winterbournecm Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 My blue 1000 has been renamed D1010 Western Campaigner and sports the grubby Laira two tone blue / brown I so loved in the hot summer of 1976. The blue hadnt faded so it was just a dirt fest! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/49918-d1010-western-campaigner-on-the-milk/ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Dapol will do another run in BR blue, but personally I hope with the original clips to date the loco before the Talisman derailment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapolDave Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Not at all. We took orders for Blue Westerns and filled them in full. We then allocated some to our shop downstairs and online shop and they get sold at full RRP. No shenanigans (dont you just love that word?) i assure you.

DapolDave Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 No plans for champion, as i verbally assured the Champion's owners that this would, if or when they wanted it, be 'THEIR' model. They gave us fantastic access to Champion at short notice, and this is by means of a thank you from Dapol. cheers Dave 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Swindon 123 Posted April 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2013 Here are some photo's of D1047 Western Lord, a recent addition to the Shenston Road stud. Originally a Green SYE repainted into Blue and EM'd by turning down the original wheelsets. 1st of 5 members of the class to be added to the Shenston Rd stud (Nos 2 & 3 are in the works as I type), and that total doesn't include any maroon ones to be added when they arrive either.

Karhedron Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Hope they do and go for golden ochre. It's an awesome livery, the Western's best IMHO. I agree, gorgeous livery. I have the N Gauge D1000 on order already. If anyone produces Champion in golden ochre in N gauge, I would just have to bite the bullet and get one of those too. Plus getting a regular maroon one. At this rate I am going to need a bigger layout Edited April 19, 2013 by Karhedron 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted April 19, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2013 Perhaps at one of the big shows next year we could hold a gathering of RMWeb members Dapol Westerns? By then I think between us we will probably have covered every single loco and nearly all the livery variations! Would need quite a big hall mind... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon020 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'd really like to see how some have tackled weathering the full blues ones (FYE)... given the variety of worn conditions presented by the prototype. Eventually I'll give one a go... but I'd love to see what others have done... adding wear and tear not just weathering grime... anyone? Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
