I've been waiting for this livery to be announced by someone. Do you know if Dapol have fixed the lighting issues from the 1st batch as all the 59s had lighting thay was not correct for the classes and required modifications.

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 23, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2023 If you pre-order online the system will take a payment that will then be refunded within 24 hours (provided the item is not going to be available within 28 days). To avoid any payment being taken/refunded at the time of preorder Simply ring the shop to preorder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I've pre-ordered, presume it will come at the same time as 59003 !! Will be interesting to see how well it sells, I hope it does for KMRC sake, but the Bachmann 66 in the Aggregates livery was a really slow mover... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was an odd ball and never seemed to work the trains it was painted for. The 59/0’s however… 59004..(+59103) on the famous 7A03… A nice choice imo, especially as the stock now exists too.
