Greenmodelmonkey Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Dapol reports it hopes to post updated drawings toward the end of this month. Did they deliver an update as suggested? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenwall Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The Dapol collectors club magazine which arrived to me yesterday a bit chewed by the Royal Mail (so maybe a bit delayed), but still legible, had a table of status updates which doesn't add much except it is in black and white. '14xx CAD/CAM finalisation about to go into tooling' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted November 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2017 Mine arrived yesterday also.......but pristine, as you say nothing much given away in this edition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm glad I did my comments when I did if it is now "about to go into tooling". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 All seems to be very quiet on the 14xx front ... the 14xx entry on the Dapol digest hasn't been updated since January and I've seen nothing in the magazines recently updating the project. Does anyone know anything about this project? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fezza Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Expect it shortly after Dapol's n gauge Pacer and 50... Love Dapol's products, Not so keen on their comms strategy! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Given Dapol's relatively quick delivery of recent projects (eg thinking of the Jinty) I cannot imagine it will be too long before release. I think(??) the Sentinel is next, so the 14xx is likely to follow that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted July 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) the Sentinel is next, so the 14xx is likely to follow that? The 45xx (can’t remember if this is Lionheart, technically) is also ahead of it so would expect it to be a while yet.

MGR Hooper! Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 All seems to be very quiet on the 14xx front ... the 14xx entry on the Dapol digest hasn't been updated since January and I've seen nothing in the magazines recently updating the project. Does anyone know anything about this project? Given that they are busy pushing quite a few products forward after their low point, I think it's fair to give them some time and space. Their recent models are spectacular. It will be out when it's ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their recent models are spectacular. It will be out when it's ready. Totally agree. The days of saga around the 08 are definitely behind Dapol and their recent products have been superb and delivered relatively quickly. They have really turned things around in recent years and deserve to be congratulated. They have really opened up O gauge to the average modeller (of which I count myself as a very average one) with their affordable and high quality products. Lots to look forward to over the coming months! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

two tone green Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 They now have a good team behind all the development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks all. I was asking because in the recent magazine updates Dapol had posted progress on most of their products, but not the 14xx, which I thought was unusual. ... I think it's fair to give them some time and space. My apologies, I thought Dapol were a model railway manufacturer who would want to keep their customers informed, not some jilted ex-lover It will be out when it's ready. Really, I was rather hoping it would be out sooner than that 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Did anyone who visited the Dapol stand at Telford see any news on this? I wasn't able to go this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simond Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I didn’t see anything, but I wasn’t looking particularly The 45xx was well advanced Best Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbeanray Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I was at Swansea show last weekend and was told by Dapol that it had just gone to tooling and would be at least 9 months yet. They did add that it would be worth waiting for. I ordered months ago so another 9 months is very disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenmodelmonkey Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 ...and I suggest you might like to add another 9 months to this estimate based on past delivery performance. Found this quote from earlier post, Posted by a member on 03 November 2017, which suggests not much movement on this model has been made yet. Note the same comment made about production status at two different times.... "The Dapol collectors club magazine which arrived to me yesterday a bit chewed by the Royal Mail (so maybe a bit delayed), but still legible, had a table of status updates which doesn't add much except it is in black and white. '14xx CAD/CAM finalisation about to go into tooling'" Shame there is no further information, but not a surprise! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenwall Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 In the Dapol collectors club newsletter it suggests the O gauge club special this year (2019) will be 1401 - order form 'to follow'. Any club models remaining after 12 months (2020) will sold to the public at normal MRP. Normally club specials follow on from a normal production run, so 2019 looking good for the announced models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
