With it being very unlikely that we can blow money on going to shows before then many of us will have had time to save up in the meantime......

Les I admire your optimism! I find that life has a way of noticing you have a little money put together and throws an unforeseen bill at you to redress this. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something to look forward to in these depressing times ! The previously reported order of releases had the Mk1s, bolster E, conflats and 122 railcar ahead of it so can probably gauge from when they actually start to come out. To be honest the only concrete timings we get are once they are at sea and then its about 6 weeks. Until then I tend to take no notice! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piemanlarger Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 My local retailer told me there is no sign or news of this he can find! So I'm presuming easter is not on the timetable ? Least not this year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piemanlarger Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'd love to know this is going to be here for easter as I could make it a birthday present. But my optimism is turning towards a Heljan 61xx sadly ! Maybe a nice kit built one will come up on ebay lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A san chen 45xx has come up for sale so I'm going to see if I can get that? I dont see a Dapol 45xx in next 6 months and unfortunately time is not really on my side so if I can get the sJ at least I can have the pleasure of that this year.

I picked up a professionally made Mitchell for not much more than that has got to but they would both have fetched a lot more until Dapol (and others) £200 locos changed the dial. If the Dapol is comparable in looks to the original Lionheart then at the advertised prices, there would be no contest for me. Either way hope you get your loco!

sidmouth Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 now over £500 . There was a kit built one lurking on ebay , buffer beam had come off ,just doesn't look quite there as a 45xx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've pushed it as far as I dare. Dont think it will be mine tomorrow so just have to hope the Dapol one makes it soon or just keep my eye on Ebay as I dont know anywhere else they come for sale that I can access?

I'm still holding on for Dapol / lionheart to deliver . although a Stanier brake 3rd in BR Maroon was todays distraction 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
