Catfish Wagons

[Joel Dapol]

Hi Arthur, you can save a bit from the packaging but not a great deal. I will have another look at this over the next week or two.

Hi Joel, not sure if I've mentioned it before, but does packaging reflect greatly on cost? The existing wagon and coach boxes with a change in the black foam insert could contain multiple wagons. I personally would rather buy multiples if it was cheaper that way. I think one of your 'specials' order from a client was two milk wagons in one box and it was significantly cheaper to the public.

The problem is that I had a look at he costs of producing another run of Dogfish a few months ago and they were really expensive with the exchange at £1 = £1.23. It may be something we can look at if the pound gets nearer to US$1.40 but until then it would be too risky and expensive for us :-(

How about some catfish wagons, several liveries could be produced.

That is a cracking idea, i would be up for several catfish wagons! Please dapol, im sure some components would be transferable from the dogfish.

Plus they are very similar to to existing Dogfish model but with lower sides & no ballast chute below the solebar. I would be in for a few to add to my Dogfish & Grampuses. With the forthcoming DJM Mermaid & Shark I think that Departmentral Trains are going to be very popular.
