Title: Any issues with "new" Dapol 57xx?
Post by: Mattewes on January 24, 2020, 11:41:52 AM
Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask, but does anyone have any recent Panniers from Dapol? I have read a few threads on here from a few years back where people have said they had issues with them. I am really tempted to make my second loco a 57xx - in particular 2S-007-013 but want to make sure they don't have the same issues of old.

Many Thanks!

I have the 2S-007-001 model which is a good looker and runner. A barely imperceptible 'wobble' but not enough to return it.

Thank you for the quick reply! Just what I wanted to hear... you may have just cost me £70!!  ;)
