Engineering Prototype samples of the OO Gauge 517 models have arrived and Dapol is currently reviewing and testing the samples, while artworks are being finalised to allow the factory to produce decorated samples.
By popular demand, Dapol has also made some changes to the lineup of which locomotives we are offering. 4S-517-001 539 Lined G.W Green Red Frames Open Cab has changed to 4S-517-001 202 Lined G.W Green Red Frames. Dapol has also added 4S-517-006 539 Lined GW Green Black Frames Open Cab to the list of models being produced.
