I've had no contact yet, despite putting my name down for a sound one as soon as I saw them for pre-order at the Museum's yearly Model Railway Exhibition. I am hoping to contact them this coming week but perhaps it's just that the non-sound ones that have arrived so far as I cannot find anywhere that has one of the regular batch with sound in stock yet. Interested to see your photos of your D1000, Suzy Sulzer - always like the half-yellow panel liveries! Thanks, Ixion. I’ve had no contact about my sound one either. Will give it a bit longer and then get in touch with them myself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 56089 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Could be the same as the general release ones that have landed at retailers, they all say sound fitted and DCC fitted versions to follow soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mutley Posted July 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2023 I was there the Saturday before last to pickup a standard DCC ready version and they mentioned that the sound fitted locos were due in 2-3 weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mutley... That makes sense, especially with the general release sound fitted ones not being available too. Cheers, Ixion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted July 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2023 The D1000 for ‘Steam’ also available direct from Dapol. Some good shots of the (presumably) production model too - https://www.Dapol.co.uk/products/4d-003-022-oo-gauge-western-enterprise-desert-sand-syp-d1000?variant=44267586453727 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Crepello, Osborns Models did a non-weathered version some time ago I'm afraid... P/N: NDOSB003 (ref. Hattons database) and a quantity of 200 (ref. Vectis)... I have one in a storage box somewhere! Then, I think probably because they were popular, they did a weathered version as P/N: OSB-012 - which is still available I believe. Sorry to disappoint, though I am not sure if an all sand coloured front (i.e. non-SYP) was ever done as an N-gauge model, which may possibly be an option to add a half yellow front to if they ever do one (any other detail changes aside!)? I think they did an all over maroon one (2D-003-008) but... that was a mistake, I believe!!! Hope that helps? Ixion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d46037 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) My D1000 (dcc/sound) arrived yesterday at midday with the normal postie delivering the letter Mail.I had to sign for it.I think the box is a rehash of the original ten years ago, the picture now shows it with SYP.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted August 3, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 3, 2023 I haven’t even had my notification from Steam that the sound versions are in stock yet. Might have to send an email I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to send an email I think I got a call about a week ago... hopefully you've had one by now. If not, give them a call as they're definitely in stock and I have mine already. The only down side was no sound functions list was provided with my model and I do not appear to be alone with sound fitted versions.. not sure if any have them, though you can work out most by trial and error.

d46037 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Just been reading the Model Rail review of this locomotive. They state that the builders plates are upside down, so I thought I would get the magnifying glass out and look at my model. Sure enough they are indeed upside down. One would think that they could have got that right as it is not a cheap model. Fortunately not noticeable at normal viewing distance,but knowing it’s wrong at some time I will have to remove them and reattach the right way up!

I studied various Masterpiece Western models at the Steam event at Swindon last weekend as well as the real thing D1062 at the SVR over the last couple of days at the Autumn Steam Gala and they were all the right way up. Have also seen pictures of D1015 Western Champion builders plate,also the right way up! Edited September 19, 2023 by d46037 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
