Rob F Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Those windows don't quite look the right shape to me. Either too deep or not wide enough. Thoughts? (I'm talking about the big ones) ROB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi Rob, Yes i have thoughts ;-) They are exactly the same size as the normal Dapol MK3 coaches. Hope this helps Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin1985 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Wooo! I've been waiting for these! Any idea of an ETA for the production models Dave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 not yet, as i'm currently waiting for the 2nd EP model to approve. then once the artwork is complete maybe for Ally Pally in March i think. the chinese have their New Year Holiday which means everything stops in the middle of the time from now to all yPally for 2 weeks witha wind down and a wind up to work either side. so fingers crossed here cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Excellent, thanks for posting that. Quick question - what is the livery NC055b, Executive or Swallow? I'm assuming Swallow but I can't find anything more specific than 'Intercity' at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted June 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hi gang, At DEMU more buffet cars - VT-pretendelino and WSMR looking very good. Dapol club and Dapol Dave information puts a June delivery for first batches Robert Shrives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted June 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2012 They look great, but a blue roof on the FGW one... that means it doesn't match the power cars or the existing coaches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Pre production. Black on production models of the buffet as per FGW wishes. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted June 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2012 That's alright then! Look forward to getting my grubby mitts on one, with the Pretendolino one too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan452 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Bit worried (from the review of the Grand Central version in the July Rail Express) that the lavatory window is missing the intermediate bar (and frosting). Trust this is going to be remedied in the production versions (including the 'Pretendolino' one). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapolDave Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi Jonathan, Fantastic, if that's all you have noticed then we are on to a winner methinks!! You've made my day! cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Gauge David Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think the last information we had was that the first batch from China were rejected, and it was hoped the replacements would be here in August. Can Dapol Dave give us his latest update on these please? I'm looking forward to InterCity Swallow and Grand Central liveries. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted February 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi , Well Grand central buffet in set and Hattons advise dispatch of EMT buffet , WSMR twin pack and Pretendolino twin pack. Last two are now heritage liveries ! as Pretendolino work reduced to zero shortly ! Robert Shrives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2013 Missed them when I went on their website this morning. Ordered a couple of WSMR packs so fingers crossed that they will be running on Banbury at the Tonbridge show this weekend although without any window mods. Thanks for the heads up.

shanks522 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 My Pretendolino pair turned up today, Very nice to. Be good to have a full 8 car rake running on Smithdown rd at the weekend. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etched Pixels Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 WSMR set arrived today. They have the same nicely done finish as the other WSMR Dapol mark 3 coaches. I'm as dubious about the shape of the ends as ever but it's a cracking model. There seems to have been a minor livery screw up. It's got "First Class" both ends of the coach - in every picture I have the real one has it at the seating end only not the counter end. Just need to fit some 3d printed bar couplings and light bars and all will be good - I do wish they'd put the first at the loco end on the prototype - it would make hiding the speaker much easier once I get to sound fitting ! All we need now is the Chiltern ones 8) Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan452 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The 'Pretendolino' ones seem to have sold out from Hattons already! Been too busy at work this week to 'click any buttons'. I trust that I am still going to be able to get hold of them? Signal Box - Brighton Modelworld? (On the assumption that as many have been produced as the DVT + 3 x FO Book Set.)

Hopefully the first class markings will come off without leaving a mark. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
