GCS Posted October 28, 2020 Hi all, Dapol have just announced the BR Class 221’s are available for preorder. Nice surprise launch for sure! (£191 for preorder as well). https://www.dapol.co.uk/New-Class-221-Liveries-Announced Hopefully these are much improved over the original Class 220 they launched years ago, those motor cars were loud and reliable...

gavino200 Posted October 29, 2020 Nice. I'm also tempted to pre-order a Class 43 HST. I've always wanted one. https://www.hattons.co.uk/530048/dapol_2d_019_010_class_43_hst_4_car_book_set_in_intercity_125_br_blue_and_grey_43015_43190_and_t/stockdetail.aspx 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

But I used to live in Reading and was commuting to London for work every day. So no brainer. I wish someone did the turbos in N scale too. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

I am hoping that all those DMUs don't come out at once. I like to spread out my train budgget. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tuga Posted November 5, 2020 Just order the "101 Squadron' in Virgin Trains Flowing Silk" livery and the "Cross Country" for a very good deal. 😃 In the meantime I should receive the "Strathclyde Class 156 DMU" by Saturday. And more light bars to fit. 🤞😁 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

And more light bars to fit. 🤞😁 Just the Cross Country for me. Interestingly on Dapol’s forums they’ve stated they are using all the existing tooling with heavily glazed windows (so no interior seating/detailing) yet all preorder information saying light bars will be optional. Bit confusing at the moment then. Also thinking of preordering the Dapol/Gaugemaster HST GWR ‘Castle Set’. Guy Quote Share this post Link to post
Tuga Posted November 5, 2020 Yes 👍the Dapol/Gaugemaster HST GWR ‘Castle Set’ is really nice too. Wish I had more 💰 to get all the HST liveries available. Need to buy a lottery ticket. LOL 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
