N'thusiast Club from Dapol

I ordered some stuff from their "members' open day sale items" back in October/November but nothing ever turned up. I reminded them in December, one of the items was no longer available but still nothing has turned up.

Looked at the info on their website, but a bit put off that wagons listed are for 2007 issue - no mention of 2011 or 2012. Noted that the website last updated 2011, so would have thought putting up detail of current "sweetener" would have been useful. No mention of Silver Link either. Thought having some discount dealers was a good idea, but noted that even one of these closed down a couple of years ago. As I see some of you chaps have joined, do you have access to another part of the website, or is it all contained in the newsletters?
Not knocking the club, as interested in joining, but would like to clarify what I would be getting.

the offer that was woth mine was for a diesel and some wagons. Apparently the offer for the Silver link has been released. i suspect that the offer for the Silver Link will prob appear sometime between now and march.

Just to resurrect this thread a bit, I have today received my Dapol N'Thusiasts club newsletter (1st one as I joined at Warley.)

Dapol are announcing that the new A4 should be released at the Alexandra Palace show in March (but they do add that they have their fingers crossed for this!) and that it will be released first in BR green versions with early and late crests. The remaining A4 liveries and the A3 will appear over the weeks that follow the show.

With regards to the Silver Link, this is a limited edition for club members only of 200. It will be in LNER Silver Grey, but not with full valances. They say that they haven't finished the valance version A4's yet (so there will be a valanced A4 coming later!) and say that they have a photo of 2509 in silver grey livery without valances. Can anyone confirm this - the only pics I have of 2509 is with valances, and one says that it went to LNER blue in early 1939.

mmm.... this is good news ! I'm not a massive LNER fan, but if a full valenced garter blue 'Mallard' is on the cards - sign me up !

I am a big LNER fan and only joined the Dapol club so I could get a Silver Link A4! All I need them to do now is to produce a few silver coaches to go with it!

recieved my newsletter yesterday too and placed my order today for the silver link. yes hope they will bring out the silver coaches as well. they also naounded that the 2012 catalogue will be avaiable late march but your prob have to pay for it, but saing that its gone to 130pages. members may get one free as well.

Yeah same here last letter i had was about there open day. I emailed them in Jan they said it would be released early feb. I understand they are a small company and all that, but it doesnt do any harm to either email, put something on their website, or facebook to let us know we not been forgotten about.

GWR-Kris · April 08, 2013, 08:43:56 AM

Just an update, have recieved my renewal pack on Friday. With new wagon. But no catalogue even tho its on the invoices, and no real new announcements, or offers. Was hoping there will be something.

MikeDunn · April 08, 2013, 09:20:09 AM

You renewed ?

Probably more than I'll do ... I'm all for supporting clubs - but I expect something in return for my money !
