No,  me neither, but two weeks ago there was a weighty arrival at the yard in the form of the newly released Dapol 08 in O Gauge.

  
I’m getting the opportunity to have a closer look, first thoughts are this could be a game changer in the D&E O gauge market. This is a very affordable ready to run locomotive that covers the core eras of the D&E genre up to today, and no doubt into the future. Here’s hoping when I nail it back together, there isn’t a small pile of screws and nuts on the bench!
