New Railway Modellers Forums

Thanks for your insight. Since posting the original question, I have seen a good many comments on the Dapol Westerns on other forums, many of which are uncomplimentary, citing derailing and motor problems. Build quality also seems to be an issue with some examples. The cost of the troubled Class 22 ...

Is anybody able to give me a run-down on the DCC performance of the new Dapol Westerns? I had a bad experience of a Dapol Class 22 last year which was a very poor runner. I have a Heljan Western which runs as smooth as a nut, but the Dapol looks like a beautiful model.
Thanks
Tony
