GWR 2-6-0 'Mogul'
Dapofs model has reportedly made use of many original general arrangement drawings in the development of its model in a bid to make "accurate and authentic models." Its specification promises a die-cast chassis with a coreless motor driving the rear wheels. The centre driving wheels and front pony truck is sprung, while the latter operates on a cam, allowing the model to negotiate R2 curves. Suggested prices are DCC ready: £170.00, DCC fitted: £205.00 and DCC sound-fitted: £280.00. To portray the locomotives over their lifetime, the following details have been drawn:
• Die-cast boiler, footplate and chassis, with split frames for live bearing pick-up • Smokebox with/without cylinder steam pipes • Churchward Taper or Collett Straight Shank buffers • Tall vacuum pipe for early version • Lower vacuum pipe for later period • Tall or short safety valve cover • Smoke box top-mounted lamp bracket, smoke box door-mounted lamp bracket for BR period and number plate for BR period • Highly-detailed cab interior
