Regarding the buffets, this is what I was told by sales on 18th June (statement between inverted commas)
"The official list is as follows:
NC054A MK 3 COACH VIRGIN BUFFET BUFFERS
NC054B MK 3 COACH I/CITY BUFFET (executive livery)
NC054C MK 3 COACH BLUE/GREY BUFFET BUFFERS
NC055A MK 3 COACH VIRGIN BUFFET NO BUFFERS
NC055B MK 3 COACH I/CITY BUFFET (swallow livery)
NC055C MK 3 COACH BLUE/GREY BUFFET NO BUFFERS
As you will please note Product Development has decided on one of each Executive & Swallow and not both. NC054 is for models with buffers and NC055 without."
So I feel it is not what is produced that is the issue, that is Dapol's decision, but the different statements that come depending on where they are read (eg Dapol's FB side)
->Dapol, I am looking forward to reading what is in the catalogue, as all our doubts will be laid to rest and once the catalogue is publically available I bet you'll find all these discussions die!!!!
