Dapol have announced three new 0 Gauge wagons SR 12T van, GWR MOGO van and GWR Toad Brake Vans.

SR 12T and GWR MOGO Covered Vans

This is the standard Southern Railway goods van with a 10 foot wheelbase and distinctive elliptical roof. About 1000 fitted vans were built 1936-38 with even planked sides, the SR later built uneven planked versions as well as Ply sided vans later in their construction history. Dapol will be making the even planked version of these vans.

The MOGO had a 12-ton capacity and is fitted with end doors and wheel bars to allow a motor car to be loaded and transported in a goods train, hence its telegraph code 'MOGO'. The early MOGO vans had planked bodies but were later constructed with ply body sides.
The Dapol O Gauge GW ‘MOGO’ & SR 12T Vans will feature the following:
• Die-cast compensated chassis
• Finely profiled wheels and axles with brass bearing pockets
• Sprung metal buffers
• Vans are Vacuum Fitted
Two of each wagon version have been initially announced:
7F-068-001 Great Western ‘MOGO’ Grey 126342
7F-068-002 Great Western ‘MOGO’ Grey 126336
7F-069-001 Southern Railway 12T Van Grey[sic] 48977

Diagram AA 20 followed which was externally identical to the AA19 vans with a total of 354 being built between 1934 and 1943.
