RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted July 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2017 Gutted. I looking to replace my four kit built models of late production batch Baby Warships (D6334 onwards). The Dapol ones have much better detail.Looks like they'll be remaining in service and my £o££€¥ staying in the bank! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted July 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yes disappointed too, I'd have at least 2 of the later body style. Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted July 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2017 The fact that Dapol do not think it viable is not a great start for a crowdfunding project. That is assuming they would be interested, which I doubt. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covkid Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Looks like a new batch of D63xx are in preparation. Five or six bodyshells in a display case at Chirk in various liveries. can't remember off hand but I think there were four green ones and two blue ones. The blue looked spot on, 100% better than the initial batch of these, and the BSYP version may prove to be a weakness for me !!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Painted samples for release later this year. and a few more behind the B4’s Dapol seems on track to become number 2 producer when it comes to delivering on backlog, with 59, B4, GWR 2-6-0/2-6-2t and class 21/9 on track, plus this weekends announcement of the Terrier by Rails, and an almost dead cert slip of the tongue giveaway by a retailer of something else this weekend, plus another almost in the bag suggestion i’m Pretty confident that there’s more announcements in the next few months to come that will be linked to Dapol.

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted March 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2018 The colours do look a lot better. The 73s on show at Ally Pally also looked to be a much closer, if still not correct, match. Speaking with Joel he professed no knowledge of colour-matching issues with the earlier 22s (nor the 73s), nor that bits apparently fall off the 73s just by looking at them. This improvement is welcomed. Because the earlier 22s, especially the blue ones, were well wide of the mark unless considered to be faded and work-worn.

No Decorum Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I wonder if the mechanisms will be upgraded. The old ones were on the noisy side. Not terrible but not a patch on the 68s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Realistic then. The D6300s were noisy. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the BR blue with FYE is the correct blue and yellow and not Dapol's "Class 73 BR blue" I too am interested in a 22 and Western but will not be ordering anything until both colours, and how they compare with the previous releases, have been confirmed.

All you have to do is scroll up this very same page that you scrolled down in order to write that damnin post....to save your finger the strain I’ve put a link below. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/1150-Dapol-class-22/page-61&do=findComment&comment=3101445 I’ve found no issue with the SYP class 73 in Blue, nor the Westerns in Blue, both of which represent the same era, and the Paint samples in the above picture are closer to the SYP 73 and 52 than the 1980’s era 73’s. As the one who took the said picture above I do have the benefit of eyes on the actual model as opposed to the keyboard so maybe i’m marginally better informed. Though I will grant you the earlier BR 1970’s Blue class 22’s were a little greener in hue than I think they should have been, and IIRC the blue full yellow ends in the above picture (very left) also looked that way still... it’s possibly the FYE that gives it that illusion... I suspect (purely a guess untiI I get the new model in the flesh) the SYP is over sprayed on the blue making a darker yellow, and a darke blue where as the FYE is sprayed yellow first then masked, before the all over blue making the both the yellow and the blue lighter.

Yes, I'm well aware of that photo thanks. Personally I'm interested in the later FYE version not the earlier blue with SYP (sorry my post perhaps didn't make that clear). From what you can see of the BR blue I agree it does look better, but colour in photographs can be misleading (especially through glass in that cabinet and different lighting conditions) and so I'd prefer to see old and new side by side to make an accurate comparison before committing to buy.

Wrong size logos. Numbers too low. (Probably due to the model having the driver's name holder which shouldn't be there.) Why are the kick plates below the cab doors silver? Is it too much to ask for these things to be right? Geoff Endacott 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted June 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2018 D6327 bsyp is the same shade of green/blue Geoff http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/55510/4D-012-006-Dapol-Class-22-Diesel-Locomotive-number-D6327 I'm now glad I resprayed my own to this livery a couple of years ago, it looks much better with the correct shade of blue, plus it rectifies the black body side grilles which shouldn't be black either. It was a pig to mask up though. I will be getting a model of D6331 though. Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted June 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2018 All ye of little faith... My half yellow end blue one arrived today and is much deeper blue than its predecessor in FYE. Old and new side by side. I’ve checked the prototype and the double arrow is in this unusual place. Comparison against the western from Dapol. Can’t fault it, at ally pally they both looked the same blue, but I’ve only bought the HYE version today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
