Henk van der Kolk Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I think I lost some brain cells too. Because I can't find any reason why somebody writes about those toilet rolls. Is it because I am from the Netherlands, or what? The only thing I know is the lost of some of my dear friends too the bloody virus. But, I didn't wrote about that because this isn't the place for it. So, offend someone else, mr. David. Or better, don't offend anybody on the forum, get a life!

HeavyDuty Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I’ve been inactive for a few years, but the 14xx is enough to reboot my enthusiasm. A small branchline terminus in Devon or eastern Cornwall with a pair of 14xxes, an Autocoach and a few wagons is inspiring, with the goal of building a small layout for exhibition. I’ve been waffling over what version (or versions) to purchase, I generally use Hattons because of their wonderful service shipping to here. One of their representatives emailed me this morning in response to a question and mentioned these are expected to start shipping to customers Wednesday 18th March. Hopefully Narrow Planet will offer number plates for these, because I ended up ordering one numbered and one unnumbered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they come I think their smokebox plate numbers are a bit on the small size personally. The standard cabside plates are fractionally smaller than Dapols moulded surround on the Pannier but they were talking about sharing info on this one.

I think you are right, I preordered the 48xx more then a year ago. But, the loco still isn't there. Two weeks ago I bought a Sentinel for €169,- in Germany. In the UK you even can get it for £119,-. And the Heljan Class 61xx allready for £398,-, about 40% less. So, did I made a very bright dessision? Think not! But, my Narrow Planet headboard came last friday. And I cannot wait to glue it on! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartb Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Been advised that I should get my 14xx on Friday by Tower Models. So something to keep me occupied while I am imprisoned (sorry Quarantined ) in my home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the gwr "patches" slightly raised? Apart from them that's the perfect base for mine but might still be easier to add auto gear to a black 58 Ta Edited March 18, 2020 by Hal Nail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Signaller Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The patches are extremely thin so should be okay to apply over the much faded GWR. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocarolan Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 My 48xx arrived from Tower Models this morning - their usual excellent service. Also happy to see how well Dapol have packaged/boxed this loco, it being screwed into a plastic frame before boxing . Runs v well indeed and looks lovely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2020 Lovely model, I went for the Titfield Thunderbolt edition I’m not so keen on the packing for subsequent reuse though. It’s certainly protected it well from shipping damage so well done Dapol but I’ll have to cut up a few foam bits to wedge it in as regularly handling it to screw it back in every time is more likely to damage bits. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 19, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2020 I've just ordered from Tower. Decided in the current climate I needed boost. They said a few people have reported the couplings fall off (a Dapol trade mark?!) but nothing to worry about. I've also bought a job lot of number plates on ebay - seems to be pretty much all of them bar a few. If they turn out to be a good fit I'll report on here and am happy to share ones I'm never likely to need for a nominal contribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuty Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 My pair of unnumbered black early BR ones shipped from Hattons... they needed to move me from RM to DHL due to parcel size. I am on mandatory work from home, and DHL to my usual PO Box is problematic so I changed the shipping address to the house. I expect to see them Monday or Tuesday.
