RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted December 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2019 The latest issue of the Dapol Collectors Club has a feature about a new member of staff (Ben Davies) starting an apprenticeship as a CAD Engineer. His current project is "working on a new range of injection moulded O Gauge building kits, starting with station buildings, but the range will grow over time " As far as I can recall, this hasn't been mentioned anywhere before . . . ?

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted December 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hi Mike, these were mentioned at the Dapol open day a couple of months ago. They are LSWR based if I recall correctly, certainly Southern put it that way. They are being designed like the originals in a modular format so you can build them with doors, windows etc in different positions. Cheers, Ade. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Very interesting development, but Southern is way off my patch. I plan to make my buildings from a combination of Scalescenes and LCut. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it is possible the project got derailed by Covid. If I was building a layout (oh, wait I am) I would look at other sources of buildings rather than wait for Dapol.

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted December 12, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2021 I made the original announcement but I can't give any further information because soon after that, Dapol closed the Collectors Club and so no more little news items (or cheap stock either ! . 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
