OO Gauge Air Ministry Tank Wagons– Dapol

OO Gauge Air Ministry Tank WagonsPrototypeThe majority of these tank wagons were built between 1939 and 1944 as Class A wagons for aviation fuel, being 17ft-6inch long on a 10ft wheelbase fitted with RCH either side braking and split oil axle boxes. The tank was 7ft-2inch diameter containing 4275 gallons saddle mounted with two small platforms on the top of the tank. After the war and around 1947, surplus tank wagons were converted to Class B fitted with heating coils to help discharge of viscous fuel and bottom discharge. All Class A tanks had gone out of service by 1971 with the last B Class tank following in 1973. SpecificationFeatures of the 14T Tank Wagon Class A & Class B wagons to be produced Extremely detailed and accurate body shell and chassis Many separately added  fine details, including separate platforms and ladders where appropriateNEM coupling Finely profiled wheels (front and back) Full sprung chassis - a 1st for OO Gauge RTR models Superbly applied livery Three link chains supplied in accessory bag   Proposed LiveriesClass A Tanks4F-058-001     14T Tank Wagon Class A Esso Silver 29854F-058-002     14T Tank Wagon Class A Shell BP Silver A74984F-058-003     14T Tank Wagon Class A Regent (Red Letters) Silver 1014F-058-004     14T Tank Wagon Class A Shell Motor Spirit Silver 75224F-058-005     14T Tank Class A Lobitos (Blue/ Red shade) Stone 107Class B Tanks4F-059-001     14T Tank Wagon Class B Shell - BP Black 51724F-059-002     14T Tank Wagon Class B Esso Black 1869 4F-059-003     14T Tank Wagon Class B Shell - BP Black 51334F-059-004     14T Tank Wagon Class B Shell Esso Black 19144F-059-005     14T Tank Wagon Class B Berry Wiggins Black 101Recommended Retail PriceProject UpdateDecorated samples have been evaluated and feedback provided to the factory to make any necessary improvements.It is anticipated that models will be available in shops in Q2 2024, we will keep you updated on this project as and when information is available. Pre-Order at your preferred Dapol stockist today
