Dapol Christmas press release.
Hi everyone, Festive cheer to you all! Due to the ongoing delay in the class 21/29 model in OO gauge, we have a slot in production for the 3rd quarter of 2013 that allows us to move up a model to fill the gap that would otherwise have been in the 2014 catalogue list of releases.
