Titan Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just wondering if there will be a representation of the strengthener half way along each radiator slat, as seen here: Bachmann did not bother: But interestingly for all it's faults, the Lima Deltic did: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I feel the operator playable sound decoder samples should include the "Oh yeah" that concludes Satchmo's 'Wonderful World'. 1 hour ago, RedgateModels said: That market (for DP1) has been saturated by the NRM/Bachmann version. There were examples selling at Warley for £150, quite a bit lower than the dizzy £200 odd that they were going for in the early days on eBay. At launch it was between this model and Hornby's 60 for best OO diesel on the market. Had Bachmann executed all their BR diesel traction models with equal finesse there would have been fewer opportunities for competitors to offer significant improvement. 2 hours ago, paulbb said: ... did Heljan satisfy the DP2 market...not bad but it did have a few wrinkles Whole new body to tool, for a short time in service two livery rarity. Big ask when a great many of those interested will already have purchased the Heljan model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pointy windscreens (amongst the other numerous issues) on the Heljan example are awful. Really wanted an 0 gauge version but every time I look at it.............na. No way.

An Accurascale O gauge Deltic or 37 mirrowing the sublime accuracy of the 4mm version would be irresistible 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Fran, the 'OO Standard bar' has just been raised quite substantially by Hatton's new 66. Can't wait to see how much further up you push the bar with the Deltic .... !! Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
