The 2012 Dapol catalogue is now due in march - see website...

And what are the chances of them announcing that they are producing a model of the most iconic train in the history of UK railways since Stephenson's rocket, i.e the Pendolino? Probably about 5%. Hope I'm wrong.

I think you may be disappointed Pendy, if i remember correctly Dapol Dave said on RMWeb that the Pendo will definitely not be in the 2012 catalogue

Boo- hoo

[GWR-Kris]

what sort of things will be expected in the 2012 catalogue. i know the A3's and A4's will be.

[Pengi]

Or maybe an Electrostar - considering there are over 300 sets of these running on the railways today. But they will probably produce yet more steamies.

[Ollie3440]

Well seen as they did the class 26 i believe a Class 27 will deffo feature this year.

Apart from that i'd welcome pretty much anything, if it's something i'm not wanting then i save some money

Spam can and class 22 please, Mr. Dapol. That will make my year happy

[Pengi]

What about a Brighton Belle?

Or even a stunning class 442 Wessex Electric in SWT livery. This train holds the record for the fastest third rail EMU. This was the train that ignited my interest in trains.


P.S. I'll shut up now about EMUs.

Pendy, 
With you all the way about the EMU's but what chance huh?

As pointed out to me when I was on FB to Dapol - the Hornby Networker didn't sell to well on OO so it stands no chance in N.  I bet that's what they said about the 4 CEP...  If they manufactured a few modern EMU's they may server to create the demand...

[Pengi]

That Hornby Networker has a lousy motor - there have been loads of complaints about it. I understand that the Hornby Pendolino sells well and they brought out another special livery. I don't think Dapol can base projected sales of a Pendolino against the Hornby Networker. This could be the train that introduces a whole new generation to N. However, Virgin will probably be bringing out the new Pendolinos before this appears in N gauge.


P.S. I really will shut up about the Pendo now

[Ollie3440]

It was my knowledge that Dapol keep putting the pendo on the back burner due to the high tooling costs (pretty much every coach is different). It'll arrive one day and i see it as chance to save up for one..... or two

Probably be a book full of stuff that nobody wants, but we will buy cos we need something to run, and manufacturer will say "we told you it was what you wanted, because you bought it".
