yup your right, apologies for my mistake.

Indeed the pretendolino and the W&SR twin packs are buffered stock.

cheers

Hi guys,

Please note these are either fully in production or on the high seas as i type.

Indeed the GC buffet cars are now at Dapol ready for dispatch to stockists.

cheers

Dave

Hi Robert,

I'll endeavour to do this tomorrow.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Jim,

Yes the model will have 2mm axles and should have clearance for P4

cheers

Dave

Hi miles,

I dont think you should even be slightly offended to be honest. The 'rep' was probalbly myself, and i gave out information that was good and accurate for the time it was given, and as you know, looking through the various manufacturers treads on here, things and circumstances change and this is often unavoidable if not very annoying.

cheers

Dave

Hi Mel,

please check some of the other threads on the Dapol partition and you will see that for the class 52 we have gone over to a colour matched blue (colour matched to Bachmanns class 55 Deltic) with positive comments.

no need to cross your fingers at all.

Oh and no one has to live with 'Dapol high prices'.

cheers

Dave

Hi,

We seem to have perfect then the headcode panel as a rotating item with the destination or reporting code (depending on class) printed on 3 sides of a transparent triangle. it is an interference fit so wont revolve under movement but looks quite good especially backlit.

No rotating blinds i'm afriad but we will print up some to be customer fitted.

cheers

Dave

Hi Miles,

To be honest it would be very wrong of me to even raise a quarter for release.

As a newbie here, and I promise I'm just stating fact not belittling you, please take a look at the Western thread in OO and check out the timeline.

The great thing about this group is not only does everyone have an opinion, but they also have ideas and spot things both myself and others don't. Having said that, I thinking already looks terrific, and the input from here will make it even better. :-)

Hi Michael, the headlight is moulded on, but only features on the versions that will need it as slides are being incorporated to allow us the choice.

Cheers guys

Dave

Sorry Miles,

But since my 29th November posting there is nothing more to add at present.

cheers

Dave

Hi Tom, I spotted this and also think the "dome" is too flat as well.

I'm not keen on the body to chassis attachment or the front bogie connector to chassis.

By the way the front steps will be customer fitted

Cheers

Dave

Hi everyone,

Sorry it's late but here are the cad/cams for the Rebuilt Battle of Britain.

And yes the curves should be curved it's just a process of the cad/cam

cheers

Dave

for pictures of lots of things .......... http://www.zenfolio....nesphotography/

Brackets and O gauge signals are still some months away i'm afraid.

As for painting them silver, i think i'd like to have some white ones (if someone can let me know they definately happened) so that we can sell the 2 colours if possible.

Cheers

Dave

Hi everyone,

Just finalising the GWR round post signals in N and OO, and have had a brain F**t , silver or white finish posts? or both?

cheers

Dave

bearing in mind the time of year, is that HOHOHO scale?

Hi Martin,

The models being produced are as follows;

4 different running numbers for Dapol

4 weathered ones for Kernow

1 for Lord & Butler

1 for Steam Museum at Swindon

1 for Western Locomotive Association

hope this helps.

cheers

Dave

Hi chaps,

This in from China this morning.

I've spotted a few things that need attention and they havnt had the cladding in front of the cylinders as the requested separate part......that will change :-)

BOB cad/cams by the weekend i hope.

cheers

Dave

The bogies are a 'nadgers' too wide aren't they? Just a 'nadgers' mind ;-)

No, I meant speaker space.

The 73 will be our first PluX22 compatible loco

Cheers

Dave

Hi Kal,

PluX22 decoder socket and room for a nice big speaker and sealed enclosure on top, as per the class 22, D1000's and 10000 models (speaker space that is).

cheers

Dave

Hi everyone,

i have sent China a list of 42 items to change this morning including a lot of your list, so thanks for that.

As the 'JB' cad/cam was due next week ive asked them to hold off on it and correct the JB before sending it.

Hope this is ok but i'd rather show you the progress made as it metamorphss, metamorff, metamoorpho...............changes :-)

cheers

Dave

Im now wondering if i should source a maroon Heljan western for colour matching?

it would be easier than delaying the project further.

what's the consensus here regarding this models colour?

cheers

Dave

Hi guys,

a picture sent from china this morning of the lineup of painted bodies currently in China, including another shot of the maroon, and grey roof on the green.

thoughts still please?

cheers

Dave

Oh and just as an aside,

Every separate component is a different colour from the item it's attached to, so you can see the individual parts on this model easily.

cheers

Dave
