Models
The Kitmaster company produced an unpowered polystyrene injection moulded model kit for 00 gauge. In late 1962, the Kitmaster brand was sold by its parent company (Rosebud Dolls) to Airfix, who did not release model kits of this locomotive. In time, the Airfix tools passed on to Dapol who rediscovered the moulding tools and have since produced the model kit.
Bachmann collaborated with the National Railway Museum in 2008 to produce a limited-edition model of the DP1, exclusively for the NRM Shop. Bachmann representatives used laser-scanning technology to create a highly-detailed and accurate model in OO-scale. The model was produced in so limited numbers, and was so successful, that stores of the model were quickly sold out and locomotives were subsequently sold online for elevated prices. The model was praised for its attention to fine detail (such as legible builders' plates) and smooth yet powerful running. An N-scale model was subsequently released in 2010 for the public under the Graham Farish name.
LH Loveless released an O gauge model in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
