Class 59 Update

We are delighted to announce the arrival of the Class 59 Production samples. The design team have reviewed them and approved them for shipping. they are currently sitting waiting to be photographed and we will share images with you at at the soonest opportunity.

Due to a weak sales environment and disappointing pre-sales Kernow Model Centre has decided not to have 4D-005-KM1 as exclusive model and Dapol will now offer this model as a general release to accompany the other models which are due into the country at the end of December / Early January. The General release product code is now:

4D-005-010 Aggregate Industries Class 59 59002.

4D-005-010 Aggregate Industries Class 59 59002 now on general release

Project Update

The production samples have all been evaluated and passed by the design team. They have just boarded a ship bound for the UK and we expect them to make land fall before Christmas but they are unlikely to arrive before the Christmas post cut off point so are likely to be available in shops in the New Year.
