DapolDave Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi everyone, Both BR Blue and BR green class 27's have gone out to the press for review. However for some reason the BR green review models left China with green roofs. Please don't worry, as I have explained to the press, the production ones shipped do gave grey roofs.

DapolDave Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hi everyone, Blue class 27's have now started to be dispatched to stockists. Some in fact, should have them by now. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreamnos Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Was notified today by Hattons it now has the blue 27 in stock. No word yet on the green ones. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n-gauge Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Quick question for Dave - I've seen conflicting information about the livery of the new class 27, ND205B. I'm hoping that it has full yellow ends which includes the side cab windows in a similar fashion to the BR blue version - is this correct? Its a complicated story but I need it to look different enough from the class 26s I have in green (one with small yellow panel ant the other all green) George.

scruff Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 A big thanks to Dave and the team at Dapol. I picked up 2 blue 27's this weekend and they are superb! Thanks again.. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian b Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Got my blue 27 last Friday and its a little stunner! Unfortunately its had to head back to a Liverpool based retailer today as the white lights at one end weren't working. Can't wait to have another back soon!!!

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted January 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi My pair landed today and look very good both up for renumbering for 27/1 and 27/2 PP locos. Will have to check cabside windows to select ones with sloping slider or perhaps reglaze - quick look in "seventies spotting days- around the SCR looks like 27/1 and /2 locos had conventional drop windows so a little mod will be in order plus two bits of micro strip on battery box covers - but lovely runners. So another well done Dave from me. Robert Shrives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham R Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 My 27 arrived from Hattons today, thankfully the Swiss customs gave it the magic green sticker, so no import duty or (the real killer) customs service fee. Living away from easy access to UK model shops and shows, I am often unsure exactly what body and bogie variants come with each new release order code. To help anyone in the same position, here's a picture of both sides of the 27 as it came out of the box ... and for good measure a couple of 26s. (The top one's wheelsets have already been to the 2mmSA's wheel-turning lathe for a quick reprofiling). Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian b Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 OK, thats 2 Blue 27008s that i've tested this week with the same problem- all the lights work fine when I quickly run the loco up and down. I oil it and run it in at half speed as per instructions and when I go to run it in reverse half way through the white lights are exceptionally dim on the leading end. I've got a lot of Dapol models (inc 2 26s) and have never had any issues with them so it can't be the layout!!! Been assured by someone at Dapol that I spoke to today that there are no issues with the batch so hoping the third one that Hattons are forwarding to me brings me more luck! Wouldn't be so bad except its a belated Christmas present and a loco i've had on order for months... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi Ian, Sorry to hear of the problem and I don't know why it should be the case. If you want to send them back to me directly I'll personally check out another pair and send them back. Please PM me, and on Monday (cos I cannot remember now) I'll send you our free post address for them. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu from EGDL Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi Ian; Hope Dave sorts you out...it is a good gesture from him to take personal charge of your problem. I aim to pick up one (maybe 2) next week, so I'll be sure to watch them closely whilst running in!! Later; STU from EGDL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi Stu, Please do, as believe it or not I value your opinion ;-) I'd like to keep a close eye in this potential problem, as the lighting units are pretty much the same as the 26.

Cheers Dave This is what I like about Dapol, listening to their customers and interacting with them on a personal level. It does give a certain reassurance to anyone purchasing any of their products.
