Dapol O Gauge Shunters Truck

Dapol O Gauge Shunters Truck

Dapol's brand-new O Gauge GWR M3 & M4 Shunters Trucks are now available to pre-order from Footplate. Choose from a cracking line-up of GWR and BR liveries, with a range of running numbers, place names, and even unnumbered versions of both wagon types.

🛠️ Prototype background:
The M3 Shunters Trucks first appeared in 1912 as refinements to the earlier M2 design — featuring self-contained buffers and simplified handrails. Around 41 were built, with small variations across batches.

By 1920, the improved M4 design took over and production continued until 1938, with later examples sporting disc wheels and vacuum pipes. Both types survived into BR service, with a handful still shunting into the 1970s and 80s at places like Fowey and Cardiff.

⚙️ Model highlights:

  • Die-cast compensated chassis
  • Finely profiled disc or spoked wheels with brass bearings
  • Highly detailed injection-moulded body
  • Numerous separately fitted details
  • Sprung metal buffers and sprung instanter couplings
  • Fully modelled DC III brake gear
  • Optional vacuum pipe included

📦 Now open for pre-order at Footplate!
Secure yours today while stocks last — these little wagons are bound to be a popular sight on O gauge layouts across the land.
