Title: Dapol GWR Large Prairie (in OO)
Post by: Bob G on December 18, 2017, 04:22:57 PM
There is to be a Dapol GWR Large Prairie in OO.

I saw it on the Hattons site here: http://www.hattons.co.uk/NewsDetail.aspx?id=231 (http://www.hattons.co.uk/NewsDetail.aspx?id=231)
and here: https://www.dapol.co.uk/Proud-to-announce-the-launch-of-the-all-new-OO-Gauge-GWR-Large-Prairie-2-6-2-Locomotive (https://www.dapol.co.uk/Proud-to-announce-the-launch-of-the-all-new-OO-Gauge-GWR-Large-Prairie-2-6-2-Locomotive)

Now I have a couple of the Farish Poole versions of this loco and its a loco full of character. I don't understand why Farish have not updated it.
Hopefully this will come to N in a year or two? But hopefully NOT with the OO version's firebox glow (burned out capacitor perhaps, or shades of Tri-ang's M7) but certainly with DCC sound as per the OO version.

Let the shrink ray messages go forth....

Are you sure it's not the old Airfix kit relaunched ?
