Dapol 4F-080-129 8 Plank Wagon Llay Main 954 Grey Weathered.

These 1:76 scale model railway 8 plank wagons from Dapol feature highly detailed body moulding complete with load, profiled wheels, accurately applied livery and a weathered finish.

The 8 plank wagon was a development of the earlier 7 plank version and was primarily a coal wagon for the less dense forms such as coke. The extra height given by the additional plank allowed the wagon to carry its full 12 ton capacity. The wagons were built from the late 1920’s to the end of the 1930’s and were used right up to the 1960’s. Their designs incorporated a side door on each side of the wagon and one end door to aid unloading if the wagon was to be tipped.
