70E Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Possibly due to Dapols delay in delivering last years class 52 announcements some retailer out there may be waiting in the wings to announce a special commission of OO - Western Enterprise in desert sand livery with SYP? I missed the STEAM issue with plain ends and would prefer the SYP so was wondering if sufficient interest was shown on the forum to produce one then may be Dapol or retailer might be inclined to produce/commission one? Any other members wanting the same? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig85 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yes I would be interested in D1000 in this Livery, as I too missed the STEAM limited edition. Craig. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photograph used in the CMC adverisment in link it certainly has a GREY pillar. I’m missing it ? do you mean between the two front windows, or the corners ? i see twofront windows, with grey frames, and a grey central pillar ? both look to match the picture to me ?

Yes the corners I see it now, yes they should be Grey (or dirty). looking at Dapol back catalog they’ve done this with Maroon panels twice before... D1029 Western Legionnaire (without Talisman clips) and D1023 Western Fusilier (with Talisman clips), also D1018 Western Buccaneer (also with Talisman clips). D1012, D1065, D1034, D1062 do not have Maroon corner supports, all without Talisman clips. Edited April 27, 2019 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

70E Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 It didn't take long to get side tracked this post is about expressing interest in a desert sand version not CMC maroon version and what colour pillars it has! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2019 Apologies for hijacking, it was a bit about haves vs have nots... the Maroon D1000 is coming. Whilst waiting, it goes without saying Heljan has already done it, https://www.hattons.co.uk/31970/Heljan_5213_Class_52_diesel_D1000_Western_Enterprise_in_Desert_Sand_livery_with_small_yellow/StockDetail.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcwp Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Side-on view: D1000_TivertonJunction_22-5-66_m by Robert Carroll, on Flickr I had a D1000 in desert sand from STEAM museum. It seized up a couple of years ago and the motor burned out! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcwp Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I would be interested in a Dapol D1000 in desert sand with yellow panels but I am suspicious of the Dapol model having had the burn out mentioned above and found the running on some other Dapol Westerns to be suspect. The Heljan one may not be as good a model in terms of shape but my Heljan ones all run OK. I still have my Heljan D1000 too: P1020469 small by Robert Carroll, on Flickr 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got a whole boxed chassis from them for c£35 at Warley, unpainted but everything there except a body... I got a reject body a year earlier for a tenner, not sure what’s wrong with it. not sure what to do with it, one thought was Foster Yeoman or NSE livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted May 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2019 Cheltenham Model Centre had the maroon ltd edition sample on display today. Window pillars are correctly grey rather than maroon as on the previous body sample. A couple of poor phone shots:- 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 7013 Posted May 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2019 Yes I would definitely buy a D1000 in Desert Sand, preferably plain end as I went around Swindon and saw ‘Enterprise’ almost complete in that form, but could easily live with yellow ends Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 the maroon on the CMC models looks very dark- more like the 'wine' colour on West Coast locos. Was it a trick of the camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

97403_Ixion Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Hi, I cannot see it mentioned elsewhere (apologies if so) but this weekend at STEAM Museum's annual exhibition, a model (Dapol) of D1000 in OO was announced in desert sand, with small yellow panels. The following (shop page) is linked to from the STEAM's .org website: D1000 Western Enterprise, Desert Sand Small Yellow Panels Available DC, DCC Fitted or DCC Sound Fitted and limited to 500 models. I think they said it was due later this year and that they will contact people who put their names down nearer the time to confirm their wish to purchase and for payment details when the models arrive. Hope it's of interest to many! Thanks, Ixion. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rembrow Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Just had a text from Royal Mail, advising that they have a parcel for me, on next day, before 1pm Special Delivery.

97403_Ixion Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Has anyone actually received one? If so, with sound? I've had no contact yet, despite putting my name down for a sound one as soon as I saw them for pre-order at the Museum's yearly Model Railway Exhibition. I am hoping to contact them this coming week but perhaps it's just that the non-sound ones that have arrived so far as I cannot find anywhere that has one of the regular batch with sound in stock yet. Interested to see your photos of your D1000, Suzy Sulzer - always like the half-yellow panel liveries! Thanks, Ixion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
