Dapol 57XX

Ok, so I don't model the West, but after seeing pre-production photos of the new Dapol 57XX, I have to have one. I have always had a soft spot for Panniers. I blame Duck (if anyone catches that reference).

 

At about 50 GBP, I will definately be pruchasing one. And I think I might even build it a home on a small GW terminus while I build my larger GCR layout which never seems to get off the ground.

 

Dapol Dave.... any more photos of this stunning little engine and when it will be available?

 

Best of all, I read it has DCC capability! Is this confirmed?

 

This one looks like a true winner.

Dapol had 4 liveried samples on display at TINGS. All of which were utterly beautiful.

 

Perhaps the most impressive feature though was how imple it was to DCC chip the loco. Hook the cab off, remove blanking plate, insert chip, clip cab back on. DapolDave could do it in 7 seconds. Overall the chipping method appears almost identical to the new Class 20 from Farish, which is the same kind of theory. Also worth pointing out, you cannot see the chip in the cab from eye-level.
