Purchased my first and last Dapol loco!

[Marcus Amison]

Hi. I would like to thank everyone for their help nod advice. Maybe I was a little premature in stating that this would be my first and last Dapol. I had a friend of mine come over yesterday with his Farish 66 and the first thing I noticed was the diameter of the wheels were less than the Dapol. This did make a huge difference. He also told me that the Early Dapol 66's did have slightly larger wheels as with others in the range and with the latest models this shouldn't be such a problem.  I have decided that once I start to lay the second half of my layout I will use code 80 Electrofrog turnouts, not just to minimise any future shorting issues but also to improve slow speed shunting operations. Again, thx for all your help.
