Quote from: madchadbrad on April 09, 2026, 09:17:48 PMApart from the numbering, are there any other differences between the push-pull versions of Dapol's Ivatt 2MT tank locos and the non-push-pull versions?

Yes, the very prominent push-pull equipment by the smokebox, unlike the GW locos which had mechanical linkages, LMS ones had a vacuum driven system.

Thanks!
Darn it! That probably means that s/h examples of the original Dapol production run version will be like for hens teeth ... or any new run version at premium price!

I wonder it anyone does an add-on moulding/3D print that could be added to a non-push-pull loco?

Foreigner '4'. An album very much of its time but still worth a listen to now and then

Yes - the push-pull version has extra tooling for the pimps and fiddly bits.

Now that's a really unfortunate typo :smiley-laughing:

I did send an email the other day, as I was chasing up an order. He did reply and said he has received a lot of orders and volumes were very high.
An update is available on his website. I will put the link to it below.

Apart from the numbering, are there any other differences between the push-pull versions of Dapol's Ivatt 2MT tank locos and the non-push-pull versions?

Quote from: Steven B on April 02, 2026, 09:01:10 AMI've not had replies to any recent requests to resize existing sheets. Shame as there's stuff in OO and TT120 that I need but the N Gauge version doesn't exist.

He does say somewhere that often re-scales are more complicated as he also reworks the colours of logos to simplify the design so the 2mm version isn't just a blurred blob, but most of what I want is simple single colour text.


the ones I'm after are for the Consett Iron Ore hoppers, its just white text and a white symbol, again, available in 4mm and TT but not 2mm.

He defo has those as I ordered and received:

@scorpion_1925 - what I meant was he definitely already has in 2mm per the link I posted.


Yeah i saw those, unfortunately you were let down by my inability to read my own handwriting. what i'm actually wanting is BR ex-LMS 40t Stonebridge Park coal wagons reducing in size
