Dapol Stroudley Coaches

Due Feb 2023
The first run of these Stroudley coaches from Dapol represent the oil lit varnished mahogany liveried coaches. Later batches will be produced with gas and electric lighting fittings and Westinghouse air train brakes.
Suburban sets will need 2 brake third coaches, as these are the only coaches with full buffers for coupling to a locomotive on their outer (van) ends. Additional coaches can be coupled between them to make up a suitable length of train using the bar couplings.
Mainline coaches have full buffers and couplings on each coach.

The London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, LB&SCR, constructed more than 1,500 of these 4 wheeled carriages between 1870 and 1890 for local and main line suburban services, often headed up by one of the Stroudley A1 class 'Terrier' 0-6-0 tank engines. The coaches were all a standard 26 feet length on a 15 feet wheelbase chassis with compartment sizes and fittings commensurate with the class of passengers to be accommodated. These were formed into close-coupled sets of between eight and eleven coaches with an appropriate mix of first, second and third class seating accommodation, in all cases with a brake third coach at the outer ends, as these were the only coaches equipped with standard buffers and couplings. Within the set the coaches were close coupled, originally with semi-permanent bar couplings, though later some of the main line services coaches were fitted with short side buffers to improve shock cushioning between coaches.

A number of changes were made to the coaches over their working lives.
Initially the only brakes available were the hand brakes in guards vans of the brake third coaches, but later all coaches on the LB&SCR were fitted with the Westinghouse automatic air brake, placing the brakes on every coach under the control of the engine driver. (ref. Regulation of Railways act 1889).
Lighting was originally by oil lamps, however many coaches were converted to brighter gas lighting, and from 1881 some sets were fitted with electric lighting, dynamos and batteries being fitted in the brake coaches.

Several 12-coach sets were still available for service at the grouping in 1923 and received new Southern Railway numbers, though the combined fleets of the amalgamated companies quickly rendered these elderly 4-wheel coaches redundant. However the Isle of Wight had a need for extra coaches for additional seasonal service and in 1924 two 4-coach sets were created from the surviving stock of Stroudley coaches. These sets were formed with two 3-compartment brake thirds, a 5-compartment third and a composite coach with 3 first and 1 third class compartments. Three further sets were transferred in 1925 formed from newer and longer Billinton design 4-wheel coaches. On the Isle of Wight the ex-Brighton 4-wheel coaches were mostly used during the peak holiday season and as additional bogie coaches became available all were withdrawn from service on the island after the summer of 1931.

As the major railway companies introduced bogie coaches second-hand 4-wheel coaches were purchased by many independent, light railway and large industrial companies, often it being cheaper to buy a serviceable ex-mainline coach than to repair an existing vehicle. Some coaches like these survived into the 1950s as workmens or miners coaches, with a few to be found in British Railways engineers yards as mess and riding vans, brake thirds being most commonly adopted by the engineering departments as these coaches already had a hand brake.
These are sure to be useful for many small layouts and are ideal for 'freelance' layouts.

Dapol are producing these coaches in 2 types, 'mainline' coaches with short buffers and 'suburban' coaches with drawbar couplings only. The brake third coaches of each type have standard length buffers for coupling to locomotives and other stock.

Suggested train formations (mainline or suburban)
2 coaches - Brake third - Brake third
3 coaches - Brake third - Composite - Brake third
4 coaches - Brake third - Third - Composite - Brake third
5 coaches - Brake third - Third - Composite - Second - Brake third (full set of 'mainline' stock) or
5 coaches - Brake third - Third - First - Second  - Brake third (suburban stock)
6 coaches - Brake third - Third - Composite - First - Second - Brake third (full set of 'suburban' stock)

Individual coaches from the production can be combined to form longer fixed-formation trains, however modellers may find forming 2 sets from the lists of 3 to 6 formations using the extra brake third coaches will provide more interesting operating opportunities by allowing the dividing and combining of trains.
