Prototype Era
Era 5 (1956 to 1966) British Railways Late Crest
Our model is based on the six coaches numbered 36 to 41 constructed during 1907 under Lot 1126 to Diagram ‘N ’. All were built new as driving trailers and not later conversions from old steam rail motors. They were used on branch lines from Cornwall to Wales and retained their gas lighting until withdrawn, the first in 1956, the last in November 1957. Number 38 is preserved on the Telford Steam Railway as pictured above.

Dapol Autocoach BR W38 Maroon – DCC Sound is a 4‑wheel British Railways autocoach model in the traditional BR maroon livery. The model is supplied with DCC sound fitted and includes working interior lighting. It carries the manufacturer part number 4P‑004‑007S and represents the late‑crest period of British Railways.
The coach features finely moulded bogie frames equipped with NEM profile wheels, a super‑detailed body with many separately added components, sprung metal buffers and a removable roof to allow easy placement of crew and passengers. The livery is expertly applied and the interior lights operate via DCC, with an optional DCC sound function.
The prototype is based on the six coaches numbered 36 to 41 that were constructed in 1907 under Lot 1126 to Diagram ‘N’. These were built as driving trailers, not as conversions from earlier steam rail‑motors, and served on branch lines from Cornwall to Wales. They retained gas lighting until withdrawal, the first being withdrawn on 1 January 1956 and the last on 7 November 1957. Coach number 38 is preserved on the Telford Steam Railway.
