Prototype information

Dapol Bogie Bolster Wagon E (BR 923358 Bauxite – TOPS BEV) is a 00 gauge (1:76) model of a British Railways late‑crest bogie bolster wagon. It is produced by Dapol and carries the manufacturer part number 4F-061-001.

The model has a minimum radius of 2, uses a tension‑lock ‘instanter’ coupling and is fitted with NEM‑type coupling pockets. Its chassis is die‑cast and finished in the BR bauxite livery, reproducing the prototype chassis design and underframe in fine detail.

Key features include pinpoint axles, highly detailed bogies, sprung buffers and profiled metal wheels. The bolsters are multi‑part, re‑positionable with correct relief, and the stanchions can be moved and are fitted with separate metal tie‑down loops. The NEM pocket is removable, and the overall construction combines die‑cast components with metal detailing for an accurate representation of the original wagon.
