RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted September 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nothing shown yesterday that we had not seen before. I do recall that they will be made in the UK factory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 There was reference to additional versions to cover later (or earlier?) liveries being designed into the tooling. I think this might have generated a comment about it causing the tooling to take longer. They ARE to be made on the expensive new Injection Moulding machine at Chirk. It might have been these that were going to "start production as soon as the tools have been delivered from China", though it might have been one of the other new models in O gauge.

Henk van der Kolk Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Is there any news about the Stroudley 4 wheelers? Hopefully it wasn’t a wrong move to sell the brass Roxey Moulding kits. Edited November 27, 2019 by Henk Visscher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted December 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2019 The latest issue of the Dapol Collectors Club magazine has more information. The first to be available (no date given) will be varnished mahogany livery with others to follow. I wonder if they are going to copy Hattons lead with their 'Generic' 4mm coaches that will appear in a number of different colours? A set of three coaches (2 brake and 1 all 3rd) will be available to Collectors Club members for £230. Mike 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin High apparently which I think is possibly why hattons have brought forward their LBSC Genisis coaches to the first batch after initially announcing them for batch 2. It makes a lot of sense with the research for these coaches to redraw them for 4mm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going to produce them in 4mm scale it will be interesting to see if there is still a market for them after the demand has been hit by a fictional model in LBSCR livery.

Richard Lee Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Can't speak for others, but I will be keeping an eye open for Dapol Stroudley 4-wheeled coaches in OO. If I remember correctly, Hattons will be doing their coaches in the umber LBSCR livery rather than Mahogany (which is what I would tend to expect with locomotives in Stroudley Improved Engine Green). I have pre-ordered some of Hatton's coaches in SECR livery for my SECR liveried Terrier to pull. At the moment, I use mahogany painted resin kits for my IEG liveried Terriers, but I imagine that Dapol can make better looking coaches than I can. Whatever happens, I want my LBSCR coaches to look a bit different from the SECR ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted March 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) The two factual updates we have are drawings expected end of q1 2020. (i.e about now) and these are to be built in the UK, commencing shortly after that. Given the current emergency I would imagine the Chirk factory is shut down for the safety of the workforce? I'd imagine significant delay.... Edited March 27, 2020 by colin penfold Addendum 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piskey Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 A few weeks ago I found a web page (I thought it was on the Rails of Sheffield's site) with some pre-production photos of these coaches, but I cannot for the life of me find it again. Does anyone know if it is still up on the Internet, and if so, what the URL is please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piskey Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I have indeed, and there are hundreds of entries where I've been unsuccessfully searching for the page. When I have a bit more time I suppose I'll have to go through them all again though it seems that if it were in fact on the Rails site that the page has been taken down. If it was another site then I've no idea where to start! :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piskey Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well, I've been through everything and can't find where I saw the coaches, which as I recall was just a page of their own, though I wouldn't put any money on it! I'll try asking Rails. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piskey Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I contacted Rails though that was a dead end. Had a pretty quick response of: "I don't think we did, if we had these listed they would still be there." Strange. I'm 99% sure it was a Rails page, and there's no sign of the page on any other site, so if it were there it obviously isn't any more. Can't remember how long ago I saw it, late April/early May perhaps? Oh well, no doubt there'll be something to look at closer to a production date. They did look good.

Pre Grouping fan Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Tower models have posted an update with these on their homepage with a full range breakdown on a separate page. Loads of different versions with lit and unlit coaches in the Mahogany livery only initially but a very reasonable rrp and even more reasonable pre order price. http://www.tower-models.com/ 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnylinny Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Interesting to see that they're offering Mainline and Suburban versions. However they appear to have made a bit of a slip-up. While the Suburban Stroudleys came in Brake Third (D34), Third (D33), Second (D32), 1st/2nd Composite (D31) and First (D30), the Mainline range didn't feature a First class with four wheels - the full Firsts were six-wheelers (D37) with four compartments. I note the running number given for the 4-wheel First is given as 572, which should be a 6-wheel D37. There were also other differences - the Suburban Second-class carriages had 5 compartments, while the Mainline ones had 4. although the tooling for the 4-wheel Thirds (both types) should do for the Suburban Seconds, while the Suburban First should do for the Mainline Second. Here's hoping that if they are doing the D31/D41 composites they don't fall into the trap of using the First bodyshell with its 4 equally-sized compartments... I know I nearly made that mistake! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coeurdelyon Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi SL, Many thanks for your comment regarding the main line First class carriages. This is a mistake on my behalf, so we are cancelling the All First D37 and replacing with a Second class D43 number 456. Thanks again.
