Dapol has revealed that the next couple of months' worth of releases feature a characterful mix of rolling stock and classic steam for OO gauge modellers, combining eye-catching promotional wagons with a detailed recreation of a Great Western branch-line favourite. The new ventilated vans appear in a variety of liveries, including Vincent and BSA Motorcycles, Browsers Bookshop, Book Law Publications and special World Book Day 2026 editions, each also offered in factory-weathered form for added realism.
Alongside the wagons, a range of GWR 517 Class 0-4-2 locomotives, covering multiple authentic liveries and running numbers, and are available in standard analogue, DCC-fitted, and factory-fitted sound versions. Together, the releases provide both historic operating interest and themed display appeal, giving modellers plenty of options for everything from heritage branch services to distinctive layout cameo scenes.
