Dapol have announced a new production batch of Class 21 and Class 29 Diesels in 00 Gauge.

The BR Class 29 is a type of Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotive designed for both freight and passenger use. Although outwardly similar to the Class 22, they actually share no mechanical parts and in fact were a modified Class 21 with a replacement Paxman engine with improvements to power output. These modifications were carried out between 1963 and 1965 mainly at the Polmadie Traction & Rolling Stock Depot in Glasgow. After the rebuild, the locomotives returned to Scottish duties until their withdrawal in 1971. No Class 29 locomotives survive preservation. Dapol have managed to provide for the Class 21 also in the tooling and this will be made concurrently with the Class 29.

The Dapol 00 Gauge Class 21 and Class 29 feature Detailed body with etched grilles and separately fitted handrails, cast wheels, metal sprung buffers, 5 pole Super creep motor with twin brass fly wheels, all wheel drive and pick up, independent directional and cab lighting, DCC Ready with provision of an MTC 21 pin socket Two new livery Class 21 and three Class 29 versions are proposed in DCC, DCC fitted and sound variants:
