Dapol’s late-2026 delivery outlook spans N, OO and O

Newly published retailer schedules cover Class 66s, Ivatt tanks and a broad selection of freight stock.

Gaugemaster has published three Dapol delivery round-ups dated 8 October 2026, looking ahead to November and December. There is a useful mix here for modellers planning both steam-era and modern freight workings.

In O gauge, the selection includes Class 66s in EWS, Freightliner, GBRf and DRS schemes, alongside Lionheart Ivatt 2-6-2Ts. The steam selection includes preserved 41241 in Keighley & Worth Valley crimson. Shunters’ trucks and six-wheel milk tanks also feature.

The OO schedule includes Network Rail JNA Falcons and IOA ballast boxes among November’s expected items, plus vans and milk tanks. The N gauge schedule includes gunpowder vans and commemorative seven-plank wagons for November, with ICA Silver Bullet variants listed for December.

For me, the interest is in building a coherent train rather than collecting every livery. Different running numbers can be especially useful when extending an existing rake.

These are retailer delivery forecasts, not confirmation that every item is newly announced or already available. They also revisit models covered previously, with timing being the reason for this update. Check the individual reference, finish and control specification, and allow for delivery dates to change.
