RMweb Premium E100 Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2023 Is there a logical follow up to the D / D1 class offerings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2023 E/E1, L/L1 might seem logical. But how many variations of SE 4-4-0 can the market absorb? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.Uni Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The youtube thumbnail looks more like a wagon than a loco. Oh well only 5 minutes to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach bogie Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Not much use in 1930's GWR land but as I used to see them in pairs, not under the wires in Hartlepool. I will have to have at least one, especially as the second loco below is Dapol's no 7. Don't tell my good lady. She already thinks I am mad. I hope it does not take two Dapol models to haul one wagon!!!!! Well done Dapol Mike Wiltshire Edited July 13, 2023 by Coach bogie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather fit an ESU decoder, I think in the video they said it was Zimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium E100 Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2023 Very surprised Dapol didn't take this on themselves and sell a lot more of these to the whole retailer network. Can't see that many modern image modellers wanting to go without especially if it was £20-£30 less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hello everyone Congratulations to Rails and Dapol on this announcement. We wish them every success with the project. The Class entered The 00 Wishlist Poll in 2019 and came in very High Polling and only just outside The Top 50. When we next ran in 2022, the Class climbed up and went into The Top 50. Brian (on behalf of The 00 Poll Team) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Seems logical to develop the 68 into the 88 but as there are only 10 that is probably the logic in only produced for one retail outlet. Might be feasible that the forthcoming 93 tri mode loco could be similar to the 88 so that could be a further development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Revolution Trains are covering that. As they are both Stadler it would have made sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2023 Excellent . Have been waiting for this one . Will give it some consideration . Shame it’s not Dapol itself as they are very cost effective and their 68 I still think is one of the best diesel locos around . Making it a limited edition just drives the price up unfortunately , although I suppose it may not have been made otherwise . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
