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!
These were among my first artworks created for Dapol, can't wait to see the livery samples!

Congratulations Adam, and thank you for your work.. I bet you enjoyed creating the Wessex livery. Looking forward to seeing the first sample photos.
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.
