Hello, I probably like many others have just received notification from Rails that the new rerun of Dapol O gauge bubbles have landed, one or two caught my eye for my chosen modelling eras. for those interested in these units, the blue grey class 122 unit M55005 looks interesting, are they really going to model it when it ran with class 121 exhausts ? looks promising when zooming in on the Dapol stock list picture. from Railcar.co.uk copyright Sturt Mackay collection Dapol website In the product description Dapol have noted improved drivetrain running, so let’s see what they have come up with, personally I just remove one of the motors. I have it planned to do this unit when it moved to LA and ended up with black windscreen surrounds as P105 Happy modelling Craig

Hi Rod, I hope you are well ? I must get hold of the Chaps for a visit to West Kirby Ffestiniog 😃 Everything is plausible Rod, and if it ticks your boxes, go for it, essentially you will have 2 x lovely layouts in one, itches all nicely scratched 😊 Best regards Craig

Oh wow 😃 nice to an @Andrew P classic layout still knocking about 😍. Nice traction as well Chris. Craig

All over Rail blue with full yellow ends, Railcar.co.uk is your Friend Apologise I can’t seem to copy the class 122 route learner link

Hi Caz, Craig here it was good to see the layout on Saturday, it’s a lovely project and is looking good with a good balance of simplified track plan and great scenery, this also has Rhys musing about something for himself. Now following with interest Craig

Yeah a nice route learner or Class 131 parcels, of which both are ex class 122 passenger bubble cars, and both ran North of the boarder Craig

Hello Nick, I am really liking your layout project, I had a plan many moons ago based on Bourne End in 4mm that never really came to fruition. I do love the simplicity of the track layout, and the idea of creating scenic atmosphere with the less is more approach. but I have something mulling again, this time in 7mm utilising the Dapol O gauge 121’s, of which I have 1 or 2 of 🫣 or may be a few more than that !! I am following with interest Craig

Love it 😍

O gauge b#bble car ? You know you want to ? 😜

RIP Mr Lynch 🥲

Hello RBC, did you get yourself a blue 101 ? best regards Craig

Class 22 in 7mm would be nice !! But I have 5 x JLTRT / MM1 ones in various build stages Craig

I wonder what Gostude thinks ??? 🤠

Ooh err Matron ….. quick bring me some wetwipes 🤪

Congratulations Alan on an excellent and well deserved layout article in the latest Guild mag. best regards Craig
