As per title, Dapol have said which colours the Class 50 will appear in next:

The revised NSE was predicted by many on this forum.
Also, there is another special edition from DCC supplies (on next page to link), Thunderer to go with 50015. This is going to get expensive!
Quite excited to see '149 announced as it is a) in my favourite triple grey and b) I recently found this photo of it on test, giving me a great train to model:

Oh dear, there goes another £300 :'( :'( :'(
Just don't tell SWMBO ;) ;) ;)

But confirmed on FB that 50018 never had the later dark blue NSE livery, so it's the revised livery, with the original lighter blue, which is a shame. I'll wait for a dark blue one.

Doesn't automatically mean Dapol WONT do 50018 with the dark blue ;) :D

Yeah, but now I know it's wrong...
So I'm going to have to wait longer still for a GBRf liveried example. That's OK, the Finance Director would rather I wait.
Crying out for a special edition pair! KMS are doing O gauge ones, and they like a good Dapol special...!

I could be reading too much into it but the Kernow Facebook post that announced the new Dapol liveries also said this:
"Keep an eye on our newsletter this week for a further announcement!"
You never know.

The catalogue lists the following:
2D-002-DCC3 - Thunderer 50 008 Late BR Blue, small logo
2D-002-FF2 - Glorious 50 003 BR large logo blue
2D-002-005 Definance 50 149 Railfreight grey
2D-002-006 Ajax 50 046 Large Logo
2D-002-007 Resolution 50 018 late NSE
(all refurbished body shells).
Thunderer is exclusive to DCC Supplies, with Glorious being exclusive to the Fifty Fund.
Ajax was one of the class that got to Manchester on a regular service train so could soon be hauling one of my Mk2 cross country rakes!
I wonder if anyone will do 50 050 in its late BR condition in BR blue with D400 numbers. It was a regular with 50 007 Sir Edward Elgar at the end of the 80s.

Do you mean they are putting different numbers/nameplates on each side or am I still suffering from the effects of too much IPA last night? This is something I've wanted for a long time so you can turn the loco around and effectively have a different loco :thumbsup:
No good for the rivet counters of course

In this case it is, as that is how it runs around on the mainline currently! It's nice to see This is being replicated on the model.

Dapol/Kernow, you just made my day! :bounce:
Nothing for me here, these are all too late, so happy that the Clayton came along and the prototype HST is appearing soon.

Cautiously excited about the GBRF pair, I really hope they get the colours right, their 66s are a disaster.
