Below are some of the wagons we expect to release over the next six months. The exact schedule may vary, depending on Dapol’s other commitments, and our own domestic activities. We do not offer images of forthcoming wagons, to ensure our products remain exclusive and interesting.
During October

Each £9.80
If you've read the September newsletter then I got the history completely wrong! The original was early 1970's to mid 1990's, and was based on the East Somerset Railway. And K.G. (Ken) and N.A (Nora) were the husband-and-wife local coal merchants who were supplying artist David Shepherd at the time.
Early November

Each £19.00
