Guest Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Suggested this to another manufacturer in another thread but maybe a range of TTA/TTB/TUA tankers (either chemicals or petroleum). As well as other related types in either in the four-wheeled or larger bogie variety. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/privateownerchemicaltank Initially for 00 but I imagine those modelling in N or O would be interested too!

The Black Hat Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Thinking about this again... why do I think that an 00 gauge 220/221/222 would be good from Dapol.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ben Dapol Posted October 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 Hi everyone. Thanks for the suggestions, It's always good to hear what people have to say. I obviously can't give too much away about what we've got in the pipeline, other than there are several exciting projects underway. You're all going to have to wait and see... 18 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective I appreciate Dapol's (and Lionheart) continuing offerings in O Gauge and that is where my interest and custom lies . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Scale Class 22, please - and hurry up about it!! 😉😝🤣🤣🤣 The Dapol N & OO Class 22s are highly esteemed models. O Scale seems a no-brainer - it's a big gap in the market.

OFFTHE RAILS Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 It's now 11 years since Dapol announced their intention to produce N gauge models of the Bulleid West Country/Battle Of Britain pacifics in both air-smoothed and modified form.............

toby_tl10 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Given Dapol's competent quality and competitive pricing as demonstrated in the GWR Mogul and Manor (unlike the Terrier or the D Class), I'd say Dapol is ready to take on any steam loco project (given consistent quality of course). What do I want from Dapol (or in general)? Anything Eastern Region, particularly the J6, E4, B16 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 In O gauge some more DMUs please class 101 would be great although as others have said please sort the motor mechanism. I guess 2 x tiny motors in the bogie means no intrusion into the body but the motors fight each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted October 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 9, 2022 I have spent some time thinking about this. I would like to see Dapol further develop their Toplight range to include main line coaches rather than just the city ones. I would also love these to (the mainline ones) to be done in N Gauge. They would fit well with the Colletts and GF's Hawksworths. They would allow variety and could be seen being hauled by many of the GWR locos that Dapol already produce. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7007GreatWestern Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) O Gauge GWR 2251 class please! Here are some reasons why..... 1. A small but powerful tender engine with a very wide route availability. Equally at home pulling a pair of non-corridor coaches on an 'all stations' stopper on the one hand and one the other hand hauling a prestige express train while adorned with a 'headboard'! (I'm thinking specifically of the Cambrian section). ...hauling a named passenger train...... https://www.transporttreasury.com/p962799968/ea346cd53 assisting the Civil Engineers with track relaying.... https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p384975830/e2d0bee92 THE perfect small tender engine for a branchline. A scene like this is something you could reproduce in model form without needing vast amounts of space...... https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p384975830/eb9b6a149 Only got space for very short trains? https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p384975830/e12113067 2. Despite being called 'Collett Goods' they were true mixed traffic engines. Importantly, they had a long service life and will be of use to those modelling the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s:- 1930s - heading a train composed almost entirely of Clerestory stock..... https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p384975830/ef7ddd7ef 1965 - still in service over thirty years later on account of their shear usefulness.... https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p384975830/ed079137f 3. The most difficult aspect of depicting the class in model form is the great clearance between the high-pitched boiler and the frames. This makes the inside connecting rods and inside motion very visible. This is normally a challenge for any modeller. However, Dapol demonstrated with their 57xx pannier that they are more than capable of producing a very pleasing, working representation of 'inside motion'. 4. The 2251s were the ONLY GWR type I am aware of that worked on the Somerset & Dorset - and we know how many S&D layouts there are...... ...on the S&D...... https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p384975830/ef75bb0ce ...they also wandered off-region occasionally, most notably onto the Souther region as far as Southampton... https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p384975830/ea52209e 5. Tooling up a 2251 would open up the opportunity to tool up several tender variants, some of which were common to other GWR classes that Dapol might want to release in O gauge in future.... 6. Will complement almost all of Dapol and Lionheart's O gauge rolling stock. 7. Looks and performance. A quintessentially British, exquisite little engine, highly regarded by footplatemen for their free running and lusty performance (They were known as 'Baby Castles' by GWR crews). A genuine 'made of all work'. 8. This is one prototype not blighted forever by the efforts of Dapol's main O gauge competitor nor is there a 'legacy' model likely to weaken demand for it i.e Tower models/Sancheng did NOT produce the 2251. Neither Masterpeice nor Lee Marsh have announced plans to produce the 2251. Here are the reasons why not:- 1. The anti-GWR brigade will complain. Again. I rest my case. Andy.

darrel Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 A new range of plastic kits to compliment the older range. For example a class 08. It would be a cheap way to populate a diesel depot with stabled locos. A modern breakdown crane. No one has modeled one since Hornby many years ago and it is not suitable for modern image. A tamper. Lack of a motor wouldn't be an issue as they spent most of the day sat in a siding. Some modern buildings And some modern unpainted people the current ones are great for steam age railways but not modern day layouts. Some road rail vehicles especially a BRUFF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
