Dapol Sleepers

Dapol really should have come to Peterborough and used E10731 at Overton (formerly Ferry Meadows). They could have popped over to mine for a cup of tea at the same time

I thought I'd post this image to show what can be done (quite easily) to the blue/grey sleepers to improve their look. A strip of 6mm masking tape aligned with the bottom of the coach windows and some RailMatch BR blue paint and I ended up with this result.

Holy thread revival Batman...

The latest batch of Dapol's Mk3 sleepers appear to be arriving in shops. Intercity Exec ang Intercity Swallow only at the moment - others loco hauled liveries due next year (spring?).

It'll be interesting to see if the livery application is better than the original batch. Fingers crossed.

The Swallow and Executive Sleepers (and other Mk3 loco-hauled coaches) are going out to retailers now. I hope you agree the finish is MUCH better.

The bad news is that the remaining Mk3s have been put back to May next year. It was either that or delay the 56 and 87.
