There are some lovely shots of the prototypes for the forthcoming Merchant Navy and 57/3 on another well-known forum...

The MN will have Southern fans getting excited!

Thanks Adam,
Now I'm not sure whether I should pre order one in case Dapol don't proceed with their spam can

Have both! Dapol are doing the smaller West Country / Battle of Britain, so we're going to be spoiled for Spamcans! 

I've got 2 MN from Farish so my pre order was specifically 'Spitfire' from Dapol.
Just hope it doesn't bite the dust in their 'consolidation'.
That new MN does look the dogs doo-dahs tho'

Got a blue and a green one on order. They are light years ahead of the older farish ones! Bring on the merchant navys!
