I am thinking the coal shoveling is a generic sound taken from the coal being on the floor. This loco has a bunker in front of the cab and over the firebox. Chances are the coal never gets on the floor and is shoveled from the bottom of the bunker or a box below it, a differing sound? Also for all steam locos that do not have a self leveling bunkers they have to level or push forward the coal load as the bunker is emptied. (Very dangerous job when under the wire.) One to add in the future?

hi, great video, super little loco, great for small layouts, will get one,

They are cute little engines, I will admit. I don't have room for one, I'm sorry to say. I guess the second batch of new Manor models will never see the light of day, due to the factory taking too long to help you get them released. You're not to blame for this at all.

Any room for a small stay alive on these lovely models?

Genuinely beautiful! I hope that they’re still in stock in a few months so I can get one when I have actual money Lmao

Great looking loco & a wonderful video

When can we expect them in the shops?

So, how far away are they currently estimated to be?

Question, has Dapol ever considered making a short video for each loco when released showing an un boxing and fitting a decoder , lubricating bogies, accessories etc. In some cases a video would work far better than an instruction sheet which assumes familiarity with various things. Recently i received a new N gauge Western, it took me 20 minutes to remove the body shell and to swap out a bogie it felt like I was about break something serious other than the bogie frame. I'm sure I'm not alone in this observation.

Wonderful little engine !

Cracking little loco.👍

Very nice

i weant a class 196 and 197

Can’t believe there’s no gold star liveried 323 but hey ho

Hi, slightly confused do you really have an N Gauge BR 3MT in production (if so amazing suprise) or should that be O Gauge or should it be the n gauge ivatt 2-6-2 which didn't appear to have a mention?

Please do a Z class in 00

It's just a shame dapol didn't do all the north British class 22 in oo gauge that they promised,

Definitely want the class 323 well done dapol

Must admit you’ve got a lot of models in the pipeline . I too have your class 68 models and am very impressed . I still rate this as the best diesel in OO today

Ever since the introduction of Class 68 your innovation and production of high class locos has gone up in leaps and bounds.Well done Dapol.Looking forward to the 323 !😊

Thank you Dapol. You guys produce some outstanding modern image stock. Have already preordered the 323! Please look at producing a class 325 at some point in the future!

No sound on item!,

Really are a thing of beauty. Got to fit crew and passengers, did you use HO people?

The artworks for 60007, BoB and WC look brilliant. Looking forward to the models

WC/BOB had been a long, long time coming. Will be glad to see them, but won't hold my breath

These look promising! Though I hope you'll take your time with quality control and motor effenciency, I've noticed Dapol has more of a 'quantity over quality' type of approach.

Nice would like the 59 baby shed in OO guage just asking any plans in the same scale for the eletro cats as in the class 88 locos as be nice to have a couple of them

Cracking looking model, superb in fact👍✌️😊, not sure about the sound effects though🤔☹️

I've already pre-ordered 7822 Foxcote Manor of Batch 2 status. Analogue version, that is. Dapol, you did me proud with the Mogul and Hinton Manor. You've done so again, I'm 100% certain. Roll on the arrival of Foxcote Manor, on the Cat Valley Steam Railway. She will replace the older Bachmann version I have. If I had the choice of buying either a Bachmann Manor or Dapol Manor, there'd be no contest. I choose your Manor model: removable coal load and firebox glow at an affordable price. What more could one ask for? Your Manor models are simply the best, better than all the rest, Better than anything, anything yet to pass the test.😂😘🤗😁

Would love some in Southern green

Look fabulous. I hope it will encourage Dapol to produce more LBSCR items....enough locos lasted through the Southern and into BR days to make it commercially viable!

Look great, really nice... Shame they are a little too large for me.

Superb !!!

Impressive.

So if the signal is set to Clear & the power is turned off, does the arm stay in the Clear position or return to the stop position?

2 years later, still waiting

Interesting mix of details there. 59/0 bodyshell (003 unless I'm mistaken) with a 59/2 underframe. I hope this is just a test fitting with details to be correct before production.

What about the OO Class 59s? Did my preorders years ago.

Be nice to see the OO Gauge class 59 that we have been waiting a lifetime for

How about some locos that are not Southern or Western related! A nice Black Five or Ivatt 4MT! any news on when the BR bracket signals will be coming? I have a space earmarked for them already!

Will the GWR mogul have the driveshaft from the tender to the loco or something else? Sorry if I missed if this has been said elsewhere.

Nice sound. Who's sound file is it?

Looks awesome! I thought the thumbnail was real at first sight!

Body is a bit on the Wobbly side?

DAFT DAPOL & THEIR WHACKY WIRING. Pretty looking but operationally pretty stupid ! Like all their previous semaphores, the wiring method provided is extremely limited. All you can do is individually change the signal between "go" & "stop" !! Indeed there isn't even the option of having a control panel repeater to show you whether the signal is at danger or clear. Not helpful if you can't see the signal from where you are operating !!! In real life the semaphore signals on each track controlled by each signal box had to be operated in a specific order ! The most important semaphore was the "Distant", which was the first signal a Driver saw as he approached a signaled area. The Distant if at "Caution" told the driver, one or more of the following "stop" signals is at Danger, so be prepared to stop !!! If the Distant was at "clear" this told the Driver that ALL "stop" signals controlled by this signalbox were also at "clear". So the Driver could proceed at line speed in the knowledge he had a totally clear line, ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE AREA COVERED BY THIS SIGNALBOX. A fact some modelers totally fail to understand !!! Indeed to comply with the basic fundamental rule of semaphore signalling, which was: "ONLY ONE train may be present on each track (called a "Running Line") in the WHOLE area covered by the signalbox. Irrespective of how many signals were actually provided. Which reveals that semaphore, specifically FORBIDS trains to follow each other from signal to signal. Which is why it is known as "ABSOLUTE block" The "NEW" junction signals, as seen in this programme, appear to be even DAFTER than their previous signals. For the simple reason these models are intended for a "two route junction". Obviously in real life the driver can only take ONE route, and only ONE of the two signals could be showing a "Clear" line. Both the signals would be "interlocked" with the point giving access to either route, so that ONLY the signal for the route set could be cleared. A Fact that could have easily been included electrically in that oversized box at the base of these models, but isn't !!! I bought a large number of these semaphores from GAUGEMASTER, on my way back overseas. Only too discover when I reached home that the wiring options shown where absolute NONSENSE. The options included wiring them via a "Relay". But this was totally idiotic, as you still needed a "biased mini toggle switch" to control the relay ! So the relay did NOTHING, except do what the switch was doing, as it couldn't replace the switch, IMBECILIC ! As this isn't the only DAFT wiring I have found in DAPOL products, I'm increasingly of the impression NO one at DAPOL, actually understands electricals, & certainly not signalling. Indeed DAPOLS semaphores appear to assume two things by their production. One everybody uses DCC, and two DCC modelers know NOTHING about signalling. Which is INSULTING to the customer !!!!!!! For the Record, I am an ex Railway Engineer, who has worked with many railways around the world, for over 40 years, from BR to New Zealand, & in many railway departments, including signalling ! Happy Modelling 😝.

Awesome

Nothing about the Lionheart Prairie???

Any news on the Stroudley 4 wheel coaches please

One I'm most excited for is the leslie

Can these be wired into the hornby dcc point/accessory decoder?
