N Gauge 4-6-0 Manor 2nd EP Update

The Dapol design team have very recently received the second EP sample of the N Gauge GWR 4-6-0 Manor. The design team is in the process of reviewing this model and formulating their feedback to the factory.  

he seam lines apparent on the fist EP sample have been closed up and moved to more inconspicuous palaces on the model. Fine rivet detail has also been added.  

 This EP model continues to run very well on our test track at Dapol and negotiated R2 curves and medium point work without issue. More extensive testing is now underway.

We anticipate providing a further update on this model in the coming days, at which time we will share images of the artworks with you.
