60006 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 According to other forums/message boards, Dapol have politely asked that people do not post information from the Open Day until 12 noon on Sunday. Understandable really, I will be excited to see what we can look forward to though. Tom N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted October 10, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've seen rumours on the Yahoo group of a 92 and Pacer in N, but nothing confirmed..... But I'll have a Provincial Blue and GMPTE Orange Pacer if true.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind...as I am unable to go, being temporarily approx 3000 miles east of Chirk, I will wait for info tomorrow like a good lad!!

DavidB-AU Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The 121 is a nice surprise. I wonder if they'll use it as the basis for a 117? Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted October 11, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2009 Having looked at the catalogue the previously unannounced n gauge is HST's Pacers Class 121 bubble cars (good for me this one) 153's - shown painted Britannia's LNER B1's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmthtrains - David Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Whoohoo! A pacer! And the 153 and HST sets are due in 2010 now, with an interesting further addition of a 121 bubble car! I think the B1 kettle is new too? A shame no sign of a buffet Mk3 though... David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43179 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 No sign of a mk3 TGS either Personally I think it would make much more sense to have the TGS and Buffet in a pack with a pair of power cars Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted October 11, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2009 Pehaps the missing mk.3 coaches will pop-up as a suprise product during the year.I'm sure they are on their to-do list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim H Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The Bubble Car is very welcome, and not completely unexpected - not sure whether "blue" means blue/grey or all-over blue, although I'd expect both liveries in the fullness of time. Wonder if they'll follow it up with a 122 (is it just the roof-mounted indicator boxes, or were they differences in the window patterns as well?) Of course, I want the Nodding Donkey in the short-lived Cornish Railways chocolate and cream - I can see Kernow Models doing that one as a special commission.

ChrisB Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Looks like there's still going to be a long wait for the silver bullets then. Does anyone know if there will be one in ECC's blue livery? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moria Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Actually, this looks like a good year for me.. I can concentrate on the things I knew were coming without too much more tempting me away from the plan. 86's, 58's bullet train and maybe an HST. the 153 might tempt though for the branch line. Hopefully, some of these won't be too long arriving now.. I thought 86's were due this year which would be nice . As to the coaches, I wonder if there's now a market to just produce blank bodyshells with transparent sides so that we can add whatever coaches we want using vinyl overlays, either from the established sources or for those of us lucky enough to have access to the equipment in house. Would make life much easier to order 7 or 8 coaches and then livery them up as required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
(The) Youth Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 A bit of a stupid question but was it all N-Gauge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 A bit of a stupid question but was it all N-Gauge? Dapol produce OO products of course but this weekend's announcements applied to N gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted October 11, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2009 Good news about the Pacer, pity the original liveries aren't in the initial release (Provincial Blue, GMPTE Orange & Chocolate & Cream), but \i'm sure it will only be a matter of time. Glad there isn't much more to tempt me, as I'm already planning to get the coal 58, rake of Silver Bullets, plus Farish Dutch 37, LL 47. I'm sure I can squeeze in an NSE bubble car though.

60006 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Oh dear, looks like my wallet shall have to start bracing itself right about now. I think I might just do a list! Santa, please bring me: Class 153 Northern Rail livery (Powered and Unpowered) Class 156 Northern Rail livery (Powered and Unpowered) Class 67 EWS (Both new releases if possible ) Class 142 Northern Rail livery (possibly? ) 6-8 Light bars. Ah well, I can but dream I suppose. Tom N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rickard Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 OMG!!! A class 121!!! Dapol, I think I love you Shame it's not in Chiltern blue, but I'm sure that can be remedied... Now I just need somebody to make a Class 165 in N, and I'll be over the moon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Piszczek Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Did Dapol make any announcement regarding couplers? With GF announcing the switch to Micro Trains style buckeye couplers, it seems like Dapol should be heading in that direction as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted October 11, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2009 There is no mention of it in the catalogue Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim H Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Looks like there's still going to be a long wait for the silver bullets then. Does anyone know if there will be one in ECC's blue livery? The ECC blue ones were a different design to the 80-tonne wagon modelled by Dapol. They were of similar size and shape to the slightly larger 90-tonne bullets that ATM were originally planning to release, although there were significant detail differences.

Sailor Charon Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Having looked at the catalogue the previously unannounced n gauge is HST's Pacers Class 121 bubble cars (good for me this one) 153's - shown painted Britannia's LNER B1's Do we have actual dates for the Britannias and B1s? I only ask because I've got the Hornby magazine from last December that announced them... Oh, and the 153. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Having looked at the catalogue the previously unannounced n gauge is HST's Pacers Class 121 bubble cars (good for me this one) 153's - shown painted Britannia's LNER B1's I'm pretty sure that the class 43 HST125, class 153s, Britannia and B1s (as well as the class 58s and 86s) were announced at last years open day (2008) and were part of the magnificent 7 (or was it 10) that were being worked on but no dates would be given until they decided to launch them. It looks like those listed in the brouchure are now planned/promised for next year (2010). And with the all new surprises being the class 121 and 142. So presumably the rumours of a class 92 electric loco were just that. And nothing all new for the steamy fans? G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Griffin Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 i like the idea of 'dummy' trains, but as i dont do n gauge, is there much of a difference in price between powered and not? as i alway thought that it was the detail thats paid for, not the motor!
