I've been put off by a couple of reviews questioning the quality, basically parts start to fall off them even before they've been taken out of the box. Well the black one I've got runs fine,no problems.Mind you I did get it second hand from Andy P..........! And nothings fell off it ....yet. atb Phil Edited February 22, 2021 by 34006 Additions! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APT Fan Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 1 hour ago, MarshLane said: I am a little baffled by that review unless something has changed in recent months. I have had six of them at different times, in green and blue, all have been perfect, nothing fell off and the detail and running quality of the Dapol model is superb. I'd agree with Andy, for the money they cost, under £200, I'd say go for it if you can afford it and if you want sound and a realistic driving experience, I whole-heartedly endorse the Paul Chetter sound project as (in my opinion) being the best out there. Rich I do fancy sound, do you think its better to add it rather than going for the factory fitted version? Thanks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Add it to the 08 yourself, it will take longer to lift the top off than fit the Chip. Make sure you get the right one so that the lights work correctly and before fitting put a bit of insulation tape on top of the panel so the chip cant touch it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yup totally agree with Andy's comments. Very easy, and personally I think the Paul Chetter project (speak to Digitrains) is better than the Dapol factory sound - but it is all personal perspective. I like the driving style of the Paul Chetter/Zimo projects, very realistic. Rich 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy water Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Hi! Is it time for you to sell 7 mill sidings and create a new layout for the new home? You must have finished all the home improvements and are itching to have a new layout! With all your followers on Rmweb, someone would love to have an iconic layout. A lot more useful than owning the the F.A. Premier league cup or Michael Jackson’s white glove!!!!! Edited February 24, 2021 by muddy water 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my father having a bright orange 3ltr with a black vinyl roof. Lasted about 6 weeks before it got written off ! He told me that he could have bought an E-Type for less on the same forecourt, but, felt, having two young children, that the Capri was more 'Family Orientated' ! Lost him over 20 years ago - would have been his 75th birthday today. Happy Birthday Dad. Regards Andi 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, Your welcome to him mate, He won't do a lot, but is a great guide to getting the height of doorways right, and any fence post you may want to add to the Layout as a leaning height. He is also very flexible and can basically go where he is told, and is happy to give free advice and his thoughts on what your doing. Here he is in action a couple of days ago. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
