MGR Hooper! Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 when do Dapol announce their new items ? As and when they feel that an item is at a stage when it is ready to be announced (according to them). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Looks like someone has taken it upon himself to spread his hatred for Dapol in so many places on RMweb... 12 posts so far and almost all showing hatred for a brand. What a pity!If you don't have anything useful other than moaning it's better not to clutter the threads. Yes there are problems with models. Nothing can be perfect. But not everyone wants to listen to your complaints. If you've made a decision to boycott a brand can you please quit telling us your sad stories filled with hatred?

MGR Hooper! Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Mr hooper I've had already had many supporting clicks from established and respected members not least of all from DJM Dave (a man in a position to know). I think that says it all. I'm just reporting my experience with Dapol, OK maybe a couple of gentle snipes but nothing that others havnt posted before. Perhaps you should simply 'disagree' with my posts and while you are here, disagree with all the other posts complaining and questioning what is going on. There are unlikly to be further hate filled posts as product i buy will be from other manufacturers who emply staff who care about customers and develop there own products. However I am filled with a desire to visit Dapol just to see what these people look like. That doesn't mean you continue with cluttering the forum with your sad stories. Least interesting. Lots have had bad experiences with Dapol, but they don't whinge on every topic. Every post of yours clearly shows your hatred. And as far as I can see there is 28,000 members on RMweb. So your "many in support" isn't really many. Please keep your personal bad experiences to yourself. This very topic has no relation to you. Yet you posted unnecessarily. It's okay if you post in a topic relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGR Hooper! Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) so meanwhile back at the post, I hope we hear some news soon. Spoke to Joel who said it was in tooling and they'd have some stuff to show about many models over the next month or so.

BR_Blue_1986 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Is it just the HEA's that are in tooling or the HAA's too? The website says the HAA's are in final CAD/CAM. Can't wait to get my hands on the rake of HAA's I have on order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted August 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2016 Nope, you safe! Not released yet, I'm hoping we might see something or find out more at Warley, but (fingers crossed) won't be too long! I'm looking for a rake (or two!) of the HAAs....

Hi CME, Just to update things, I was talking to Dapol today on several fronts (see my blog in the footer for more in-depth info if you want it) but the HEA/HAA wagons are the next ones to go through the factory so they're saying Early 2017 - Jan/Feb time.

It was only something i knocked together quickly but have been really pleased with the positive comments back from both readers and businesses mentioned, and the fact that its been viewed over 4,500 times!! The idea just came to be on the drive home thinking about everything that I'd been told and found out, seemed logical to share it. Given the superb feedback from everyone, i'm wondering if it can be developed into some small modelling resource now - subject to my spare time!

CME, Just a thought, but if your not already aware of them, do you know about the FNA nuke kits that Buzz Models do? Saw them at Telford. Pic on the blog page I think. I was impressed with their kits and how they went together, although I stress I haven't built one yet! Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted September 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2016 But do BUZZ produce just the normal HEA or the dedicated "cut down and ballasted" HEA wagon? I cannot see much info on their website, it is a bit basic right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the Heljan HEAs that CME was referring to. The list of kits I picked up at the show details: FNA, HAA, MHA, MEA, MFA and IWA (all resin body with white metal under frame), IWA (resin body with white metal bogies) and FFA/FGA white metal body and etch brass under frame.

Rich Thanks for the info. I looked long & hard at the Dapol stand but couldn't see any mention of HEAs, & got distracted by the 08, & forgot to ask about them when I spoke to one of the staff about the 57xx.. D'oh!!

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted September 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2016 Aha OK, thanks for the update...I thought from your blog that BUZZ did the HEA as well as the FNA, I already have three FNAs one from a kit and two from a 3D scan from a 4mm FNA and then printed in resin while I was working (had the latest resources then ), all I need is a few barrier wagons to make the set.

Hi fellas, I have asked - via email - Buzz models if they will be - or are - doing a modified HEA (barrier wagon for FNA trains) and I await their reply.

Richard Pike Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Anyone heard anything regarding the pending release of the HAA and HEA ?., I have quite a large number of HAA's on order with an expected delivery of early spring, provided by my supplier but it appears difficult to get any official release date from Dapol.

From facebook HEA's are due about August in time for Telford with the HAA's afterwards around December, according to Joel at Dapol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
