Pack it with a sliver of thin plasticard.

I was answering Tim V , who visited a shop circa 1971. Shrewsbury model centre did not exist then, only Hobby specialist , run by family friends Len & Kay Smith and their son Tony, which sadly closed some years ago..

Are you thinking of Hobby Specialist at the bottom of Wyle Cop, a different shop to the one mentioned in this topic?

Try as I might, I just can't see an issue with the grills on my model.

Not overlooked at all, this thread has been running since 2009 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/13868-peco-ohle/

Amazing what you can find with the search function http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/102799-Bachmann-announce-class-117-and-class-121-at-collectors-club-event/

And when you finally extract the layout from the loft, it will only be fit for scrap.

Hornby magazine has absolutely nothing to do with the the model Company Hornby other than they both have Hornby in their titles.

Of course, what you have not done, is mention when exactly you allegedly sent your emails. If recently, then I don't know if you noticed, but there has been a little thing called Christmas holidays recently. Also, is it not possible that your alleged emails haven't got through to Dapol?. I think it is rather unfair that you continually slam Dapo's customer service, just because you have not had a reply from them for whatever reason. IIRC you continually complained about Bachmann selling Olivia's trains cancelled Ltd Edn DRS Loco at Warley despite the fact no such announcement from Bachmann doing so had ever been made. Quite frankly your continuous knocking of manufacturers is becoming a bit of a bore.

For some people (myself included) this may be relatively easy to fix. For many others it isn't, and can't be ignored. On a £100+ one should not have to correct the basic application of livery, or anything else for that matter. I for one will be voting with my wallet, and not be buying one. Only when people do this, will Dapol listen and act on critism . Happy new year everybody Steve

Over on MRE mag, Bachmann have stated it will not have a DCC socket due to space constraints.

Its more like a tin of black magic

Yes, funny isn't it, all those bemoaning the grills haven't actually seen the model in the flesh, just enlarged photo's of the model. And as everyone knows, enlarged pictures are cruel.

NIRCLASS80, what else are SLW supposed to do if email addresses etc have changed?. After all, the relevant information has been posted repeatedly in this thread and on their website , see http://www.sulzertype2.com/contact.php

I too got my email to purchase today.....I succumbed to 24081 !!!

I wonder what the people bemoaning the price of the first release will make of the price of this one. Wasn't too bad a price after all, was it.

Lots of shops have been selling the MLV for some time now. Slow selling collectors club models frequently make their way to retailers.

Just seen these at the Cheltenham model centre. Do I buy one. Do I need one. Decisions, decisions.

BR green version arrived at Cheltenham model centre today. Looks superb.
