  1. Note the "Rare" in the title and description. I should think it is rare, as it's not available yet!
  2. Noticed that when i put photo up. Close ups are cruel. corrected it straight away.
  3. received my conflat today, without container. First impression, very nice, although that wooden deck is crying out for toning down with weathering. Not sure what is going on with wagon number though. Something lost in translation between Dapol and the Chinese perhaps?
  4. Do you mean subscription started from issue 264. I ordered 263 as a back issue from there.
  5. On line here. Just ordered it myself.Traction - World Of Railways (world-of-railways.co.uk)
  6. Typical, It's a 122 I pre -ordered. Still, it's been on order over 3 years now, so what's a few more months wait !
  7. Satin varnish, as loco finish is satin. time to position before it dries, and clean up of excess is easy with cotton bud and thinners
  8. If it's just been purchased, return it to retailer. Trying to resolve the issue yourself will probably invalidate the warranty
  9. 1970's olive green one on ebay at the moment, also still available from Hattons
  10. in rural Shropshire, and happened across this old container being used as a farmers shed. Exterior in very poor state , but traces of original paint and stenciling survive. Interior much better.
  11. That appears to have fingerprints in the paint from handling when wet
  12. Weathering applied with a mop. Got to be a first.
  13. But that's already been announced, albeit a long time ago. This implies something new.
  14. Is it only me who feels sorry for all the retailers who are having Heljan Cl25 pre orders cancelled on the back of this announcement ? Timing couldn't have been worse considering they are imminent.
  15. According to the dcc supplies link, they have 6 lightbar kits in stock.
  16. Didn't he say the issues were with decoration.
  17. First thing to draw my eye was the silvering, however, close up pictures can be cruel. The pic on the 3rd page of the review, top right of page does not look quite as bad, though still not perfect.
  18. I read somewhere that Dapol are only producing 200 of each version!
  19. I take it you did remove the speakers from their original supplied plastic sound enclosure first? I had a little trouble fitting the Dapol enclosure back into place, but it does go with a little force.
  20. i take it you have knowledge of the costs involved in bringing this wagon to market for you to be able to query the price ?
  21. Have you tried something like maskol , tackywax or bluetac to temporarily fit the speedo cable for testing?
  22. Definitely said production cancelled. Perhaps they meant to say sold out on pre order. Managed to pre order one elsewhere.
  23. I have had notification from Hattons today that 3105 BR Blue class 31 has been cancelled from production. Anyone else had similar notifications? Does it only affect the Blue version?
