I know which my money would be on, having seen some pretty unimpressive performances from some of the recent Dapol N-scale products.
I was recently loaned a class 73 by someone who was trying to convince me to stock Dapol products again, but I wasn't at all impressed.
One of my customers suggested that the slide bars had a habit of falling off one of their new kettles too.
