This new design adds to the range and specification of O gauge ready to run wagons, featuring a diecast chassis for added weight and compensation beams for smooth running.
British Manufacturing - Dapol plan to be producing these models from their factory unit in Chirk.
The Railways Clearing House (RCH) issued specifications for railway wagons agreed with the major wagon builders and railway companies to provide commonality of parts and agreed acceptance for interchange. Wagons built to the basic RCH 1887 specification wagons are noticeably shorter than later 1923 RCH produced by Dapol. These wagons were built through the period of colourfully private owner liveries and could still be found in service in the late 1930s.
The model features the usual 9 foot wheelbase and grease lubricated axleboxes. The Gloucester company incorporated the Gloucester name into the axlebox cover and brake block castings, features which will be reproduced on the model.
