YesTor Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Are the lamp irons/hooks at the correct end? Yes, thankfully they are. In actual fact, looking at the first set of Freightliner MJAs with the lamp-irons on the wrong end and I am pretty convinced that it is the main body that has been assembled the wrong way around. So I am wondering if it might simply be a case of disassembly and re-assembly, as everything about the main body of the wagon appears to be symmetrical - aside from the buffer beams that is (which again I am not sure if these can actually be separated at all). All that said, I am struggling to decipher just how these wagons may be disassembled at all, as everything appears quite tightly put together. Has anyone attempted this I wonder?

Looking carefully at Hatton’s pictures, I thought that the lamp irons had been corrected. Well done, Dapol! Like you, I looked at the wagons, wondering if it would be possible to turn the bodies but decided to leave them alone. It would be interesting to know if some skilful person has managed it. I’d be sure to wreck the wagons if I tried. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Hi everyone, I’ve just had my 3 new packs of MJA’s collected from Crafty Hobbies in Barrow, great prices and always happy to keep what I need until I can send my mum in for them although today straight out the delivery box. Superb service. With the 4 original packs that’s a train load of 14 boxes without having to renumber - Dapol are turning out some great wagons and well priced too. Thanks Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I do like the GBRf one's, something about the colour, hopefully more to come... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Had 4 packs of the N scale models turn up today. Really quite nice, definitely one of their better wagon models. Nice that the inside isn't white, unlike the Falcon and Mussels. At Hatton's prices these really are a steal. 32 quid for a pair, so 16 quid a wagon. If doing wagons in pairs means we get better prices due to reduced packaging or whatever, yes please! Next...something common user (VTG owned perhaps) and for a similar price please. What about the new JNAs (and similar MMAs), eh Dapol? Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won't be adding to my 7 though, although maybe could get away with another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Thinking about it the price is quite astonishing for this type of wagon Dapol have produced compared to what we're shelling out these days on other wagons, you literally would be hard pressed getting a single high quality wagon like this for less than £40. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well I've joined the HIA bandwagon and managed to scrounge up 3 previous releases (1x Green & 2x Whites) for less than £30 each by trawling the web and will pre-order these 6 new releases...again well done Dapol on the price 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
