srihaggis Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm assuming the D1062 model will be in Blue? They did one previously in Maroon. My order has gone through for D1013, had an email today offering weathering options if required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2017 I wonder if they sold many at full price ?, this isn't the first time they've sold them off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted April 17, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2017 It would be quite normal retail practice to clear out the last few at cost or even less in order to make shelf space for new items and / or just to be rid of the end-of-line pieces. There might have only been one or two at the final offer price. Even though they can have their identities swapped (subject to fine detail if that matters to you) I managed to avoid a purchase this time. I'm already wondering where my loco collection is going to go in a small London flat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted April 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2017 I wonder if they sold many at full price ?, this isn't the first time they've sold them off. When I was in the LT shop at the start of the month the blue one was in the cabinet marked £150 but with a sticker on the box saying 'half price' so I assumed it was £75. If they'd had a maroon one I would have asked but blue isn't my era and I don't need any much tempting to grab a bargain I don't actually need (so as my wife says - something that isn't actually a bargain at all !

LT Museum selling westerns for £75 as part of a black friday deal https://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/models/Dapol-western-d1018-blue#selection=pto_finish:Matt__970;pto_frame:Black__965;pto_size:Small__961;pto_mount:With%20Mount__973 https://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/models/Dapol-western-d1018-maroon#selection=pto_finish:Matt__970;pto_frame:Black__965;pto_size:Small__961;pto_mount:With%20Mount__973 Is this a museum sepcial addition? What condition are these locos in (esp Talisman clips) - would they be suitable for a preserved western (e.g. Champion?) And also a New Years sale too. I saw them in the shop last week on offer, but I've really got a full house of Westerns, much as I love them and the price is a bargain.. I'm just full.

Butler Henderson Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Matter of straight economics - Cost of the whole lot is x, sell at y - at some point total of y exceeds x and thereafter y can be reduced as desired but still make profit (just not as much).

No Decorum Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Can't we have separate threads for OO & N please? A most excellent idea. Bachmann does it well with seperate brand names. It would do a lot to curb momentary false excitement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted June 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 22, 2017 Is there any sign of another run of these in OO?

Horsetan Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Is there any sign of another run of these in OO? .... Not so far. And the spares for it have been running down for a while at DCCS. Can't get the pipes and cable details now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That sounds very much like Laira circa 1975. They are all heavily weathered and you can't get the spares. How very prototypical. Geoff Endacott 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted June 26, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 26, 2017 Interestingly Hattons has offered numerous Westerns with rather good weathering which appears to match exactly that commissioned by Kernow MRC from Mercig Studios for their own exclusive (and premium priced) models. Not being party to any comnercial arrangements I cannot make any further comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being party to any comnercial arrangements I cannot make any further comment. Dapol produced its own (as opposed to a Kernow commissioned) weathered Western, as D1026 Western Centurion with incorrect headboard clips. I agree the weathering does look like the Kernow ones. I've only seen that one on offer from Hatton's as a new model, but it keeps appearing on the New Stock page presumably because Hatton's orders it in small batches of half a dozen or so locos.

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted June 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Pity about the headboard clips. (D1026 didn't have them.) Geoff Endacott Is there any Western with a longer name that it could be renumbered as that did have the clips (and any other tell-tale differences)? I do like the look if it and may just have to get one. Rule 1 can apply with it working onto my 1970s Southern layout occasionally until I get a Western micro-layout done for my D6xx on order. Edit: I wondering about D1019 Western Challenger - that has the clips and the nameplate may be as long. Not an expert on Westerns so don't know what else to watch for.

Geoff Endacott Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Challenger didn't last long enough to get the Talisman clips which the Hatton's model has.

Geoff Endacott I know it will have been said somewhere in the previous 135 pages but could someone post a photo indicating the 'offending' clips? I live in a happy world where to my eye the only significant difference between one Western and another is the name and numberplate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
