mercig studios Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Are you referring to the current 47 or the previous Poole original? Hi Yes it's the latest version M Edited October 8, 2012 by mercig studios Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account 2 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Is it just me? or do the Dapol cabside windows look narrower than the Hornby ones... (keep in mind that by narrow I mean the height of the window) Dapol look like they made the window to high up thereby making it look smaller. You can try and check other pictures if the circles that I do interfere. The Dapol version looks little odd because of those windows, from the base of the body to the window (chasis not included) the Dapol version looks taller or longer whichever you prefer - whereas the Hornby looks more prototypical.

mercig studios Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The Dapol version is a representation of the Romanian built locos that had a different window arrangement to the later Doncaster built locos as represented by the Hornby model: Romanian: http://www.martinbray-ukloco.com/images/class56/56028-gwentdemo-280195.jpg later built: http://www.martinbray-ukloco.com/images/class56/56045-margamd-191097.jpg 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted May 25, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi Well a 56003 in Loadhaul graces the N Diesel2 DDC trainset and lovely it is too! Hopefully sales will blossom giving a dcc on board boost. The three telecscopic wagons are normal production ones but lovely all the same. Well worth the a look and I am sure traders will split sets in time. Cheltenham models have done so already and sold out. roll on the UK bodied ones..

N Gauge David Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Could Dapol Dave confirm what liveries the Doncaster 56's will be available in. Hattons only list EWS, but I'm thinking this can't be right? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted May 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2013 David et al, Liist copied over from Uk body thread Rails of sheffield have listed : 2D-004-005 56089 in EW&S ( D suffix also for DCC fitted for all four versions 2D-004-006 56070 BR blue 2D-004-007 56090 Large logo Blue 2D-004-008 56056 construction centre. 2D-004-009 56103 Colas - preprod model 56094 wrong handrails/headlamps In set NDiesel2 the DCC you get 56003 in almost preserved livery - should be oval buffers for main line running and handrails were split over a square headlamp - both ends eventually. Grills still nor Romainian square mesh so better suited to load haul batches 56031 - 55 but buffers still to change. - small details to change a lovely model as said and runs a treat No prices given just TBA . Hope this helps Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted May 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hi David and Dave , Thanks for correction re Colas ! If you have a quick trawl through Dapol subforum there is a thread about UK bodied class 56 locos where I had copied by entry re loco details so useful gen on there - some mine but quite a bit of good stuff from others - showing the great number of variations for Dapol Dave to be going at / avoiding. Amazing in just 135 how BREL managed to change the build and subsequent variations - who would be a manufacturer- er thanks Dave ! Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium richierich Posted October 24, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2013 Was just thinking if anyone knows if it was possible to obtain the Loadhaul Class 56 which Dapol issued, but only as part of a DCC Train Set, without the train set . . . . . ?

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted October 24, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hi Sorry to report when asked this Dapol staff said at this time no but you never know in the future. I still look forward to the arrival of these locos soon - please ! Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rang Dapol and asked about this when it first came out and the answer was no, I bought the set to get the loco and will probably sell the set on at a later date. I noticed last week there was a Loadhaul 56 on ebay and it sold for £75 ish. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
