Better get in quick, only 250 of them, I thought I had ordered one but all I got was an email notification.

So does that mean you will not be buying Maurits?

First off, a disclaimer: I lived in Germany for 15+ years, speak fluent German, find it great that Lidl and Aldi are present in the UK together with a plethora of eastern European shops, and if I ever had to go back to Europe, I'd go straight back to Berlin rather than the UK.

Nevertheless, I feel there's something fundamentally not right about seeing a British loco decked out in DB livery (and red London buses bearing the RATP logo complete with stylized representation of Paris/the Seine).

FWIW the two Dapol locos I have are very satisfactory (can't say the same about the HST).

What am I missing, doesn't look special to me ?

More importantly if these are available does it mean these will be shipped soon too ?

I think they are scheduled for March or April delivery and have sold out already

In all seriousness why is this a special edition? Dapol have already done a DBS 66 haven't they (ND110)? I know Farish have, I've got two! Seems a good price, but nowt special surely...?

Anything produced in a low run is considered Limited Edition. Anyway for those like me who don't do renumbering it is good and yes it is a good price as well. Glad I have one on it's way to me tomorrow. Will post a photo if Santa lets me.

So it's just that it's a different running number? Fair enough!

that's indeed correct, lets say it nicely I haven't got the best experiences with our friends another reason if it's available in GF I would always prefer to buy from them.
