HealeyMills Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The BR Blue 86's look even better as an 86/4 Have I imagined it or have Dapol said that they are to release one of the 86's (86214 'Sans Pareil' or 86235 'Novelty') that took on the 150 years celebration colour scheme?

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted August 11, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 11, 2010 The BR Blue 86's look even better as an 86/4 The photo above shows just how far British N has come in recent years. After seeing this photo (and the others on the forum home page) I had to look closely to see if it was the N or OO version. The future's bright, the future's N gauge! Happy modelling.

Wherry Lines Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I am very much waiting in anticipation for Dapol to announce an Anglia liveried example. I have an entire layout in my mind ready to be built, pending such an announcement. Come on Dapol....pweeeease? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adam1701D Posted August 26, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm looking forward to 86401. Got a whole load of stripped Mk1 shells waiting for NSE "Cobblers" treatment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Lee That 86/4 looks great, did the multiple working cables come with another loco or scratch built? Will need to add a set to my RES 86/4. Cheers, Keith.

HealeyMills Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi Keith, I cannot take any credit for the conversion... but Mr Mercig can! All the jumper cables were added by him and a fine job he has done too. Perhaps Ian can tell you how he did it..... Cheers Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Crepello Posted March 13, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2011 Can I put in a plea for some earlier 86s quite soon please! My OHLE posts are up and just waiting for a white window/cab roof combination and an un-named Rail Blue without cantrail stripes to glide under! Thanks in anticipation Dave!

My OHLE posts are up and just waiting for a white window/cab roof combination and an un-named Rail Blue without cantrail stripes to glide under! Thanks in anticipation Dave! I suspect you might be waiting a while as this requires a retooled body (to remove the Flexicoil "mount" - though I can possibly see Dapol skipping this in the interests of expediency/relative ignorability), a retooled front (headcode unplated), and retooled bogie (no flexicoil suspension). But it would be nice for them to take a stab at the 86/0 and 86/3s though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be nice for them to take a stab at the 86/0 and 86/3s though. There were plenty of rail blue 86/2 without cantrail stripes which don't need a modified body - as for electric blue with white window surrounds they could do a model of 259.

Andy T Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Guys I have a question. Does anyone know when the next batch of 86's are due ? as i have the N.S.E liveried one on order .And also when are the excellent Pantographs due as my own RES 86 is crying out for a acurate pantograph as 86425 carries the Brecknell willis high speed example.

My OHLE posts are up and just waiting for a white window/cab roof combination and an un-named Rail Blue without cantrail stripes to glide under! Thanks in anticipation Dave! The nameplates are separate fittings so you'd only need to not fit those, and lift the arrows of confusion and cantrail then re-decal it (the arrows moved when they were named). I've yet to try lifting the cantrail to see if it'll come off without harming the blue but it's on my TODO list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmthtrains - David Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Nigel Burkin has some photos of some review samples from Dapol (mostly HSTs), but has this lovely model of the Dapol 86 in the new freightliner livery, sporting the new pantograph: My link I don't recall Dapol announcing this - has anyone heard more about it? I'm hoping they will release a double pack soon - this one and a standard FL dummy, so you can use them doubleheading on intermodals David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy T Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi David Dapol did announce 86637 in powerhaul livery at the same time as the announced 67018 in DB Schenker livery But if memory recalls it was due towards the back end of the year. Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hippo Posted March 26, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26, 2011 They had one on the Dapol stand at Ally Pally today. It looked Fantastic in the Powerhaul livery 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin1985 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for the heads-up! Ideal candidate for a repaint, if Dapol don't end up producing one in Anglia livery! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg81 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Antics are doing a number of them at 60GBP. Grabbed the Freightliner version. I must say, Wow! Top marks to Dapol for a fabulous model. What chance a class 90 of the same standard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Antics are doing a number of them at 60GBP. Grabbed the Freightliner version. I must say, Wow! Top marks to Dapol for a fabulous model. What chance a class 90 of the same standard? Thanks for the heads up I've just ordered one myself. Although I think the fact that Antics are having to price them so cheaply in order to sell them, should give you a clue as to why I doubt that Dapol will be rushing to produce another 25kV AC loco any time soon.

Karhedron Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I am vaguely suprised to see them being discounted so much. The reviews when they came out seemed boradly positive. There is matching stock in the form of Mk3 coaching and DVTs. Catenary is available (I think). And yet they don't seem to be selling particularly well. Is it true that OHELs don't sell particularly well? I gather Dapol put the 92 on the the back burner as a result. Is it the lack of stuff to run alongside? The 87 and 90 are available but dated and there is no OHEL suburban stock. The forthcoming 350 will rememdy this to some extent but I am not sure if 86s were still working out of Euston by the time the 350s arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Al Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am vaguely suprised to see them being discounted so much. They are a very nice model and are probably one of the best Dapol in recent times. BUT electrics aren't that popular it seems (as widely reported by slow sales of Farish 87,90,91s), and worse, Dapol haven't released it in the two liveries I'd have thought would have been popular - original electric Blue and BR corporate blue (yes, there has been a limited edition run in corp blue, but this was limited and at a resulting premium price of close to double what other liveries are selling for). Personally I do hope they do one in original electric blue, but I won't be surprised if it's a while before more are produced. Cheers, Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 But they never carried Electric Blue when new. The original livery (without yellow ends) was darker and quite close to what became Rail Blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu from EGDL Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi Guys; A brief mooch around T'interweb this morning sees a couple of traders pricing the imminent dummies at around the £35 mark. Is it really £10- £15 more expensive for a dummy loco having a pantograph??? Has the question been answered about a lighting circuit in the dummy 86 (a la 26/HST but not 67 or 66)? And if people are picking up powered versions around the bazaars for £50-£60...will the dummies sell??? Later; STU from EGDL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliereading1123 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Has the question been answered about a lighting circuit in the dummy 86 (a la 26/HST but not 67 or 66)? I picked the freightliner green Dummy up today and can confirm it does have working directional lights. Ollie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
