Dapol have announced further A1/A1X Terrier 0-6-0 tanks in N Gauge.

The A1 Terrier was built at the Brighton Works under the design of William Stroudley in 1872, and between 1874 and 1880 were primarily employed on London suburban services operated by the LB&SCR. As the demands placed on the commuter network increased, the A1 Terrier were replaced by heavier more powerful tank engines and the Terrier were sold to other private operators to work on branch line and shunting operations. Sixteen of the class were modified between 1911 and 1913 and again in 1919 with a new boiler and extended smokebox plus some other improvements and were classified A1X. The Class survived well into nationalisation with the final Terrier being decommissioned in 1963. In all 10 Terriers survived into preservation.

Four new A1/A1X models that feature a did cast chassis with all wheel pick up, NEM pockets and a details body with many separatly applied parts have been added to the range, due Q1 2023, as follows:
2S-012-017 Terrier A1X 32662 BR Black Late Crest
2S-012-018 Terrier A1X B653 Southern Lined Green
2S-012-019 Terrier A1 55 LBSC Stroud Improved Green Stepney
