News on the Dapol 08

'Over There' comments have already been made that the bonnet taper has been missed on the CAD drawings.... :rolleyes: personally I'd consider that too subtle to worry about too much anyway.

The taper is very striking when the loco is travelling towards you! If something so major is unimportant, I would suggest that some enterprising RTR manufacturer might just as well produce a generic shunter with a bit of everything thrown in and we can just put it on the track and it can be whatever we want to pretend it is!

Anyway, I'm exiting with flak jacket on in case I get the Adrian Swain treatment!

Any news on a further batch of your 08 Dave?
