Guest Jack Benson Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hi, Is it actually possible to pre-order the Dapol B4 on the Hattons website? I can’t seem to find an order form. StaySafe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2021 Running prototypes glimpsed in Adrian’s post in the 66 thread. Hopefully some pics will emerge in the next week or two from Dapol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calidore Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I have a home for one of these under construction already. The announcement was the final push over the edge into 7mm. I was on the way to see these at the SVR today, but then the car decided it had other ideas. Looking forward to some more info coming out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2021 So I guess they will look like the first batch of OO ones as this poster for those. © Dapol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calidore Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 What a purposeful little beast. By rights I should be excited about the BR liveried versions for 'proper modelling' purposes, but the backhead detail in the cutaway cab version is feeling somewhat irresistible already. Having spent many happy hours watching Normandy shuffling about at the Bluebell, the as-preserved model might be a necessary nostalgia purchase.

Pre Grouping fan Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 They look stunning. Tempted by a Normandy for my SR wagons and making a small shunting plank for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted April 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2022 I'll probably hack the chimney off and replace it with a one piece casting - I usually repaint smokeboxes anyway as part of weathering. The join on these Dapol models does tend to look worse in photos than in the flesh but this isn't their smoothest on the face of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebell Boy Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Any updates on delivery schedule for the much anticipated B4? - Also, has anyone seen any pre-production shots of the final 3 liveries (SR 88, LSWR 91 and BR 30089). Searched around the web but not found any updates in the usual go to places. Hopefully they are not too far away now.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
