Title: Dapol new DMU announcements
Post by: devonjames on October 14, 2022, 10:48:37 AM
Dapol have announced new livery versions of their
Class 142
Class 153
Class 156
All appear to be due for release in the second quarter of 2023 but pre-orders are being accepted now - or at least Hattons are taking pre-orders without requesting any up front payment, I'm not sure about others.

I've got my order in for a Class 142 in First Great Western blue and gold (I'm tempted to order a second one of these) and also an order for a Class 153 in Wessex Trains maroon which will be a nice complement to the black/gold version already released.  Luckily for my bank balance none of the new 156's are in a livery that tempts me.

You had me there with NEW DMU.
You should have said new versions or re-runs.
Drat!

Hi Adam,

Did you do the Northern livery?

If you did, which Northern is it?

I'll be having one regardless.

Regards,

John P

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone.

The Northern unit is the latest white/blue livery with uppercase NORTHERN wording.
