Stefen1988 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I wonder if we ever will see the Maunsell Restaurant Coaches by Dapol in N Gauge? What do the customers think - what do Dapol think? Edited February 13, 2020 by Stefen1988 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted February 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2020 Whilst it would be good to see more restaurant / kitchen coaches in N, the market is small so it is unlikely that we will see any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It took Hornby a long time to do one in 00 and they still don't have one for GWR beyond the ancient Railroad one. So if that market is small, you can imagine where the N market is. That said Dapol did do a Gresley buffet so you never know, but probably not in 2020 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Kris Posted February 14, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2020 On a personal note, I would prefer that they did a GWR restaurant / kitchen car. (I still don't expect to see one however). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinTrucks Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) A Maunsell Third Open in N-scale would probably be a better suggestion for a new Dapol moulding. They were physically unchanged during SR Maunsell, SR Bulleid, BR Crimson Lake & Cream and BR Green livery periods. These vehicles were paired with the Maunsell kitchen firsts for most of the latter's lives. Once there is a Maunsell Open Third, asking for a Restaurant First would make more sense.

Stefen1988 Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 The Maunsell Third Open would also open the Way for Maunsell Push-Pull Sets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr chapman Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Restaurant vehicles make more sense in N due to the availability to run longer trains on layouts. That said, some K type pullman's in N would open up a new range of coaches and let you drop one in in a train of maunsell's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
