Thanks RailGooner - fingers crossed they are on their way and will be with us soon - I want me another toothpaste coloured one.

I'm want the GBRf pair.

Hmm, I'd missed that announcement by Kernow. Decisions decisions.....

Hi cheers for the info. So they should be out by now then. We did wait about 5 years when dapol said they were releasing the class 50. Hope someone gets some more info from Dapol at TINGS . Cheers Steve.

I wouldn't bank on any new info being either accurate or useful.

They had a few painted samples today at TINGS. Including NSE (it's the wrong shade of blue for me though, booo), Defiance and Thunderer. Didn't see the GBRF pair. Didn't ask about dates.

The Dapol chap at the stand said that these have been manufactured and that we are simply waiting on the vageries of international shipping at present.

Think the livery on one of those is out of date already! The real 50007 now seems to have had 50014 on one side replaced by 50034.

I am tempted to order them though - 50s look good in that GBRF livery.

Hi, just seen on rails of Sheffield that the second batch of dapol class 50's were due in on the 4th May. Anyone seen this and heard anything about this. Looking forward to them.

I am purchasing one through The Fifty Fund.

I was recently advised that they would be available sometime in May.

Regards,

I ordered one of the new bactch from Rails, it was despatched today, Kernow also showing in stock.

Odd - I looked at Kernow just how and that was showing them as not in stock.
