Manufacturer description

Prior to the standardisation of wagon design by the RCH in 1923 there were many variants available, depending on builder and region. Indeed, the standardisation of wagons was not universally adopted and took many years to gain acceptance and in this time variations were common and worked side by side with the standard design.

One of the variations that were often seen was the 7 Plank internally braced design. This had a shorter wheelbase (9 foot) than the standard design, had no end doors and had a capacity of 10 tons.

Dapol 7 Plank Wagon – Gregory livery is a OO gauge model with a 9‑ft (274 mm) wheelbase. It measures 74 mm in length, 33 mm in width and 35 mm in height. The wagon is fitted with NEM/Tension‑lock couplings and can negotiate a minimum curve of radius 1. It carries the manufacturer part number 4F‑072‑009 and is described as representing the period of the ‘Big Four’ railway companies – LNER, LMS, GWR and SR.

The model depicts the 7‑Plank internally braced design that was common before the Railway Clearing House standardisation of 1923. This variant had a shorter wheelbase than the later standard wagons, lacked end doors and was rated for a 10‑ton capacity. Such wagons were built by a range of companies and co‑existed with standardised designs for many years.
