Today we've received some exciting new OO Gauge project udpates from both Dapol and Rapido Trains UK - including an update on Dapol's forthcoming GWR Diag N Autocoaches as well as Rapido's highly anticipated 'Evolution' rolling stock.
DAPOL GWR AUTOCOACH DECO SAMPLES
First off, Dapol have today revealed decorated samples for their newly tooled range of GWR Diagram N Autocoaches in OO Gauge! Seven variations of the model are to be produced in a plethora of GWR and BR era liveries and we expect these to arrive during Q2 2025. All the models can be ordered DCC Ready, DCC Fitted or even DCC Sound Fitted!
Rapido Trains UK have just revealed some new engineering samples of their forthcoming 'Evolution' pre-grouping bogie coaches! These new samples depict the 'Full Brake' and 'All First' examples. Don't forget that the order book deadline is TODAY (Monday 20th January) so we highly recommend that you pre-order your models ASAP to avoid missing out.
Today is also the order book deadline for Rapido's newly tooled GWR 'Small Prairie' 2-6-2T steam locomotives in OO Gauge. After this date stocks will be limited and items will be liable to selling out on preorder, so we highly recommend you place your order now to avoid missing out.
