[cmason]

Although I have already built the NGS kit rendering of this, I still wantee... hopefully there will be enough expressions of interest:

Are others interested?

Lets see,

I've expressed an interest in a maroon and a blue BG and a blue/grey Buffet

I have put my name down for a crimson one and a maroon one.

Not sure about getting one yet.

In some respects, given there is a kit (though now nearly out of stock?) it'd be more interesting to me if they do the steel sided ones, though there were a number of variations in the details.

Hi Martyn,

Take a look at Isinglass range.....

If what you want does not show in N Gauge - refer to the 4mm range, then ask if what you want can be added to the N Gauge range....

Worked for me!

Same - the BGs are definitely need for those parcels trains, and I actually saw and travelled on the blue and grey Gresley Buffets when they were still in service.
I really hope Dapol receive enough interest for these.

What I can't tell from the drawings is whether they actually plan to do the correct 8ft bogies or just re-use the 8'6" ones. Although I guess the fact I can't tell from the CAD says it's a minor issue in N anyway.

Older ones had Fox bogies originally and then ex GNR 8ft Gresley single bolster bogies but avoiding that I suspect is just a case of picking the right prototypes.

[Newportnobby]

Evidently these will only be available to order direct from Dapol so there'll be no retailer discount.

But if the price of £39.95 holds firm they are still cheaper than most recent Farish releases with 15% discount applied.

Ditto, even though I have already done some modelling and built one (back in 2011)
