This is an interesting development. We appear to have a Gloucester wagon but what are the basic dimensions ( particularly wheelbase, length over headstocks and internal body height) please?

Hello Rob. I've a couple of designs of Dapol model, the old "Black Park" one, and the ex-Lionheart opens. The ex-Lionheart ones are visibly superior. Are you able to provide some details about the origin of the G0G model? Cheers.

Not that I can find. Please can you post a direct link to the wagon rather than the GOG home page. Thanks.

I guess there's little point in asking when they will be available with S7 wheels?

Hi Dave,

They won't be available to buy until tomorrow 5th November so I would expect there to be something on the front page then.

Hi Paul,

Sorry, I don't have any more details than what I was asked to post at present.

Sorry Rod, I don't know anymore at present.

Thanks for this Rob. I "subscribed" to this model and have been checking the GOG site every day . . . now I can be more patient.

Is there a photo to substantiate that oddly spelled shortening of Peterborough? Thomas Moy's own advertisement for their Peterborough-built wagons (shown in "British Carriage & Wagon Builders & Repairers 1830-2018" by Chris Sambrook) shows that they used 'PETERBORO' on their wagons.

I am reliably informed they use the Lionheart wagon design (further evidenced by the reduced gap between brake shoe and tyre).

Hi Dave,

Sorry, the wording of the ad was provided to me, all I did was copy and post.

It can't be much fun being a messenger for the GOG

Not today at least

There is a similar announcement on the GOG Forum now. Apparently it was delayed because Jackie Kneeshaw was tied up today so didn't get a chance to post it until about an hour or so ago. That said, when I looked, aside from the explanation for the delay in posting it didn't offer any further information than I have.

I have asked the question of the person I believe to have been the project co-ordinator - will advise if I hear back.

I am reliably informed they use the Lionheart wagon design (further evidenced by the reduced gap between brake shoe and tyre).

Dapol make at least 5 versions of 7 plank wagons. Code 7F-071 are the original Dapol 7 plank wagons which are a strange mix of features and dimensions - avoid if you want a scale model. The Lionheart originated wagons are LHT-F-071, 072 etc, these are scale models of RCH 1923 standard wagons. The more recently introduced Dapol 7 plank wagons with ‘Gloucester’ on the axleboxes are based on earlier RCH wagons - the dimensions would confirm which standard. These wagons are coded 7F-072-### for the side door only version and 7F-073-### for the end door version. The wagon in the GOG photo is a Dapol 7F-072- so is probably reasonably ok. Someone else will have to tell us if the CC should be yellow and whether MOY’s pre 1923 wagons should have a London plank.

Dapol make at least 5 versions of 7 plank wagons. ..

That is a useful review, thanks. I was only addressing the question of whether they were the original Dapol design or the Lionheart variant.

I've received a message,

The Moy wagons will be available from Monday to order only from the Guild online shop or at shows attended by the Guild shop. Please only order via the online shop. This has been done to keep administration costs low. The wagons for those that expressed an interest before production will be held back from general sale for a short period only.

Given that Guild members are, well, guild members, I'm slightly puzzled as to why this post has much use on WT, from most of the readership's point of view it is surely irrelevant?

Just a thought, don't mind me, etc...

Simon,

it might be mildly amusing to know how much debate there has been on the Guild website.

Contrary to expectations, there has been precisely none on RMW.

nowt s’queer as folk.
