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:
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
