If you go back to the first post, there is a link to the Dapol original announcement, it is still live and is best to look there as they are producing 6 liveries and these were due to be manufactured in two batches, 3 months apart, so you need to check for your particular version. Mine, the BR crimson is in batch 1, which was estimated to be in production now. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Robin, can you also ask for news on the M and C carriages - they were all due by the end of 2022…. Its a shame that Dapol don’t engage more on here. Even if it was an update and step away, that would be better than their silence. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted November 18, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2022 I think they’re very sceptical of RMweb although Neil was very forthcoming at GETS last month as my photos shewed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys from Ireland as an example, as well as the offshoot company from that crazy Canadian !!! However, I still remember some of the dingdongs on here from a certain chap from the Northwest of England who once worked for Dapol. I think it is all about the persons to be honest Edited November 19, 2022 by Covkid 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 19, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Not everybody likes RMWeb; my (very good) local model shop owners regard us as ‘rivet counters who will moan about anything no matter how good it actually is’. You can please some of the people some of the time, and so on. The characters who run our RTR companies are just that, characters, humans with individual characteristics and (somtimes strongly held) opinions of each other and of our media. It is easy, but simplistic, to think of them as faceless corporate businessmen who cannot see beyond their corporate policies and projects, but they’re not. The tv coverage of Red Box v RoS about the Terriers a few years ago was illuminating; conducted in gentlemanly enough fashion but with seething undercurrents of red-in-toof’n’clore competitive zeal and proprietorial perceptions of who ‘owned’ the right to produce what when of course anyone can produce whatever they like, but at the risk of being undercut or gazumped by a competitor. The risk is why we allow these people to make profits out of our hobby spending choices, but it does not bring out the best in the competitors’ good natures. All fundamentally down to personality clashes, and an inevitable part of the rich tapestry of human existence, model railway department. Dapol gave a particularly ‘interesting’ history involving some ‘colourful’ characters, including their involvement with the aforementioned gentleman from the top left hand corner of England, who may have been a bit dodgy(!), but whose passion and temper, as expressed here, were undoubted!

I apologise to Richard for interrupting his lunch but wanted to ask about timescales for the corridor Toplights . As they are in design at the moment, I gather it will be about a year . Worth waiting for , though judging by the M and C samples on show . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
