2019 Class 26 Announcement

[ScottyStitch]

There was an announcement from February 2019 advising of a new run of Class 26s:

https://www.dapol.co.uk/New-N-Gauge-...dels-Announced

028-001 is listed as BR Green Headcode. Can someone at Dapol confirm what this means? I'm assuming Headcode discs?

Also, is there any word as to when these might be available?

I can't be sure (hopefully Neil will pick up the thread and clarify) but I would expect this to mean a set of headcode discs are supplied with the model.

While some sheds seem to have managed to equip their 26s with discs through the blue era other sheds seem to have discarded them and the refurbished locos lost them at refurbishment. Dapol may have intended this annotation to distinguish between original green and later 'heritage' green livery versions, but the preserved D5310 carries discs, so should have them with the model...

Similarly does 2D-028-003 (BR blue) come with discs?

The class 26s appear on the latest retailer update / order sheet shown as planned for November release.

Thanks for the replies. "Discs", then being the operative and missing word.
