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's 7 Plank Wagon 9ft Wheelbase model is a highly detailed representation of a variation of wagon design that was common before the standardisation of wagon design by the Railway Clearing House in 1923. This particular model is based on a design that had a 9ft wheelbase, was internally braced, and had a capacity of 10 tons.

The model features a finely moulded body, profiled wheels, and an accurately applied livery of Charles Wilson, a well-known wagon manufacturer. The wagon is complete with a coal load and is available with a weathered finish. This model is suitable for use on OO gauge railways and has a minimum radius curve requirement of Radius 1.

The model is built to represent the Big Four period, during which the LNER, LMS, GWR, and SR operated, and is designed to work alongside standard design wagons. It is a DCC-fitted model, making it compatible with digital command control systems.
