MarkSG Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Dapol make a lot of special commission and limited edition wagons, eg for clubs, shows, societies, etc (in fact, I suspect it's a significant part of their business model). Does anyone know if there's any definitive, or even reasonably comprehensive, list of all the special commissions and limited editions they've produced?

ANT Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hello MarkSG On the Dapol website I have found the following on the below link: https://www.Dapol.co.uk/special-commissions From the link, by clicking on the gauge you want, takes you to a page of traders that have had special commissions, then clicking on the trader shows details of the trader and the special commissions along with the date that it was released.

MarkSG Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Those are only recent ones, though. I was wondering whether there's a list of ones they've produced in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Hello MarkSG You could try looking at Warners Publishing, Ramsay's British Model Trains Catalogue (9th edition) in 2 volumes by Pat Hammond. Though it covers lots of model railway stock produced over many years, I don't know if it covers special commissions.

chriswrightmk Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Several N commissions in 2018 from Swansea MRc, E Surrey N Gauge group,. Dapols Club Special. several of us enjoy collecting and using Turton's Books for background. Some are fictious liveries of course. I am surprised that more preservation groups do not do commissions as can do short runs. Several done in OO too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
