Model details

Dapol 20‑ton Steel Mineral Wagon, Cambrian Wagon Works livery, model number 4F‑038‑109, is a weathered OO‑scale representation of a British mineral wagon. It is equipped with NEM / tension‑lock couplings, a minimum curve radius of 1, and carries a coal or coking‑coal load. The model is supplied in a weathered finish and bears the Cambrian Wagon Works livery.

The full‑size wagons were of riveted steel construction and were introduced across the United Kingdom in the 1920s. They replaced earlier wooden 10‑ton and 12‑ton open‑top wagons, offering a more efficient and cost‑effective means of transporting coal and other minerals. The wagons featured two side doors and an end door and remained in regular service until their withdrawal in the 1970s, representing the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).

The model is highly detailed, with profiled wheels, printed livery, and moulded body and chassis. It measures 97 mm in length over buffers, 33 mm in width and 36 mm in height, and includes NEM pockets with self‑centring couplings.
