RMweb Premium Kris Posted March 11, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2021 Dapol have announced that they are going to make an announcement of a new model at 10:45 on the 13th March. No clues or ideas given but details will be in their news section and presumably at the World of Railways virtual exhibition. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamingWales Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 "Lion" In all seriousness a GWR 2251 would seem kind of logical to me given their recent GWR trend and success with Mogul and upcoming Prairie and Manor 5 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdvle Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I would guess something non-GWR, they will want to avoid trying to sell to the same sub-set of modellers with every release. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcement of an announcement; shades of Dave Jones However, I imagine this one will be more felicitous. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter? Does anyone care? In any event I am looking forward to the announcement. Dying to know if Dapol are going to announce Dave's return lol 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) How is this different to Hornby setting a date and time for a batch of new announcements or the Bachmann "this is the date we are going to announce the next quarter"? Other than Dapol being smaller and having a smaller team getting each project ready for announcemnet then release? To give an advance warning of an important announcement is an eminently sensible way of making sure people are paying attention - and not the month or so for RMWeb users to get their underwear in a twist frothing about it...

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted March 11, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2021 In all this “announcing” furore.... can I check, is it a BIG announcement, or a moderate announcement?

If we’re going to be precise and Teutonic, not to mention correct, then it should be Grüß Gott. Anyway, if the announcement isn’t a Class 59 in N Gauge I will throw some toys out of the pram and then, after a period of reflection, get them back in again ready for next time. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dapol are producing a class 59 in N gauge. hoping for a class 88 or class 73/9 in N but unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Hornby'll announce it next year, then say that they've been working on it since 2015. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
