Do you by any chance have any of the loco connected to the trailer showing exactly what joins to what? Unfortunately that's one thing I dont have all the times I visited Didcot it was either in or out of the shed and not joined to anything unfortunately I do know that the object under the box is an electric connection that joins the loco to the trailer electrically though there is a mechanical connection via the mechanism that has a chain on between the steam heating pipe and the coupling it may be for the regulator but I stand corrected if I'm wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold markjj Posted November 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2019 Not my photo but I found this which shows the connections perfectly. I hope it helps. The photo came from this site which explains exactly how it all connects and works. If the photo infringes any copywriter mods please remove it the photo is 2/3 of the way down the page linked http://citytransport.info/Steam-MU.htm 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Just for the record- Dapol (and Andy Forty in particular) were awarded the Gwyn Humphreys Award for Innovation at Warley this morning for the "no tools" method of DCC sound installation which is in the 14/48xx, which I understand are "due shortly".

I have plenty more taken around this loco inside and out if you want to check anything else.... Good stuff. Fulfills my detail fetish. I did not realise there was so much to it, Thanks much.

GNR Dave Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The chap I spoke to on the Dapol stand at Warley said these were on board ship and he seemed confident they would be in the shops by Chr*****s. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted November 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2019 Tower update from Dapol posted after Warley: "The Dapol 48xx / 14xx and 58xx are in production and progressing nicely but with no confirmation as of yet as to whether they will be air freight in or sent via sea freight when they are completed in December."

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2019 Dapol emailed this to club members this week. HI, We are hoping to have this Special Edition Loco – 14XX, exclusive to Club Members only, delivered into us about the middle of December. Please note – if you are ordering a chipped version we cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Signaller Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Dapol phoned me yesterday to confirm by bank details for my 1401 with sound, she said they where being air shipped to the UK and said “they are telling people they’ll have them by Xmas”.... Who knows???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fezza Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 It seems everything has gone quiet on the arrival of these locos. I am right to assume that no news is bad news and they won't appear until the new year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7007GreatWestern Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 According to Tower Models website not expected until after Christmas/New Year now:- "Latest from Dapol is that the first four liveries have just been completed in China are are undergoing quality checks which should be completed tomorrow. The factory has confirmed that it is now too late to get them here before Christmas even if they were flown in so it is looking like early in the New Year before we will receive the first of these.

Which ties in with what Hattons advised me by email on the 2nd September 2019. Dapol 7S-006-021U Class 14xx 0-4-2T in BR black with early emblem - unnumbered. Our latest information from the supplier suggests this item will arrive with us between January 2020 & March 2020. Whilst we are hopeful this information is accurate, manufacturer lead times are frequently prone to be delayed. Geoff 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
