Barry and Penarth Model Railway Club

Dapol limited edition wagons

    As part of the 25th Anniversary celebrations the club commissioned a series of limited edition local private owner wagons from Dapol. These were made available to non-members and have sold well. Hence more wagons have been commissioned. All have now been sold. Occasionally one comes up on E-Bay.

    The four plank open wagons to match the earlier Llanharry covered lime wagons are no longer available. These use the new Dapol four plank moulding and the ironwork has been picked out in black.

    Please note: these wagons depict authentic liveries recorded in the official Gloucester wagon archives. However, due to the limitations of the moulds available to Dapol, the wagons are not correct. In particular, the underframe should be wooden, instead of steel. Also where appropriate, the ironwork on the body should be painted black.

    Barry Coal Company, Davies Brothers of Crumlin and Leadbeter of Newport and Cardiff coal wagons are now sold out, as are the Milk Marketing Board tank wagons in wartime grey livery - sorry.

We have exhausted our supply of the SR United Dairies milk tank, based on the new six wheel milk tanker. This uses the livery of a restored wagon, which entered service on the Bluebell Railway in 2005. This was a joint project with the Bluebell, which was reflected in the special numbered certificate with each wagon.
