That'll be good news for the people that just paid a little under £50 for two second hand ones on FleaBay.

:D

Not my bag at all, but I applaud Dapol for responding to market forces, and not screwing as much money as possible out of people! I imagine the market would weather £25, so to be doing them (basically) for £15 is awesome.

Good decision Dapol, i will certainly add to my existing seven, NEM pockets mean easi-shunts on wagons either end of the rake.

Decent price too, not a whole lot more than they were originally if memory serves, in spite of cost increases.

Got to admire Dapol for keeping prices as reasonable as possible, especially with the retooling needed for NEM couplings.

I'll be ordering the two black-liveried versions. I hope maybe they will do a couple in Gulf Red livery in the future as they offer their Grampus in this livery.

And have taken an order off me for £152.60 - they could have knocked the £2.60 off and made it a round £150  :smiley-laughing:

No doubt I'll forget Ive ordered them and get a shock in 6 months when the bill comes through as they come into stock

Hattons have advised that these are now due to arrive in May 21.

They also state that these have sold out on pre-order.  I'm assuming that means Hattons have sold out their allocation, but maybe not.

Rails have just taken payment for mine 😁

I have just received an email from Rails to tell me that my two Dutch grey/yellow have been dispatched. Have checked to see that payment has indeed been taken, but no record of my pre-orders for those items remains on the Rails website, nor have they been converted into "real" orders.  Is this yet another manifestation of the "new and improved" system?
It's as if the transaction never existed! I'll check again later but unless the situation changes I'll have to give them a call and see if they can offer a rational explanation.

Mine are on their way too, just the two so that I can use NEM pockets to fit easi-shunts each end of my current rake.
