Merlin242 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Great choices and the Dapol range is now starting to look very impressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Particularly interested to see the crankpin on spoke wheels used in the initial Prairie drawing. Wonder if those could be swapped over to use on the Heljan 47xx, and vice versa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Derails Models Posted December 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2017 Indeed, just seen this myself. Bullet points for those unable to see the above: 6 variants of GWR Mogul, of the 5390-7321 number series. 7 variants of GWR Large Praire 5101 class Both expected Q1 2019 Features for both include next 18 decoder with 'no-tool' fitting through the smokebox door, firebox glow, and all wheel pickup.. Looks like I've got a busy little day listing this little lot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted December 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2017 Well, that's good news indeed. A quite large portion of pre-Christmas cheer. I'll be in for 2 of these. Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Stannard Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I still have two of the Mainline versions that are operational one of them with outside steam pipes, depending on how good the Dapol versions are I might be tempted to replace them.

woodenhead Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Well even if Hornby and Bachmann go all LMS and LNER this year (doubt it) I now have something to look forward to in the coming year and these two were high on a few people's lists.

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted December 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Could not be better news I am reduced to .... Somewhat impressed by this announcement. It seems that we were posting about the large prairie just a few short months ago. Then- Whoosh!. It would appear that gentle leading & polite persuasion & discussion pays dividends. I wonder what else we can 'persuade' to be made? Nice one Dapol. Ian. Edited December 15, 2017 by tomparryharry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rembrow Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Hoping that the dates stated for the final cads arriving, of Quarter 1 2019 is an error and should be Quarter 1 2018, as clearly they have carried out research and are showing early cads. Clearly Dapol are showing a big statement of intent by trampling on Bachmann and Hornby for these two. They have been catching up on their 'oo' gauge back catalogue for the last couple of years and all previously announced models are tooled or in tooling, apart from the Turbot wagons, so there was a concern about whether Dapol would continue in 'oo' gauge, with its big commitment to 'O' gauge - well here is the answer.

Tricky-CRS Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I think it is meant to mean, awaiting final CADs, model due Q1 2019 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I would have thought there would have been an unlined black version of the prairie. Would be interesting if both Hornby & Bachman announce the same models! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted December 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2017 Many congratulations to Dapol on these announcements! In the results of The Wishlist Poll 2016, both the Mogul types appeared in The Top 50 - the Churchward version coming in at overall 7th position and the Collett at 26th. (Our draft Poll Guide for 2018 had already combined them with a note to say that this was how we felt a manufacturer might approach them.) The Prairie was only just outside The Top 50 at 54th.

County of Yorkshire Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Superb! Dapol are sweeping up a few of the remaining GWR mid-twentieth century locos to be done to 21st century standards! Think that just leaves a new Saint, Manor, Hawksworth County and the 15/16xx pannier to be done now - all other (steam) classes you could expect to see anywhere on the GWR system on 1st January 1948 are now available - or planned to be available soon - to modern standards. . Congratulations Dapol; if these are good models you'll rake it in - I'd need three of each alone.... One wonders if this 'out of the blue' announcement - with no build up - is a result of Chirk catching wind of news to come out of Barwell and Sandwich in January...?
