Dapol are a fun company to follow. They’ve struggled with performance in the past with some of their locomotives, but they’ve been getting better over time, whilst also keeping their prices fairly reasonable. I wonder if the motors on the large prairie have been improved, that was one of the weaker parts of that model, or so I’ve heard. It’s weird that dapol have had so many problems in the past, because their mechanisms on paper are right what you’d want them to be, and yet several just didn’t work properly, or didn’t last long. But I do root for them, they give the impression they are trying to do their best in most areas. I don’t know if they actually are, but that’s the impression I get. They’ve even invested in infrastructure so that some of their models can be produced in the UK. They aren’t as pretty, but they are affordable!
Wow, not a modeller currently I watch what's going on. Something for everyone there. Brilliant line up. I used to see the ore hoppers regularly on the Banbury Etruria workings in the evenings. I had a commendation once for having a train stopped with a hot box. The journal actually fell of as it came to a stand preventing a major accident. 👍👍
What a contrast with Hornby's model cancellations and price increases. However Dapol need to move on from using tender drive and traction tyres on their tender stean locomotives. The industry has moved on from that and if you put the motor in the locomotive you have space for a speaker in the tender.
Nice to see decent models at sensible prices unlike 2 other manufacturers
Dapol absolutely rocks O Gauge 🍻
Got Dapol 7817 & 7821 for myself on pre order. And 7822 for my boyfriend. It’s gonna be a good Christmas this year! A very well presented video 👍

Nice to see positive news. Really attractive O gauge rolling stock 👍
I would like to see more of N gauge with sound locomotives. With other rolling stock is top notch especially the lighting system
Excellent presentation.
I think that factory applied graffiti is a mistake, as realistic as it might be.

Go Dapol! Tempting even me Mr 2nd hand 😂
Have to say these look fantastic, but I still wouldn't ever pay near £200 personally for a single loco
Some great stuff from Dapol 😎👍
At least Dapol are a reasonable price in all scales .
The N Gauge items seem to be quite well priced 😊
I’d be interested in the DB loco and coaches
That's a good number of items.
1:40 O Gauge
7:35 OO Gauge
0:53 N Gauge

Oops! I was tired 😆

Dapol haven't used tender drive for 30 years plus
Eh? I think your info is out of date by some margin (unless you can reference where you’re getting that from and enlighten me)?😊
Still no West Country/Battle of Britain in n . About 12 years since it was first promised. Will it ever appear?
These are toys and are completely overpriced. No wonder the hobbies failing badly. Shame
Sniggering, not snickering please.
No sniggering or snickering please 👍🏼
Can't believe some people are saying the prices are ok .Absolute joke .Prices are horrendous .
£270 for a ready to run 0 gauge loco ain't bad, Hornbys 00 locos cost more.
