Any N Gauge modelers out there, have a look at Dapol's new photo of the 2-6-2 Ivett loco due out soon on http://www.dapol.co.uk/
They have shots of the the new coaches and wagons also due out soon.

Dapol really appear to be an asset to the British N-Scale modeller. I can remember the Minitrix Ivatt 2MT from years ago and this Dapol one is far superior.I assume it will run as well as it looks

John,
Dapol's 45xx and 14xx are both very good runners at both speed and at very slow running. The M7 is a good model but seems to be under powered. It runs well at low speed and all 3 are very good looking models. I have all 3 of them.
Dapol's class 66's are very good as well from the looks, a few minor things could be changed but they are very popular and my local model shop can't get enough of them. (not a Dapol star shop). I am also very impressed with the rolling stock. As I am not a rivet counter they are all up to the standard I enjoy.

I agree Syd. Although N-scale models are constantly improving most commercial produced ones still have to be a compromise. A modeller who can accept this will really enjoy the hobby and all it has to offer. Anyone who can't live with this shouldn't even consider N-scale
John.
