  • Dapol have created a model of the great looking Great western Prairie and this video covers my early impressions of the model steam engine. I have enjoyed a few hours of this loco on my model railway and I am really pleased with it.

    Delightful narration. This is so important as on other sites, the human voice makes me reach for the extinguisher.

    Smart ! Dapols new Toplight coaches will be ideal to go with it .

    Hi Tris, Thanks for a great review. Mine's still in the box. I went for the shirtbutton livery as I am focussing on the late 1930s when I eventually get in the loft. I love the GWR Prairies. I see Dapol are bringing out a fleet of GWR toplight coaches, these will look great behind our Prairies won't they. Starting to save now. The Manor also very tempting too. Great catching up, take care and see you soon!

    Great loco Tris, mine is the same but I got DCC fitted. A quick test in both DC & DCC and all seems ok. I also got another Airfix 14xx as a non runner for £12 along with it, a sprinkling of my magic dust will soon have that going again it’s not completely dead.

    • @OONeal
      @OONeal  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice review Tris. A very nice loco. I will say the cab detail is very nice too. As for the cylinder bars I would say that Dapol have done them like that mainly for maintenance reasons so if you need to remove the sliding cylinder piece for what ever reason you can put it back on more easily as it has a bend on each end. That is my guess see what other people say. - Nicholas.

    My Engine, okay after a 2 hour running in session the locomotive is preforming well. This is the longest running session I have ever conducted. My locomotive is a DDC sound version

  • @theclaggy37
    @theclaggy37 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    would imagine the slide bars are flared for ease of production, making the crosshead easier to slide in

  • @jameskalas16
    @jameskalas16 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review Tris. I received my late BR version yesterday. Looking at my Mogul next to it, the flared sections you mentioned on the running gear are pretty straight on my model… compared to the mogul anyway 👍🏻

  • @davidsheriff8989
    @davidsheriff8989 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video....quality loco...could the flaring be to allow free movement of the driving piston ?

  • @richardlennards7823
    @richardlennards7823 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Tris I have just received my GWR green version. Yes very nice, some minor issues with the sound chip not being fitted properly and some pick up issues which are still persistent. I have not fully run the locomotive in yet so I hope that the issues will go away.

    • @carllawton9520

      I have exactly the same problem as you I believe you have to file the front wheels chassis down where the two springs are fitted. There is another video on TH-cam how to do it, but I’ve not tried yet.

    I found a small pip of plastic on top of the rear pony truck on my Dapol 5150; removing this stopped my loco occasionally stalling on electrofrog points. Once done, I have had trouble free running from mine too. If your track is uneven and the engine is stalling, see if there is a pip on your rear pony truck? Your dad's track looks nice and crisp and even.
    The only reports of weak motors I have heard applied to the Hornby new tooled prairie, released earlier in 2021.. definitely one to avoid.
    I like the (Bachmann city class?) 4-4-0 running as powered scenery in the video.. city of london, city of bath?

    • @OONeal
      @OONeal  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I will have a look for that pip. That’s right it’s a city class. I think this one was Truro. Thanks for commenting.

  • @alistairkewish651
    @alistairkewish651 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can’t see the need for powered Pony Trucks. They don’t really do much of the hard work, do they? They were designed to guide every loco round curves and over crossings. Do other manufacturers power their ponies?

    Mould marks look so naff. I agree.
