Although initially the performance of the locomotive was deemed at best mediocre, subtle internal refinements made towards the mid 1950s resulted in a successful and popular locomotive. In all nine examples of the Manor survived into preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eModel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany original GA drawings were used in the development of these accurate and authentic model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the many developments from the Dapol Mogul including Dapol's award winning slide in PCB in the boiler for tool free DCC fitting and sugar cube speaker enclosure (for sound models).
