Ive got D1026 BR Blue (weathered) ,it came with numbers and name plate already fitted. I also own the Heljan version and i think the dapol is better. It has sound fitted and its very noisey, but the 37 just edges it. nice video and i see train tech signals, they are very good. excellant video as usual. Chris
I got one Class 52 BR Blue D1021 Western Cavalier only for £75 at the GCR model event this year Dapol had there stand and selling them cheap (basicly half price) cos there was only a hand full left.
Nice loco and burgundy colour, a bit bare without numbers and names, but then handy to pop your own nameplates on, another great review, thanks for sharing
great video lovely train is well dapol did a miss printed on in n gauge with out the yellow fronts and sold them for about 50 pounds as they where printed wrong my dad said he would of got more than one if he had the money at the itme
i through dapol cant make a loco but they can a diesel but not steam ones odd really nice review how does it compare to hornby ones if you dont mind me asking arp
Hello Matthew it was Great to see and talk to you on Thursday 20th July 2017 up in Cardiff and I would like to say as always what a Great review on Dapol Class 52 D1018 Western Buccaneer in Marron. It's other Livery tho was BR Blue and in the www.itmuseumshop.co.uk website the price is £149.99 out of stock as for the Locomotive itself it was scrapped 20.03.75 BREL Swindon. When your on Facebook next I have found and shared 2 photos of Class 52 or before the TOPS D1018 Western Buccaneer in BR Blue and BR Marron with Headcode 2Z99. JJ
Matt send this to Howes forthwith for sound fitting . The best sounding diesel in the known universe deserves the best sound file . Howes have it . An earth mover 2 speaker would be nice on it , but don't know if they could fit you one of them !!
Other fancier class 52 sound files for a "52" are out there Matt featuring individual engine. start -ups etc ,,,, but I think non replicate the horn / engine sounds of the maybach music like Howes . Simples.
With the dapol the buffer skirt drops off if you want With the helgen everything drops off wether you want it to or not lol, Hornby lima dapol helgen spoilt for choice on westerns depending on budget .
Looks great and I feel that the wipers set it off nicely, to me they give the engine that touch of realism. With the sound added this will be superb.
yeah they are good models
I'd love one of these. Especially since I see Western Champion almost every day
Great review...Great model which runs very smoothly.
thanks Greg
