RMweb Premium steam-driven boy Posted December 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hi Just noticed the actual DCC Supplies special edition green wasp stripes has a black radiator whereas the Dapol Digest colour picture shows a yellow radiator.... Why has it changed? Not happy as I was expecting a yellow one as originally shown on Dapol Digest! See link below....https://digest.Dapol.co.uk/forum/o-gauge-models/locomotives/class-08/312-class-08-special-edition-for-dcc-supplies Recent reply to that query on the Dapol Digest Andy Dapol commented 11 minutes ago The Back grill was corrected from yellow during artwork revision. DCC Supplies have show the latest artwork on their site for a while now. I did post a link to the DCC Supplies website page on my post a couple of days ago, but as with so much interweb 'virtual ephemera' it no longer links.

kirtleypete Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Mine arrived this morning; it was a bit too clean for my liking! I'm hugely impressed with it, well worth the long wait. Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted December 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2016 My first venture into O. Wow! The blue one was my first venture into O four weeks ago, that's now resulted in most my 4mm stuff being sold, a new 7mm 40, a 37 & Peak on pre-order and my green 08 arrived today, it's addictive!

90rob Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 ...I suppose I should point out that there is a small problem with D3219 in that (at least in 1963) the original had black coupling rods and red cranks and not the other way around as on the model (picture page 49 in Diesels on the Southern by Michael Welsh of a very clean condition in Brighton shed yard) but that certainly is not going to worry me, and at this size it will be so easy to correct if I ever do get precious about it! I think that that one picture is going to inspire my shunting plank.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delticfan Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 My green un numbered with wasp stripes arrived from hattons today, great service. First impressions were the livery isn't as good as the blue. The green for me is way too dark and the black surround to the radiator will need spraying yellow, also the br emblem looks like one of those faded ones, its very light. Anyway I've decided to tops number it so plenty of weathering will sort out the green and the light emblem will look realistically faded so I'm sort of happy. Not bad for £169. I just hope they sort out the livery for the next release. Holding out hope for a class 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbb Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 My model D3219 arrived today and runs very sweetly indeed under DC. Only one of the marker lights comes on going forward, the upper one. Is this correct -the instructions suggest under DCC ALL the lights come on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmodelmonkey Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) The original artwork was still on the Tower website this morning. Also the DCC website has shown a black radiator for a long time now.Steve[/quote Yes agreed for the Tower site but they don't show the black radiator suround either. The DCC website has shown a part finished body for some time but what may look like a black radiator front is just an empty black hole where the radiator moulding will eventually be fitted so assumption was that it would be yellow as in the Dapol artwork. The Photos on site at moment we're put on in last couple of days and shows what product actually looks like now it's in stock. I purchased based on the Dapol artwork which I now understand from today was incorrect and it was yellow. .There has neve been any indication as to the reason for change unless someone can point me in the the right direction please.

There aren't any sparesand it states this in the Instructions as they are all fitted. Exactly the point I was making in response to earlier posts - there are no spare items as there aren't supposed to be any and this is quite clearly stated in the accompanying paperwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct you need the appropriate decoder and you can control them all using function keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Mine does that too. I have no red rear lights - should they work under DC? Shunting lights work OK on DCC but will need a rewire to get them to work on analogue DC. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliebanger Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Mine does that too. I have no red rear lights - should they work under DC? If you mean white markers at the front with red tail lamps for mainline running, then no, the lighting is not set up to acheive such a status. Major rewiring will be required. If you want full control when you have done this, then DCC is required. Kind regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
