Dapol BR Box Vans

1950s BR standard 10ft wb vans. British Railways retained the 10 feet wheelbase RCH 17ft 6in chassis for their new standard wagon designs in the 1950s. Following LMS and LNER practice the covered box vans had pressed corrugated steel ends and the design allowed for planked or plywood sides. The same basic body was used for a number of specialist vans, insulated vans with no end vents and meat vans with extra ventilators.
VanWide pallet vans in original vacuum brake and later VEA air brake versions due to land mid- December, after customs etc. probably arriving in store early January.

A wide range of kits for other British Railways wagons are available from the Peco, Slaters and Parkside kit ranges.

The Dapol O gauge British Railways meat van makes an excellent alternative to the standard ventilated box vans when making up a train. The extra end and side vents on the vans make them noticeably different, but empty meat vans were regularly used for other loads. In addition these vans were originally painted in passenger crimson livery, though most slowly turned brown, even if not actually repainted into goods bauxite.
The Dapol model features a detailed moulded plastic body on a compensated diecast chassis with plastic running gear and brake detail. Metal wheels and axles are fitted along with sprung buffers and BR 'instanter' 3 link couplings.

Dapol 7F-065-001 LMS 505010 12ton Horizontally Planked Box Van LMS Grey RTR O Gauge
The LMS introduced a new style of body for their standard 12ton box vans in 1935 with pressed steel ends and horizontal planking. 7,500 were built to Diagram D1897 in the later 1930s, Lots 823, 824 & 825 being vacuum fitted whilst Lot 826, 838, 839 and 840 were unfitted. Many further examples of these vans were built, including batches constructed after nationalisation, bringing the total to around 21,000!LMS-built vacuum fitted vans usually had 'J hanger' suspension with rubber secondary spring pads but non-vacuum vans often had the standard RCH springing. Many of these vans were later equipped with vacuum brakes by British Railways in the 1950s, these conversions normally having low-level 'coach type' train brake hoses.

Lynes produced the tri-arc roof outline for the SECRs new passenger luggage vans and ventilated box vans, both types being adopted as standard designs by the Southern Railway.Built from WW1 until circa 1950 many of these vans ran into the 1970s, with many being equipped with vacuum trains brakes by BR. The distinctive roof outline is immediately noticeable in a train and this is a great addition to the Dapol RTR range.
