Not sure if this has been posted yet or not, but Dapol have some rather nice bits on show at DEMU this weekend.
Most impressive was the Arriva Trains Wales Mk3 boxed set, which will consist of a Class 67, Mk3 TSO, Mk3 RFM and DVT, with extra TSOs available.
The DVT was also shown in Network Rail yellow. Dave also had unpainted bodyshells for the Class 33 and 33/1 on show, with different variants depending on headlights. It looks great and Southern Region fans will be most impressed. The Doncaster 56s also really looked the part.
Farish also had their latest releases on show - nothing that hasn't been seen before but a good chance to see the new Class 55 close-up. Me want.
At the risk of shameless self-publicity, N-Train and myself were taking pre-orders for the 3D-Printed Class 313 EMU and LT 1959 stock. I received a big stack of vinyls from Bob on Saturday morning, including the production 313 artwork and managed to finish a unit in Southern livery.

Nice! :thumbsup:
I've no idea if it looks right or not but it looks nice!

Ah, a diesel I actually know of! :laugh:
I reckon it will sell well when it hits the shops.

Hopefully this time without having to wait 3 years for the extra coaches. Definitely a nice choice. Pity there are practical problems with doing the chiltern sets.

This Southern fan is most impressed with your livery :thumbsup: and if this was an Electrostar, I'd buy it like a shot! The Southern 313s are nice to look at from the side and quite nice to travel in but the front/rear of the train, I find to be very ugly!

Not for me, though (apart from not being able to print silver). :D
I need to re-send the file to the printers - for some reason, it has been corrupted.
Hi Adam;
Looking at the 313 transfers, they do look impressive......but is there some registration issues around the doors or was it the hurried application is a little off. Not being critical..just trying to understand the issues involved as I will be after a 314 at some stage...
Regards;
STU from EGDL
Very good work Adam. :)

I had the same trouble with my Connex 456. I believe Adam is looking into it....and maybe some replacements doors for me. ;)

Bit of a showstopper that one :'(
Unless your new printers can do silver ?

I think this is down to the application, which was performed at DEMU, in the half-light, heat and whilst standing up :) Modelling by the seat of your pants!
I will do a "proper job" for any review samples.
I had a set of the Chiltern Mainline vinyls off Adam at the weekend. They do look good. Not sure when I will get time to do them but the donor Farish Mk3's are awaiting stripping.
