Request For LBR Info For Each Coach Type

[Chris Newman]

Hi Dapol Team, (Hope I'm posting this in the right Place!!) is it at all possible (if your records have the information) That each Coach Type (By designer)Gresley,Collett etc) Could have the information of when LBR Could be Fitted (By Catalogue Number/Year fist available) if not available from start of original production? (hope that makes sense to you?) Regds Chris Newman

Hi Chris, Thanks for your request I will confer with my colleagues and see what can be done - It may take a while due to current exhibition commitments (Warly in a week) etc. but this will be a useful exercise.

[Chris Newman]

Andy, Many thanks for considering this, as you say due to work commitments--definitely not a rush job!! I Believe this will benefit all collectors/modellers, even if eventually you retrofit/upgrade all earlier non LB capable coaches.

I would of thought if I'm correct that all the Gresley, Collets and Mk3's are LBR. I don't think any of B-Set Coaches or Autocoaches are LBR

[Joel Dapol]

Not all the Collets and Gresleys were LBR. Early variants (pre- around 2010) were not and were subsequently modified to take the light bars. You are correct though Auto-coaches and B-Sets are not LBR

Hi Joel
Thank you for the update I never released that. I just checked my stock and two of my collets are not LBR. oh shoot
