Arriva took over the Cross Country franchise late in 2007 with a number of the former Virgin Voyager trains being transferred to Arriva. The livery to be applied has not yet appeared, however working with Arriva Trains Dapol expect to have the new livery available in N gauge during the 3rd quarter of 2008.

The extra coach allows longer Voyager train formations to be modeled when used with the ND087 4-car train as four car train.

A very nice model of the 1930's GWR streamlined railcar  number 21 in original GWR chocolate and cream livery.
Among the first successful diesel trains the GWR's fleet of railcars operated on branch and main line routes. The BR multiple-unit trains of the 1950's followed the same basic power and drive layout developed on these cars.
Antics Price includes mainland UK delivery of this model.

An excellent model of the GWR 1930s design streamlined diesel railcar painted in the Great Westerns' classic chocolate and cream livery with the 'Shirtbutton' crest..

These were the first successful mainline diesel traction units, with an angular body design allowing railway buffing gear to be accomodated. This allowed the railcars to haul a trailer or a couple of goods wagons, truly replacing the steam locomotive on many branchline services.

2-car BR Metropolitan-Cammell class 101 Diesel Multiple Unit in BR green livery.

New Product Announcement from Dapol! Pricing and delivery to be advised

Dapol have announced that they will be producing the class 153 single car diesel unit train in N gauge, with the production of CAD drawings already at an advanced stage.
A useful diesel unit train introduced in the early 1990s the 153 unit can run alone on lightly used branchlines, or be combined with many of the Sprinter generation units to boost train capacity quickly and easily on busy commuter routes. Certainly a welcome addition to the range for operators of small N gauge layouts!

This Dapol model features a low friction under window drive mechanism, as developed for the 156 Sprinter unit, incorporating the Dapol ‘super creep’ motor and a 40:1 gear ratio for superb smooth running at low speeds. A DCC 6 pin socket will be fitted along with directional lighting and see through windows.

This model will carry the Arriva Trains aqua blue livery. Arriva operate several franchises, including many scenic routes in Wales where the 153 provides passenger train services linking remote communities.

New Product Announcement from Dapol. Release information and pricing to be advised

To complement their new Mk.3 coaches Dapol have announced that they have commenced CAD design work on the class 43 HST power cars. No timescale has been advised and these did not appear in the initial 2009 catalogue, so 2010/11 production is expected.

Information so far indicates that several detail variations will be allowed for in the design of the tooling and many livery versions are planned including as-built 'InterCity 125', all versions of the InterCity 'red stripe' livery, Virgin Trains and Cross Country

These models will incorporate the Dapol Platinum chassis, with directional lighting and 6-pin DCC sockets for motor and lighting control. Provision for the installation of a sound system in the 'dummy' end power car is being considered at the design stage.
Dapol will be fitting these power cars with their close-coupling units, leaving little or no gap between the corridor connections when coupled with their new Mk.3 coaches.

Watch out for further announcements during 2009!
