Unboxing & Running the Dapol Class 121
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2018
- This is my first loco/unit purchase from Dapol. Overall I was very impressed by the detail and features of the model. I've also included some history of the real thing in the video which I hope you find useful.
I bought these units as a limited edition from hattons. They are still available and the link for them is below.

• DMU Diesel Train Drive...
I've been very fortunate to drive a Schamall contractor. She had a nine speed air transmission from a locomotive. It was superb! It was around Bordon camp. We had just taken a friend's centurion to a show and now she was going back to bed. I'm not sure what the all up wieght was. But the tank was 56 tons on a trailer that belonged to the reme museum. So I can't imagine that was light. But with the Schamall, when you changed gear is was very low rpm and you just hit the gear select back. Like a motorcycle set of gears. Nine forward, two reverse. The chap who owned it and built her used to beat through those gears like a magician. The while truck would lurch and pull lifting the front left wheel. My only experience with locomotive gearing. Thaught I would share.
Thank you for explaining the history, for those of us who spent little time in England, and doing a really good un boxing. You layout looks like it's comming along nicely!
Hello Richard i purchased one of these on Tuesday from Hattons and they are on special offer of £79 i was happy with that. As always with Hattons it turned up Yesterday,and it has run fine and it runs alright around my small layout with tight curves.
The music at the start is the best part of the video. Great choice and all seems to be running smoothly. Cheers Matt
Good to see you back, it is always a pleasure watching and learning from your videos! The layout is starting to take shape and the DMU is a nice piece of detailed loco!
I want to thank you for all your videos on the layout rebuild. I just moved in with some friends who specificalyl wanted a decent basement so I had room to expand my modules into a layout and all your videos have definately been insightful and helpful in all my benchwork projects. I can't wait to see your rebuild fully done.
Richard, it's really great to see you back again. Cannot wait for more. Such a wonderful review, including the underside and inside of the model. Great job, and thanks for providing us with such useful information
Hello Richard i purchased one of these from Hattons on Tuesday.My layout is a lot smaller than yours,with some really tight curves,and its been fine so far.It does run a lot better after a run in though.£79 i paid and i was happy with that.
Nice to see you back Richard. Great review and layout looking good. Keep them coming
I remember when model locos were a motor, dive grain of wheat bulbs, and some wipers to pick up power from the wheels. Now they are full of circuit boards with capacitors, diodes, inductors, millions of switches for different configurations .....
Just a big smile on my face. Steady-eddy work. I love that you just set your camera and let your trains do the talking. Nice
I occasionally used to see the aylesbury to risborough one running as I had to stop at a level crossing on my journey to work,it commonly carried school children to school in aylesbury
Seriously.....I am like a little kid at Xmas when I get your notifications. BRILLIANT
Love the review of the Class 121 bubble car Richard.
B.U.T. was British United Traction, which a joint venture between Leyland & Associated Equipment Company (AEC)for their Railway traction & trolleybus products. AEC later purchased Crossley's & Park Royal body builders and formed ACV group. Leyland purchased a share holding in ACV in the late 1960's. Leyland later brought the remaining shares held my the Transport Holding company and then shut down AEC at Southall, Park Royal in West London in 1979. British Rail standardised on Leyland engines for their remaining Diesel Railcar fleets in the late 1970's & 1980's
I enjoyed the history of the DMU. The unit looks great.
An excellent looking model and the history of the class made it more interesting. The layout is coming along very good, well done Richard.
I'm glad to see that your using tail lamps on the coaching stock. A detail that many model railway builders omit. "Train complete", in more ways than one. 😉
Adding the camber to the curves really makes a difference. Pleased to see it. They look so much better.
I really enjoyed you going over the history of the class 121. Is this going to be a regular thing or is it a one off? As always love your videos, cant click on them fast enough. :D
I agree. Really interesting to have some history before seeing the model!
Would be nice if it was regular, helps people decide what fits thier layout (im now looking for a 1st gen for my layout)
Hoping to see some regular updates now this madness of a heat wave has passed. My loft was intense. So i feel ya. Thanks for letting us know and look forward to more
I loved the history part, well actually i loved the whole video, thank you, keep up the good work. Great format video!
I seem to recall seeing one of these running a shuttle service in Cardiff for arriva about 10 years ago.
Good to see this up date Richard, also glad you added 55033 which is on the Colne Valley Railway (as a still photo, with our 141). 55033 has a class 122 cab style one end due to hitting the buffer stop's at Stourbridge the end cab damaged after hitting a herd of Cattle, it arrived in the triple blue livery of West Midlands, since repainted into BR green (on CVR, the trailer car(s) have corridor connections, which the unit's don't have! ). I look forward to future updates, I have had to lifted the track on my own Black Robin layout, due to buckling because off the heat. will replace relay as a end to end layout. (was not 95% happy with it anyway).
Nice work Richard. I live in Florida and understand avoiding the heat all too well. Will be looking for your future updates as it cools off a bit. Cheers, Dan
Hi there,, thanks again for your update it's great to see the latest progress of the new layout can't wait to see the finished product.👍👍
That's a nice new model Richard. Sadly not seen in Scotland so I wont be getting one. But well don't to Dapol for giving us this model is a variety of liveries. Thanks for your continued support at the end as well. Cheers. Dave
Dapol also do a class 122 in Blue/Grey, with Eastfield having one in departmental service for route learning.
The unit was TDB977177 and requires nothing more than a renumbering and a pair of small Scotty dog transfers.
I have a video on my channel showing how to do some renumbering, and it's a great way to customise your models!
ua-cam.com/video/rD4k9gVv1gY/v-deo.html
Nice to see my two favorite modelers chatting together.
Cheers Dave. You might be able to get away with the 122 (which is basically the same). Some were allocated to Ayr in the 70s but I'm not sure how long they stayed for. Dapol offer the 122 in Blue & Grey or Regional Railways livery.
+Everard Junction: Some were allocated to Ayr in the 70s but I'm not sure how long they stayed for.
As I mentioned to Dave (and showed him pics on Facebook), Eastfield had a departmental Class 122 unit used as a route learner in the period that he models.
It's a great way to throw in a unit that doesn't serrve as a standard passenger unit.
Wow! Things are finally moving again on track...What a great opening...
Living in Australia I pretty well understand summer heat (we average temperatures above 38 Celsius (up to high 40's) throughout the summer and usually do not get below 25 at night.) My Layout is in a tin shed with thin insulation and that gets very hot during the day...I use a couple fans at each end of the shed, one blowing in the other blowing out creating a continuous are flow across the layout, through the shed and over the work bench (most important).
Would it be possible for you to set up a flow through system similar before next summer to allow you more comfort in the attic?
Being comfortable and able to work on a beloved hobby more often would make Everard Junction come to fruition far faster and (for purely my own benefit) offer many more videos to watch...as I vicariously enjoy your layout and its progress as my layout languishes while I have to build a massive "toy train" display at the local museum. Something that will not be done with until Easter 2019.
Really good to see you back in the loft/attic and am very interested in the Class 121 as I hope to do a small display layout using the 121 in two scales creating forced perspective for the show circuit in Queensland Australia. A great review and another great video...informative, comprehensive, entertaining and accurate. Keep them coming...Love 'em all.
OMG at 3:22 when you mention the class 117s the picture you used is a picture of the class 117 set my dad owns we have the power cars DMS 51412 and DMBS 51370 at the whitwell and reepham Railway in Norfolk the centre car is now a spares donor at gcrn thanks so much for sharing a rare pic of our set we haven't seen yet keep up the good videos regards Michael
Always great to watch another of your video's. Well shot with plenty of detailed information -both visual and narrated.
Although I'm steam era I have a fascination with early DMU's and one of these with speed whiskers would be great for me!
Keep up the good work. There may be a wait sometimes, but its always worth it.
Nicely done! I can't say I'm a fan of unboxing videos, but I sat through this one, and like your description of and modifications to the unit, as well as the video of it running.
Brilliant unboxing video, and so nice to see you back as your video bring back memories of my childhood and seeing NSE dmu’s running on my local line.
I bet the detailing on the door glass is a warning telling you not to lean out of the window. I think pretty all doors had those notices on the slam door trains. Lovely little addition to the layout, will fit in very nicely.
Very nice train looks good in the track 🚅🚅🚅
Lovely model Richard. Very interesting idea to automate the branch line, can’t wait to see what’s next.
my type of model review, great balance.
layout looks great, the rail level shots really show off the track detailing to best effect.
progress to date, looks very impressive.
Great model and so many memories of the Greenford branch line bubble car. You made me buy one. My guard steps on the bogie just pop off around corners so I have some modding to do.
Hi, nice video enjoyed the history of the model and your layout is taking shape, look forward to your next video thanks. Regards George..
Finally finished my first ever layout. I got all my help from watching your videos. Thank you so much.
Just bought the 121. Happy puppy. Thanks for the video especially the history of the class.
Hope the rebuild is going well, looking forward to the next video
I love the look of single unit trains! Good to hear from you again!
layout is looking great, the 2 DMU's look very at home, like the automated branchline too, nicework,
A thouroughly good review there.
It's good to see a model with proper lighting rather than silly switches underneath for turning on/off the tail-lights.
Interestingly, I contributed to this model by providing livery information to Dapol a couple years ago.
Ive heard sound fitted to one of these, wow it sounds amazing, you can hear the gear changes and everything
Smashing video! The narrated opening explaining the history is so well put together and not very often covered in loco reviews! Nice touch and an eye opener seeing where the typical operational locations are. Going to research if they made any appearance in the Exeter or Laira regions..
Totally agree with the hot weather.. nice with a cold lager in the garden but absolutly unbearable in the loft. That said my track is down and just powering up this week!..
Tim
my type or model review, great balance.

progress to date, looks very impressive.
Your videos are always welcome here, glad to see your back again
Layout is looking good, nice to see some running time
Really enjoyed the video, look forward to the next,being following your videos since 2013 and got to say best layout and commentary of all the channels I watch cheers from Ireland darryl
Was literally just thinking about Everard Junction. Although it's not something you do particularly often I really enjoy your reviews as you do research the prototype as well as on model too.
I love the diesel leviathan (the one with the cleaning wagon) and I have slightly used it too much because the motor have given up and a puff of smoke came out with made me panic and tried to do CPR on it. Love the review and the struggle of starting up a new train.
It looks much better with passenger figures fitted as it takes away the ghost rain effect.
I have 2 121, in BR blue, and a GRW one. Dapol and Hornby. Great video and history of the class. I agree with your comments on the Class. 3rd radius is the best on the Dapol. Hornby is quite good(Railroad) version. Dapol is delicate mine came from Rails DCC fitted.
Hi Richard, great video are there no limits to your skill levels, not only is your layout top class but your video editing is up there with the best, well worth the wait, all the best Martin.
Looks like an amazing loco Richard hope you enjoy it!
Ps. Cant wait if you ever consider weathering it!
we wait with great anticipation to see your latest layout update. Hope it's all going well for you mate.
As usual, a very informative and interesting video, the 121 does indeed look a good model, and will look even better with weathering. Your track looks good too, love the banking of the track
I've had models that had light bleed, I fixed it with silver paint on the back side of the light bulb. The inside coach lighting I've fixed with lining the interior walls with foil tape and painted over it a suitable color. You might want to have it a go some time!
Brilliant review right there. If love to see your APT-E on those banked curves, so realistic.
A nice looking model. Modern Models are tampo printed rather than sprayed usually. Dapol can be a bit hit or miss with their QC at times.
I have two 121s in N'Gauge and a122 as well brilliant models from Dapol
Can't wait until you start the scenery
Great vid I'm with you on the weather can't wait for next one always a pleasure to watch .
Was just watching some of your how to videos and this came up brilliant
Excellent review Richard of the Dapol bubble cars. Wondering when you were going to do a review, as I had seen the other 121 in the back ground of you previous videos. Will be considering buy one of units next month.
Lovely video nice to see trains on the branch line and the mainline
nice units glad to see another one of your videos , ( I have to get some more done for my layout) good lick with the rebuild josh
Dapol really are beginning to take the lead with their models in my opinion.
I hope they (or someone) start releasing rakes of coaches, say 4 or 5, that have DCC lighting and passengers installed as standard in both 00 and N. They're already half way there with their light bars. Now all they have to do is fit a decoder and some form of connection between coaches. I'd happily pay good money for that. Converting 30 coaches yourself can be a bit of a challenge, eh?
Hopeful Swanage Railway will be operating a 121 bubble car on it service to Wareham and on to network rail in 2019. It is due to return to Swanage in late September 2018 from Arlington at Eastleigh
Great review! I hope you'll show us the weathering and modifications in another video too :)
They are a nice looking pair . Very nice.
The layout it looking fantastic to. Keep it going
As always, you do exquisite work. You are a true craftsman.
I like these loco reviews, wouldn't mind seeing more. :)
I remember getting this train to high school everyday, the memories 😁😁😁😁
Hey!! Nice to see you back.... Great Dapol model... Thanks!
Enjoyed your review of the 121 bubble car very informative, just as a matter of interest unfortunately for AEC , British Leyland became the parent company to them in 1962. Must get a 121 for my AEC model Collection, I do agree about the the driver in cab and passengers in the saloon adds to the model, I have done this with some of my AEC Bus & Coach model the latest being some scratchbuild 1/ 76 scale AEC Reliances of Christchurch Transport Board ( New Zealand) also have done the same with EFE 1/76 scale London Transport AEC , sorry about the rabble.
Just found your new post. Glad to see ya back :)
Great review. One of my favourite passenger engines too
There also used to be a former network southeast one running from Hayle to st ives Cornwall
Love the orange and brown parts on the lower sides
Hi Richard
Great video and nice history of the DMU 👍
Love the touch of people as certainly looks authentic
But do feel a Driver in your loco’s would add that final realism effect as looks odd with nobody driving the train 😬
Maybe this is why your train was out of control 😉
Loving all that you doo
All the best Garry
Seems a really nice model! Might have to pick myself up one based on this video!
Joe
Great video of the layout and great to have a history of the new stock
Great video! I have a real soft spot for dmus despite being a steam lover myself. Can't wait for more updates!
Got that from Hattons the other day but in the revised livery. Very happy with it :-)
Great video as always. Might be worth mentioning that if the Class 121 is like the Class 122, not all 21 pin 5 or 6 function decoders will operate all the lights especially the internal saloon light. There seems to be two standards NEM-21-MTC and NMRA-21-MTC. Dapol I believe use the NEM standard so the decoder might need to be a NEM-21-MTC to get the full functionality. I could be wrong though and please correct me if I am.
i,m forever blowing bubbles. lol. very very very good bud, i love what you do to ur trains, may the vids continue. well done bud.
Always enjoy your videos - been quite a while since we've heard from you. Hope there will be something soon!! :-)
Great video! See you again in another 8 months!
Great to have you back great video
I may have missed it, but have you done a video on your track cleaning wagon before? It looks great.
Where do you find the information on coaches and engines used by NSE?
Thank you in advance for your help
I will be buying the O gauge one, so I hope it is as good as the OO one . A most enjoyable review.
Everytime ive tried to dim the lighting with the decoder settings i got flickering so i just added a resistor, for cleaning the wheels, take the lid off turn it upside down and crocodile clip 12v to the motor, use cotton buds with PEEK metal polish for a few seconds on each wheel, you would be surprised what crud this stuff removes
Lovely beast. Good to see you again.
wonderful video, Greetings from France.
Fabulous update Richard 👍🏻
PERFECT! Something I needed to take my mind of certain things!
Can't wait to watch this video :D
Love it! You have the unique ability to inspire me & make me want to quit all at the same time! Regards Richard
why quit? lol We all possess skills others dont. For sum its proper track laying, others its weathering and for others its just doing scenic stuff. Never feel inferior to any one else. thats my motto. I am sure you have skills Richard does not ;-)
DaveClass47 Ha! It was ment as a compliment, one you both could recive tbf.
Regards
Richard
lol I know. But equally so was mine....you have skills yourself. I am sure Richard would be the first to admit he does not have skills in all areas, I certainly don't have lol. Your skills are equally as impressive. Dave
DaveClass47 Where's David and what have you done with him! Lol
Thanks mate, I feel the same with other layouts too!
Hi Richard. I believe that the small sticker on the door says "Push Bar To Open". Its in relation to the bar you had to slide down the window.
I recall the sign saying "push down to open" (meaning push the door window down to access the outer door handle).
Engines -AEC 220ACX and Leyland 680/1-Leyland engines were slightly better than the AEC PROVIDED they got past 50,000 miles.
One Leyland engine was left to run on a Met Camm [101] unit at South Gosforth and got to 220,000 miles before somebody at Division realised what we were up to!
