mopar Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 No,no,no,no!! Why did you post up those pictures? They look very nice indeed. So now do I wait (again), or go kitbuilding? Think I need to go and lie down in a dark room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just received Kernows weekly news letter and these little beauties are shown as arriving in April. What has astounded me is the price. How can they be so cheap??? Surely £169.00 for an "O" gauge RTR steam loco is a steal. Well done to Dapol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Madog Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Rails of Sheffield advertises the DC version for 159,95 - that´s not a steal, that´robbery! Compare this price with Bachmann asking 144,95 for their OO9 WD 4-6-0 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Blobrick Posted March 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2015 I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the small rectangular objects with associated pipe work on both lower front ends of Dapol's Terrier side tanks are? Are they Lubricators? I ve spent a little time going through Tom Middlemass's "Stroudley and his Terriers" looking to find which locos possibly had these fitting and if so when ? So far l have not found any examples, This includes all Stroudley & Southern liveried versions contained within its pages. In fact there is a good picture of 2644 (with condencing pipes August 1938) on page 71 and Brighton on page 97 both with no evidence of these fittings at all?

RMweb Premium Dava Posted March 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yes they are lubricator oil boxes Only some Terriers had them at some times, eg A1 Boxhill in 1929 as Brighton Loco Works shunter The Colin Binnie drawing of A1x IoW 32650 has them on both tanks So again best to model a specific loco from photos at a specific time!

IWCR Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yes lubricators. These feed the driving axleboxes. The alternative position for these was I believe just around the corner on the side of the tank facing the boiler. This location would not be visible in most photos (or models) .As always, for a specific loco and date, check photos. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Now that the Terrier is allegedly going to put in an appearance soon in the shops, could anyone tell me whether I might be able to run one off a Gaugemaster series E controller or whether it will need a more manly controller?

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think you'll need to email Dapol on that one Jenny as there's no way of knowing the current draw until they are released as it depends on the motor I'm hoping it's basically a OO loco sized motor as I can use a cheaper sound chip in it.

Kev_Lewis Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Now that the Terrier is allegedly going to put in an appearance soon in the shops, could anyone tell me whether I might be able to run one off a Gaugemaster series E controller or whether it will need a more manly controller? As there's no information available about what motor Dapol are using in the Terrier, the closest comparison we have are the Ixion loco's. Chris Klein has very kindly provided current draw information giving the maximum draw of the Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 as 396ma. Depending on where you read the output of the the Series E is either 0.3 or 0.4 amps. So even if Dapol have achieved anything near Ixion's impressive standards your controller may not me man enough.

RMweb Premium Blobrick Posted March 27, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Quick snap of the sample Terrier from the Lionheart trains stand at Kettering today - lovely! Gents I ve spent sometime comparing the latest photos of the LBSCr liveried Dapol Terrier against period photos and noticed that it appears the tops of the tanks and sand boxes were painted Black on the original locomotives, where as the Dapol model is in Green, has anyone else noticed this?. I believe Mr Webster confirmed that the current batch of photos from which the photos were taken were Factory finished examples?

steve fay Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Looks very nice, it sets a good precedent for the 08 and what ever follows it, remember in the Tower catalogue a few years back they mentioned a Pannier tank ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2015 BR ones are supposed to be in the second batch a month or two later I read somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fitness Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Time to dig out my "Island Terriers" book to see what the differences are. I fancy one in malachite green with BRITISH RAILWAYS on a patch of slightly different shade green! JF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnought05 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 BR ones are supposed to be in the second batch a month or two later I read somewhere. Yeah I read that too. Just wondered if there was any sighting showing off the BR livery. Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer before we get to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I thought the Terriers on the stand at Ally Pally this weekend looked superb. Hard to believe they're only £200 a pop. Dapol hope to have them in the shops May / June time. I feel the strange urge to build a small Southern based O gauge layout coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Madog Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Street price for the Terrier is as low as GBP 154 now - I can hardly wait to get one in BR early crest livery! What amazes me, though, is that the price for the DCC & sound version is more than double. I can get a sound decoder for a little over GBP 50 ...

Dreadnought05 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I think that's partly to do with Dapol honouring the initial price they put out back when they were announced. Once the first batches have sold out, they've said that the subsequent DC versions will see a price increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Madog Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks for that info - I will order mine asap to get the low price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well, if I had the money for it, I'd buy up a small fleet of them and build an O gauge "Minories" Layout running little 4-wheel coaches. I doubt that I'l be able to make it happen though. Heck, if I had the money, I'd put a face on Stepney just to stir up the "serious" modellers at shows.
