Manufacturer description
The 24 ton steel ore hopper wagon was originally drawn up and produced by Charles Roberts of Wakefield in the early 1930s and very similar vehicles were also produced by other manufacturers from around this time. Originally, they were supplied to private owners, rather than the main railway companies, and their principle use was for the carriage of iron ore to the various steelworks.
In later years, although their main use was still for ore traffic, they were also used for a variety of other loads including coal for which they carried a reduced tonnage. They were finally decommissioned in the early 1980s with several surviving into preservation.

24t Steel Ore Hopper Dorman Long Weathered
Dapol 24t Hopper Cadbury Weathered is an OO gauge model of a 24‑ton steel ore hopper wagon. The model is finished in a weathered livery and carries the Cadbury colour scheme. It is fitted with NEM couplings and is capable of negotiating a minimum curve of radius 1.
The model measures 82mm in length, 33mm in width and 40mm in height. It has a four‑wheel arrangement and bears the manufacturer part number 4F‑033‑101.
The original wagon design was drawn up by Charles Roberts of Wakefield in the early 1930s and was built by the company between 1949 and 1950. Although primarily supplied to private owners for the transport of iron ore to steelworks, the wagons were later used for other freight such as coal, albeit with a reduced tonnage. They remained in service until the early 1980s, with several examples preserved.
The model represents the period of the Big Four railway companies – LNER, LMS, GWR and SR – and is suitable for use in layouts depicting that era.
