayed black. Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I really hope this gets sufficient numbers to get the go ahead for production. I want to make two points - constructive comments hopefully! 1. I do wonder if the planned coach packs (four open saloons in each, two first, two second) will put some buyers off because to represent the typical 2+7 formation (2x TF, TRUK, TS, TRSB, 2x TS) you will have 3 spare coaches left over at what works out to be £30 per coach, ie £90 worth of likely unused stock. I can think of uses for some of these spare coaches (repaints etc), and some will be on-sold, but the hassle of this may put some buyers off. 2. Will the “loco-hauled type roof” with 3 roe-vac ventilators be made available as a separate item. Please??!! Preferably with the same fixing arrangements as the existing Mk3 HST roofs, so that we can retrospectively add these to our exiting loco hauled Mk3a coaches. Looking forward to these models if and when they come. Cheers Tom. Edited September 10, 2018 by tiger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomag Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 While the 2+7 formation was used on the WR, for other testing they had different comibinations and numbers of coaches. Why should the rest of us have to align with WR modellers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) While the 2+7 formation was used on the WR, for other testing they had different comibinations and numbers of coaches. Why should the rest of us have to align with WR modellers? True. I plan to model the Prototype HST during its time on the ECML so perhaps I should be bemoaning the lack of RTR Mk1 buffet car in reverse blue and grey running on BT5 bogies... However I am not aware of many (if any) occasions when the formation was 2+8 with 4 TF and 4 TS. I just wonder whether coaching stock packs of 3 trailers in each might have been more economical for potential buyers (potentially encouraging more people to put in the expression of interest and thus increasing the likelihood of the model going ahead) whilst still letting people model most of the formations which ran during testing and in service. Only my (probably flawed) opinion though. Cheers Tom. Edited September 11, 2018 by tiger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
