Manufacturer description

The 8 plank wagon was a development of the earlier 7 plank version and was primarily a coal wagon for the less dense forms such as coke,. The extra height given by the additional plank allowed the wagon to carry its full 12 ton capacity. The wagons were built from the late 1920’s to the end of the 1930’s and were used right up to the 1960’s. Their designs incorporated a side door on each side of the wagon and one end door to aid unloading if the wagon was to be tipped.

The Dapol model of the 8 plank wagon features:

Highly detailed body moulding
Complete with load
Profiled wheels
NEM pockets with self centring couplings
Accurately applied livery
Weathered finish

Dapol 8 Plank Wagon Banks 352 is an OO gauge model in a weathered finish, representing a coal wagon from the era of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). The model measures 82 mm in length, 33 mm in width and 37 mm in height, and carries the livery of the Banks railway. It is fitted with NEM pockets and a tension‑lock coupling, and can negotiate a minimum radius of 1.

The original 8‑plank wagons were introduced in the late 1920s as an evolution of the 7‑plank design, providing increased height to accommodate a full 12‑ton capacity for less dense loads such as coke. They featured side doors on both faces and an end door for unloading by tipping, and remained in service until the 1960s.

The Dapol model includes detailed body moulding, a load, profiled wheels, self‑centring NEM couplings and accurately applied Banks livery, all finished with a weathered appearance. Manufacturer part number: 4F‑080‑125.
