RMweb Premium steam-driven boy Posted October 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Hi, Mentioned in passing, understandably, on two N Gauge forums after the Dapol Open Day, very interesting prospect. I'd guess there would also be an interest in Dapol 'shrink-raying' them down to OO and N - I would certainly be up for O and N... Regards, Gerry.

seeseerider Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 That would be great if true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I asked to Dapol about coaches last year I was told that they had no plans. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hello. Definitely announced, with prototype pictures and the comment "to give the Terriers something to pull". Someone asked if they had thought about doing them in OO. Richard Webster's answer was to the effect of "no, but since you've mentioned it...." which didn't actually commit them to doing more than thinking about it.

RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted October 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2018 Any indication on what different types they intend making? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy1165 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I hope they do a "saloon" as these could, in principle, turn up anywhere. Indeed, in the LBSC carriage books (excellent read and highly recommended) is a reference to a whole bunch of them running north from Marylebone one Cup Final day. Any road, if a saloon is produced, I'll be having one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtleypete Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'd like some of the six wheelers too but that's no doubt expecting too much. They'll be ideal for anyone modelling a light railway, perfect to run behind the new Minerva Manning Wardle tank. Peter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Does anyone have a time scale for these coaches? I have to build some this year as we will be going to a show next year as LBSCR/LSWR layout and it would save time. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium steam-driven boy Posted October 26, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi, First limited information direct from Dapol I've seen in the Collectors Club newsletter by post today: "UK tooling commissioned - Research/CAD CAM stage" but no suggested timing or specifics on types. Regards, Gerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtleypete Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) I would be surprised if they were ready before this time next year....possibly Telford if we're lucky, Peter Edited October 30, 2018 by kirtleypete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I would be surprised if they were ready before this time next year....possibly Telford if we're lucky, Peter That is my fear I will have to build some. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtleypete Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yes, you build some as soon as you can because that's a sure way to get the Dapol ones! Peter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Sounds like my luck just paid £191 for the LSWR terrier only to see that Hattons are now selling them fore £159. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtleypete Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hatton's have got some real bargains at the moment, I'm trying hard to resist. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted March 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2019 Some confirmation in Dapol's Neil Morrlle's column in the April BRM "The next UK production project is simmering away nicely on the R&D burner with CADs being drawn up to make the necessary tools to produce O gauge four-wheel Stroudley coaches that will compliment the multi award winning Dapol Terrier......"

south_tyne Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Nice to see Dapol progress with these. Some carriages were an obvious next step in developing their 0 gauge range. I'll be interested in seeing what kind of price they come in at. I would imagine they might be a similar price as the Terrier itself given the recent discounts that have been offered on the loco!!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2019 I overheard them telling a chap at Ally Pally that they were doing them this year but as we are already a quarter of the way in it’s going to be late this year at the earliest I’d guess. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the earliest I would imagine. After all, Dapol have quite a lot on the 0 gauge agenda for this year - the Sentinel, 14xx, another run of BR wagons, the DMU - so I don't know how high up the agenda these will be. I don't know much about the prototypes, but I expect there will be a brake and composite(?) amongst the items proposed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted March 31, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2019 The Stroudley coaches look to be tooled and made in Chirk, like the current Gauge 0 wagons which are excellent. Chirk has a faster turnaround than the China factory so later in 2019 may be possible. Dava 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 IIRC there were 5 types. D30 4 compartment first class D31 4 compartment composite 2 first class 2 second class D32 5 compartment third class D33 5 compartment second class (externally the same as D32) D34 3 compartment brake third This is from memory. Happy to be corrected by someone with better knowledge 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Are these the ones that are going to be produced by Dapol or the ones that are currently available as kits from Roxey Mouldings? There are alot more diagrams out there than these I hope that they aren't going to just duplicate whats already out there. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be corrected by someone with better knowledge Thanks, that's really useful. How long did they remain in 'main line' use? I expect they will be very popular with folk modelling light railways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWCR Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Disappearing fast by grouping, the last 4 wheelers were withdrawn around 1924 and the 6 wheelers 1928. A few lingered on in use on the Isle of Wight until 1931 and in the Lancing Bell Works train until 1930. Pete 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
