Just picked up the Large display case from the Leeds (Gipton store), 2 more left. Should keep me busy for a while,

I`m sure i remember seeing this brilliant layout at the Leeds shows , many many years ago. When it used to be held in the Corn exchange in the city center.

I`m going with "Why is this so rarely modeled" era, for my own layout.

Thats a good old pic of Holbeck, Mike For those who remember, the writing on the side wall of the service shed ,next to the 31 used to say Deltics far pit. and did so well after the deltics had gone.

This little venture as cost a couple of bob. I wont had to what the photo says ?

So some people are paying hundreds of pounds on locos with sound, and Dapol are putting it in the western for the standard price ?

Just going back a little bit, What colour spray did you use on the grass. I think it looks just grand.

Hi Gwiwer I agree with you on all counts, But this one also had the bogie swing issue (like your own) as well. So i think it was just a good idea to get rid of this Greck. i will indeed be going for a maroon syp at some time though.

Sorry to say that my adventure into buying a Dapol Wezzie, was not a good one. I had bought a maroon one syp from a well known Bradford retailer, But on inspection of this loco, when it arrived home, was not a good one. 1 wiper blade missing it run like it had 3 wheels on its wagon and also did not pick up on 1 axle. So back to the shop we went . I must admit all fair does to the shop, He did tell me i could send it back to DCC myself ( free postage) ,or they would do it for me. It was simply for me, it was money back or something of the same value. Not to do Dapol out of any pennies, I went for the class 22 syp. Which turned out to be a fantastic loco . so i think it will be a while before i venture down the Dapol wezzie list, until QC as improved.

Seems like they are just like the real thing then.

Does that also include that the disks are upside down ?

Is it just me ? Or does the first post on this topic say a scottish layout ?.

Paignton station whilst on holiday in the 60`s-70`s was pure bliss for a young lad. i can remember walking down the main street with my parents, then asking Dad if i could run back to the station every time the crossing bell rung . The smell and sound of any wezzie & warship was just intoxicating. That lazy exhaust rolling down there body side will never leave me. Just a little of topic though, can any one remember Warship D829 Magpie with the sticker above the nameplate ,from the television program of the same name. I remember standing at the side of Magpie, looking at the sticker having seen it only a short time before on the said program.
