Farish / Dapol Collectors clubs ?

Any updates on Farish Dale?

I went to the Dapol open day, was interesting and I guess as it was Wales they organised a mass scrum for the NQP items, was funny to watch!
Well worth going and some nice bargains on offer, although the pricing was the same as TINGS I think, good though, still made me open the wallet 

Farish turned up the next day, its almost like they knew! 
I'd like to have made the open day (been a yorkshireman I love the idea of a bargin) they seem to be quite selective of NQP's at Warley and TINGS.
Did the open day include a factory tour? I love been nosy in factories

Thee factory/warehouse was open to view and the scrum was very up close and personal but fruitful.

Yes it was basically IN the factory, they had demos of pretty much anything going, injection moulding of Deltic models (OO), a really interesting demo in the printing of Private plank wagons was fascinating, I have a bit of a graphics background so was my kind of thing...

'Building' the N gauge model consisted of putting in coal, clipping body to chassis and adding wheels, the O gauge build looked really interesting and met someone in the 'Weathering booth' that although an N gauge modeller had bought an O gauge model as a shelf display... wish I had thought of that as it looked fantastic.

Got my model wagon weathered and had a nice chat with the 'weather lady'.

All in all well worth the trip, spent too much but hey ho.   I came out of the scrum, having let it die down, with a nice little Ivatt 2-6-2 doesn't seem to be much wrong with it for £25.

Just posted to Dapol my form to reserve my class 66 Evening Star club special. Artwork drawings look great.
Not really my era this loco but can't miss this opportunity. Wonder when it will be available?

I am going to scan my order in the morning Bob, not seen the artwork but the images of the real thing look good.

No idea  I received the welcome pack, sent a few emails to get the collectors club model on the open day (as I wasn't able to attend)

But that's been the last I heard from them, the wagon is great though!
