It is made by dapol however and not Hornby so whether you get more for your money will be an interesting debate. Dapols N gauge honeymoon is over judging by comments on the Yahoo N gauge group where the quality of construction and finish of a number of models has been severly criticised recently plus concerns over the quality of motors used (and the wide number of different "improved" motors).
Dapol Class 205s
Kernow Model Rail Centre has just announced that it is ready to start taking pre-orders for the 2-car Class 205 Thumpers - in BR (S) green, 2 models in BR (S) green with yellow end + black triangle, BR blue, NSE, & Connex liveries, at £149.99 each, delivered in spring next year.
Good news for Southern modellers. What do you think about the £150 price tag?
The BR green with yellow end + black triangle liveried version is likely to be most popular, hence the two versions of that - but that will make this version less collectible for the investors. I'll still go for that version because they were around for a long time. Or should I wait for the 3-car version? Decisions, decisions.
