Dapol has announced a new range of wagons ideal for celebrating birthdays and Father’s Day. These specially liveried wagons build on a December launch that introduced a service for personalising wagons in customers’ own liveries.
Customers can add up to ten characters—spelling their own choice—on wagons featuring friendly slogans such as Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday with a cake, Happy Father’s Day and No. 1 Dad.
The customised wagons are available in OO Gauge vent vans, as well as seven‑plank open wagons in N Gauge and O Gauge. The seven‑plank wagons are delivered without a load.
All models are produced at Dapol’s factory in Chirk, Wales. A customised order will be dispatched within five working days of receipt.
In recent months, Dapol has expanded its range of custom liveries, unveiling wagons for World Book Day and festive Christmas themes, including Christmas Pudding and Noël Christmas Ale liveries.
