Jelly Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Dapol produced a range of BR standard brake van models in O gauge in various liveries. Each model had its own code. Can someone advise me as to which are suitable for the period 1952-1960.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium CloggyDog Posted February 14, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Based on the list on Tower Models http://www.tower-models.com/towermodels/ogauge/Dapol/dapolwagons/brakevans/index.htm 003 and 005 definitely suit 1952-1960 002 and 006 are technically the post-64 style, but could be backdated fairly easily with some small modelling effort.

brossard Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 When I ordered mine there was a cock up and I got the grey one instead of bauxite. I repainted it in bauxite, modified the undersides to represent through piped (which most were) and backdated to pre-Tops: Note the vacuum pipe and rodding.

Jelly Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 The photos shown on the Tower models site 003 and 005 have electrification symbols, does this put them into the early 1960's rather than 1950's. I note 002 does not have these ,so is this perhaps the most suitable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GE and Woodhead routes were both electrified in the early 1950s... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
