Manufacturer description

The 7 plank wagon was the standard coal wagon up to the 1930’s when steel mineral wagons were developed. In 1923 the RCH produced a standard plan for the 7 plank wagon, as up to this time there were many variations depending on the builder and region. However, even after the standard was applied, many non-standard wagons were still used.

Dapol Model two variations of 7 plank wagon, the internally braced variant with a 9 foot chassis with no end doors and a 10 ton capacity and the RCH standard with a 10 foot chassis and 12 ton capacity.

Both models feature:

It is designed to operate on curves with a minimum radius of 1.

The model represents a 7 Plank internally braced design wagon with a 9 foot wheelbase, which was a variation of the standard design prior to the introduction of the Railway Clearing House's standardisation of wagon design in 1923. This design was often seen in the early 20th century, particularly during the period represented by the Big Four railway companies - the LNER, LMS, GWR and SR.
