New British steamer...The "Terriers" are coming

These look interesting. Any word on dealers that will ship to the US?

What a beautiful locomotive!

Dear Matt and List,

     Check out Tower Models website, very well done and I have dealt with them for years. John

Let me second Tower Models, great products and great to deal with.

All the best,

Beautiful engine, and the price is very good.  

"Built between 1872 & 1880, and in use until 1964".....
Or to put it another way, NASA was launching the Gemini Space program whilst here in the UK the Railways were still doing things the 19th Century way...

Apparently these Terrier models have quite a lot of minor inaccuracies - or not so minor if you're obsessive about such things but for the price - especially compared to usual British O scale prices - most who want one will probably be happy.
As the CAD drawing of the Class 08 diesel shunter (switcher) stands the roof curve profile is wrong; hopefully it will be corrected before production of the model, but Dapol unfortunately does not have a good record of accuracy in O scale. A shame as much of their N & OO stuff is superb.

Just a bit of a differential there.... 

 

I suspect they will sell a lot of the DCC ready version; maybe even 1 for me!

I have some Dapol equipment in N scale. As mentioned above by SundayShunter, they are well executed models. I'm particularly impressed by the Class 86 electric and Class 67 diesel which are truly superb. I certainly hope the same standard of quality will carry over to the O scale Terrier.

 

Another suggestion to stateside hobbyists wishing to purchase Dapol products would be Hattons in Liverpool. I have been an on-line customer of Hattons for several years now and the process of ordering and receiving models is as easy as purchasing something from any US based dealer. There will be the occasional backup at customs but it never seems to cause more than a delay of a few days.

+1 for Hattons And Dapol in N. I've had very smooth transactions with Hattons and really like my Dapol N locos and rolling stock.

 

i'm sorely tempted by the Terrier, which is one of my favorites. All I need is to add yet another scale!

I concur that Hattons of Liverpool & Tower of Blackpool are your best options for shipping to the USA, they know what they're doing.
... and don't mention the 20% UK "Value Added Tax" we suffer from here!!! We get clobbered for it importing stuff from your side of The Pond!! US O Scale prices are much cheaper than UK models, but sometimes with VAT & Shipping costs the price of, say, an Atlas freight car can be doubled.
