Interesting comment about people not being able to afford getting into the hobby. That person was me. A couple of years ago , having retired and looking for a new hobby, I had a look into building a layout. I was dumbfounded by the prices. Now I get my model fix from your videos. Cheers young man.
Thanks so much for sharing Dennis - I feel you - I could never afford the locos I wanted either... and it looks like we're heading in that direction again with the price of models! :( Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This is a nice wagon! Surprising they fit 99.9% of the detail in this wagon from O to OO!(the 0.1% is the slight loss of detail due smaller wagon) Great video once again Sam! -Will from WolfTrailsRailroads!
Excellent thing on every Dapol OO gauge wagons : you can use other couplings than the ones of the manufacturer ! Agreed with you on the overall evaluation. I have bought recently a bogie bolster wagon from them, ref. 4F-061-002, and it's also a nice wagon for a decent price. Bogie wagon with sprung buffers too ! GBP 25,46 at Hattons. They seems to get the point at Dapol to exist on the market : turbocharged quality with decent pricing. They've got a customer in France with me for their forthcoming 78xx Hall Class and Prairie, I hope they will made them like the little jewel they have done with the Mogul. Just one new for you : From Rails of Sheffield, Accurascale enters the OO scale steam engines domain with a 78xx Manor Class, announced for Q4 2021. Their Class 37 is already on my to-buy list !
Yeah that's true Oliver! Great to hear the bogie bolster wagons was good too - sounds like a great value purchase too that! I did see the Manor - that should be very interesting! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That looks like a real winner for Dapol Sam...they deserve all the success they get, producing such high quality products at a reasonable price...Great review as always....Bob
I still get this feeling that Britain did not get the memo that the world is using mostly bogie wagons for freight, I mean those type of rolling-stock were rare, even after WW2 (in G.B.), and only started to appear much later in larger quantities! BTW this wagon still counts "small" in the world of 4 axle wagons!
We did get the memo for tank wagons and enclosed wagons for perishable freight - all sorted by the early 70's - but yes, everything else was (and is!) VERY old fashioned.
haha yeah - come on though, the old fashioned wagons have so much character! I'm glad I didn't have to work/manage them in real life, but they make great models! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@nyvguy Yes i know that; (I'm a railway-engineer and we have a few ex British stuff here too; and Private railway co.-s like to buy old BR stuff cuz its cheap) it is smaller than the EU standard, (mixed trains look weird), but not a good reason; given how some wagons (like those chubby tankers, or the warwell wagon) have similar large dimensions like a regular rolling-stock; not to mention the coaches! And yes I know many factories (that has railway connection) had tight curves, but those are more like exceptions than the standards, but still for example: coal wagons were - for a long time - small 7 plank wagons...

Wow, an almost perfect score, never seen that before. Really is a good wagon, personally I don’t think the model should have been marked down for not having opening doors because most wagons don’t have them anyway.
haha I know - this really did deserve it though! Yes that's fair to say, but I'm saving the 5 star score for those that do... and some do! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I think the car really deserved that score! Also would you mind checking out a PKP EU06 locomotive from PIKO? I think it is a nice one, and the class has some British backgrounds. Anyways, great review and I hope to see more!
Hi Sam. Another brilliant review! I had already bought a rake of these before seeing your assessment. I’d say you are bang on! A wonderful example of how to supply a top quality model at a fair price. Chris Moss
A lovely model. Mine's coupled between my hornby clam/rudd and my hornby seacow/sealion (can't remember which way round they are). It runs very well, although the standard tension locks are a bit long for a realistic coupling, and it likes to derail sometimes when being shunted backwards. I'll probably replace the couplings on that rake with hunt couplings in the future. A good choice of haulage, that heljan 58, but where's the brake van? And I don't think i've seen examples of those planked wagons ahead of the standard 21T mineral wagons at the head of the train. If you want rid of that dapol 73, I'd happily have a go at fixing it myself...
Great review mukka. I like Turbots, I made a couple of kit versions some years ago... still going strong. Will have to get one or two of them. Your test train was a bit of a worry though... you had unfitted wagons on the rear of the rake and as such you should have had a brake van on the rear... just in case of a break away. That class 73 needs dumping at the back of the depot in a dead end siding! Who was the builder of the class 73 by the way? I have a couple of the Lima versions and they run fine! Regards from Oz. Gaz
That is one mighty impressive wagon. Well done Dapol and great review Sam, though at first I thought why are you reviewing another one of those then I saw the OO bit.👍🏻
Once again I will take your great review to hattons and order myself a couple of these. Really love your reviews. So helpful. This is my era too. Cheers Sam
Hi Sam, I just got 4 of these, well 3 differently-numbered brown ones and 1 the same as this one, from Rails of Sheffield for £90 including postage. That’s £22.50 each! I didn’t know I wanted one, let alone 4. That’s the problem with watching your channel. I just see you saying how brilliant things are and then discover my bank balance has been reduced severely again! Grrr... Thank you Sam! :-) Regards, Jim
Good one, Sam! I thought the O gauge was fantastic, so happy to see you review this, I immediately after you signed off clicked your affiliate link and ordered one from Hattons!
If only American manufacturers could take a hint from the likes of Dapol and Oxford Rail. Most of the steam era freight cars over in the US are 10+ year old toolings and definitely show their age. Loved the video though. Thanks, Lynne.
Weird seeing a Class 56 pulling a rake of Blood and Custard Mark 1 coaches. Wow, if it had opening doors, it would have gotten a perfect score! Would that have been the first ever 10 all rounder?
haha yeah - I need some more modern rolling stock really! Yeah it would have actually - I hate to give full marks though, it suggests nothing could be improved! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thank you Sam for this informative video. I would love to buy one but do to the difference in the dollar to the pound and shipping and handling it would be to expensive. I wish I could move to the UK your deals on oo scale are so much better than here.
It's a pleasure Louis - check Hatton's, if you're buying a bunch of stuff in one go, the postage is supposed to be quite reasonable! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Looks like a very nice wagon. Surprising that this is the same company that also made those derailing egg vans. Got any plans to review the upcoming oxford rail Pilchard wagons? I pre-ordered two.
Hi Sam I got some new glasses and I just put them on today it feels like like two magnifying glasses have been superglued to my face but I'll have to get used to them and when I take them off everything around me is all blurry and further away but when I put them on everything is clear and a lot closer than they actually are
Also cool wagon And as usual I have requests lol GWR 94xx with the new wagon The diseased caterpillar with bullman And flying Scotsman (Hornby) with a goods train
Wish I had a lot of rolling stock like you, especially when my Athearn Big Boy gets delivered and will be stuck pulling 6 tiny box vans and 3 southern coaches
Looks nice Sam. Have you considered trying to get some of the Hornby Seacow/Sealions and a Shark Brake Van? In addition, Bachmann also do a Sealion, Dapol also do Grampus wagons, while Heljan have Dogfish (Kernow have a set of 4 in weathered Dutch livery). You could have a great engineers train! Or if you want more locos, and the Class 73 continues to refuse to play ball, Bachmann do a Class 37 and a Class 47 with the yellow stripe Dutch livery.........
Thanks a lot mate - yeah they do sound good, I'd like to try those at some point! Oh nice, I might have to look at those, particularly the class 47! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I recently learned that material costs for a railway model is not even 5% of the retail price. The design, production and distribution are far bigger cost factors.
OH I see now - I was going to say!!! It's the 'OO' Version & not the O Gauge - Fair enough - & yes this time I do see the wagon inside the box & not thought it was 'Just an empty box' like last time!!! 😉 WOW I've just noticed - this is the 1st time when I've watched 1 of your vids when it has only 13 views - normally by the time I watch 1 of your vids it has 1000's of views - but I'm sure it will reach over 1000 views in time!!! 😉🙂🚂🚂🚂
Hello Sam. Nice gaugemaster. I love the slippers .What a cracking looking wagon. I enjoyed this video immensely. Looks like you have got a good one there Sam. Lovely livery, first class. Thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐖🚄🚅
Yeah, the cost of model trains is a concern. As you say, it puts up a rather high barrier to entry for those who may yet only be casually interested, and these days there are so many other forms of recreation that might attract their attention instead. In my 40s I'm well below the median age in my model railroad club, yet sometimes have the odd distinction of being the most senior member present while also being the youngest one in the room. I got into the hobby (and the organization) early, during some of the last days of reasonably priced model train equipment, but few my age or younger followed.
Thanks Matthew, yeah it certainly does, and that's a real problem for the future... thank goodness Dapol and friends are still offering decent value! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, yes a wonderful model👍 I have 4 in EWS livery & they are an impressive model for the price. For a realistic look they do need weathering, I’m sure they never looked so good in their working lives! We can’t ask anymore from a manufacturer, good value/performance/detail Well done Dapol! Cheers John B😷
you should pick up an EM2 in the NS livery, although I think they are over priced the ones left in stock as Hattons had to discount the ones they had to sell them
Also I added the door colours to my short sncf ter corail type ab lima coach, as some ter French regional services do have first class, but usually it's declassified or they only use 2nd class coaches on some loco hauled ter services
Oh man, Sam. You are a sight for sore eye. My family woke up to a fire alert this morning at 3:00 o’clock in the morning. So I’ve been awake for since then. So, yeah, you surely cooled me down.
Great Video Sam And That's An Awesome Wagon And Also I've Built An NYPD 2015 Crown Victoria Police Car Out Of LEGOS And I Also Made A LEGO USA Crown Victoria Police Car And Also Trains Are Fun
Wow! Great model & value for money. So much metal under carriage & spring buffers! stunner. Hornby take note & keep up! 😅 Credits to Dapol for preserving the quality & no of people in the hobby...
For things like the 73, you need a bin/box/shelf of shame.... But the wagon was fantastic, you also need a shelf/display cabinet of fame for the best ones
Great vids, Sam. I wanted to ask whether Bachmann locos work on Hornby DCC layout controlled by the SELECT controller. I've seen you run Bachmann on your hornby analogue layout but with digital dcc select im not sure...
Thanks a lot mate! Yes they should do now (provided it's a Select with the latest firmware) the Bachmann locos would need a decoder fitted of course! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow this is a impressive model maybe I will get one i think also do you got any British rolling stock that you would recommend like vans or flat beds or like trucks?
Thanks a lot mate - I can highly recommend it! Check out the Oxford or Hatton's warwell wagons! Oxford are also doing some Pilchard wagons, which look good too! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Well I remember a bizarre part where a bogie hopper wagon like the Hoki 800 or the ICI was sitting on a road. It was hit by some car and the wagon broke apart like a model railway wagon would. That was pretty weird. That's all I could recall, not the sad part obviously.
Got two more coaches along with the regio jet ones I have: a db red/white 1st class for various ic/ec intercity services plus I repainted sncf a9u into full regio jet colours the yellow could be better but it looks similar enough, also Hattons have two bmz in regio jet still and one in pkp ic plus they have three austrian obb coaches on their site now
Hi Sam have you ever thought of reviewing a few modern locos and units like Classes. 86. 87. 90 electric locos Or any units like the class 150. 158 170. Maybe even mixing like a class 158 coupled to a 150 say
wow when i first saw this i was thinking it was a re uploaded hahah but no a very good wagon and i keep thinking about the mogul do i save for one. I don't know ill have to think about it
Is say Sam, here’s a question. We all love model trains, but have you ever reviewed any model trams? I know there are some about. Up to you of course, I just wondered if you’d ever done any.
You could make Little Rock or coal models and haul them around, maybe even do a long haul with a lot of wagons. Sorry if you already have, I’m a bit new to this channel
hello sam i really love this piece of rolling stock because of the price and the quality of it since it have a metal underframe and not to mention the detail of it its just to good and i if i can find one that is for a good price id get one and love the video from david
It seems like the 73's issues are because of the pickups. I bet you, if you have some spare brass, you could disconnect the current pickups and fashion some wiper pickups. Or you could fit a DCC decoder with a keep alive on it. As for the wagons, I think that you should get some more of them. The price is good, and you could use some more diesel era rolling stock.
Yes partly, it also has issues with the bogies not having any vertical movement, and issues in the transmission that cause the motor to be under great strain - but sure, fixing the pickups would be one of many issues solved! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

I still get this feeling that Britain did not get the memo that the world is using mostly bogie wagons for freight, I mean those type of rolling-stock were rare, even after WW2 (in G.B.), and only started to appear much later in larger quantities!

It's the 'OO' Version & not the O Gauge - Fair enough - & yes this time I do see the wagon inside the box & not thought it was 'Just an empty box' like last time!!! 😉 WOW I've just noticed - this is the 1st time when I've watched 1 of your vids when it has only 13 views - normally by the time I watch 1 of your vids it has 1000's of views - but I'm sure it will reach over 1000 views in time!!! 😉🙂🚂🚂🚂
Thanks Jimmy, yeah that's it - they do look the same! Wow you were very early!! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Yeah I was surprised myself!!! 🤔🚂🚂🚂
Woah, that would be perfect for carrying small engines like Thomas! What a cool wagon!
haha it would actually - cool idea!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hello Sam. Nice gaugemaster. I love the slippers .What a cracking looking wagon. I enjoyed this video immensely. Looks like you have got a good one there Sam. Lovely livery, first class. Thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐖🚄🚅
Thanks a lot Mark - really glad you liked the video, appreciate it!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yeah, the cost of model trains is a concern. As you say, it puts up a rather high barrier to entry for those who may yet only be casually interested, and these days there are so many other forms of recreation that might attract their attention instead. In my 40s I'm well below the median age in my model railroad club, yet sometimes have the odd distinction of being the most senior member present while also being the youngest one in the room. I got into the hobby (and the organization) early, during some of the last days of reasonably priced model train equipment, but few my age or younger followed.
Thanks Matthew, yeah it certainly does, and that's a real problem for the future... thank goodness Dapol and friends are still offering decent value!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
When I saw the title I thought I was seeing double!! Great review though, Dapol are certainly going quite nicely at the moment as is everyone else!
haha me too Harry - they're doing a great job! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Looks a great quality wagon at a bargain price. Thanks Sam.
Thanks a lot mate, glad you liked it!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam’s will specifies that his coffin must have sprung buffers....😏
haha it must do, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, yes a wonderful model👍
I have 4 in EWS livery & they are an impressive model for the price.
For a realistic look they do need weathering, I’m sure they never looked so good in their working lives!
We can’t ask anymore from a manufacturer, good value/performance/detail
Well done Dapol!
Cheers John B😷
Thanks very much mate, great to hear you're happy with yours too! Sure, weathering could definitely make a big difference!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
you should pick up an EM2 in the NS livery, although I think they are over priced the ones left in stock as Hattons had to discount the ones they had to sell them
That sounds great mate, thanks for the suggestion! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains when I looked at the price of the NS one it was £260 so you may want to forget that.
Also I added the door colours to my short sncf ter corail type ab lima coach, as some ter French regional services do have first class, but usually it's declassified or they only use 2nd class coaches on some loco hauled ter services
Ahh very cool - you sound like you're great at these little projects!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Cool unboxing video sam Keep up the good work and videos
Thanks mate, I'll try!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
hi sam.dapol are producing decent rolling stock at reasonable pricing. hope they keep up this level of marketing.
Yeah they certainly are - I hope they do too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Oh man, Sam. You are a sight for sore eye. My family woke up to a fire alert this morning at 3:00 o’clock in the morning. So I’ve been awake for since then. So, yeah, you surely cooled me down.
Uh oh sorry to hear that - was everything okay?!?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Things are starting to look up. The fire seems to have stopped moving.
That and I've hardly slept for four days and we're in a five day lockdown. Or, to put it simply, my life is horrible because s#!t be whack yo.
That quality sure made a massive jump from the Egg vans...
haha very much so!! xD
Great Video Sam And That's An Awesome Wagon And Also I've Built An NYPD 2015 Crown Victoria Police Car Out Of LEGOS And I Also Made A LEGO USA Crown Victoria Police Car And Also Trains Are Fun
Cheers Jacob, that sounds awesome - you'll have to do a video on that!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You should get a secound one to test the close cuppling
Good idea Roger, I'd like to try that!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
hi sam .wow what a wagon i cant believe the price. superb .and i thought the 0 gauge was good. blinding. cheers tom
Thanks Tom, me neither - absolutely epic!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
when you ran the wagon in when you said you were nervous I think you were having flash backs to the egg vans
haha that's exactly what was happening! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hello Sam, That is a nice wagon I would run it with the dapol class 73
Thanks a lot Sam - yeah sure, it'd look great with that! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I like the yellow bearing caps
Me too! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Do you think youll ever build a new layout? Great video as always btw
Hopefully one day James! Glad you liked the video!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow! Great model & value for money.
So much metal under carriage & spring buffers! stunner. Hornby take note & keep up! 😅
Credits to Dapol for preserving the quality & no of people in the hobby...
Thanks so much Nix, really impressed with these - they did an amazing job!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Ah the little brother I will get one when I can it looks amazing
haha awesome!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
For things like the 73, you need a bin/box/shelf of shame....
But the wagon was fantastic, you also need a shelf/display cabinet of fame for the best ones
haha that'd be good actually - I'd like to see it kept in a bin! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains at the wnd of a lemon video there should be the ‘mic drop’ of shame into the box
Great vids, Sam. I wanted to ask whether Bachmann locos work on Hornby DCC layout controlled by the SELECT controller. I've seen you run Bachmann on your hornby analogue layout but with digital dcc select im not sure...
Thanks a lot mate! Yes they should do now (provided it's a Select with the latest firmware) the Bachmann locos would need a decoder fitted of course!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This wagon: exists
Bachmann: looks away awkwardly
haha totally!! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
And again I thought the box was empty dang that wagon is the master of illusion
haha I know - it's a strange one! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice flatbed wagon, you should fit something on there like a log or a tree! :P
Thanks a lot mate - that'd be awesome actually!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow this is a impressive model maybe I will get one i think also do you got any British rolling stock that you would recommend like vans or flat beds or like trucks?
Thanks a lot mate - I can highly recommend it! Check out the Oxford or Hatton's warwell wagons! Oxford are also doing some Pilchard wagons, which look good too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Well I remember a bizarre part where a bogie hopper wagon like the Hoki 800 or the ICI was sitting on a road. It was hit by some car and the wagon broke apart like a model railway wagon would. That was pretty weird. That's all I could recall, not the sad part obviously.
Wow!! When did this happen?!? :(
Got two more coaches along with the regio jet ones I have: a db red/white 1st class for various ic/ec intercity services plus I repainted sncf a9u into full regio jet colours the yellow could be better but it looks similar enough, also Hattons have two bmz in regio jet still and one in pkp ic plus they have three austrian obb coaches on their site now
Ahh sounds good mate - thanks for letting me know, I'll keep an eye out for those! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The music you used in the 2019 Christmas video was Christmas Village by Aaron Kenny.
That's right - did you think I didn't know that?? ;)
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Looks fantastic. I'll have to get a few of these!
Thanks Chris, I'd highly recommend it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam have you ever thought of reviewing a few modern locos and units like
Classes. 86. 87. 90 electric locos
Or any units like the class 150. 158 170.
Maybe even mixing like a class 158 coupled to a 150 say
I have thought about it - hopefully I'll do something like that soon! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
wow when i first saw this i was thinking it was a re uploaded hahah but no a very good wagon and i keep thinking about the mogul do i save for one. I don't know ill have to think about it
haha nope, it just literally looks like the same thing, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam, can you review the Dapol silver bullet wagons in 00 gauge when they get released, the photos look amazing!
That would be great - I'd love to try one! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What a wagon! Maybe Bullman deserves an upgrade from his lowly lowmac!
Could this be classed as a bullmanpullman since its such a fancy wagon? :P
I agree!! haha I think this is a bit too nice for Bullman! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Is say Sam, here’s a question. We all love model trains, but have you ever reviewed any model trams? I know there are some about. Up to you of course, I just wondered if you’d ever done any.
I once did a Brill tram, but that's all! I'd love to try more though! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great review, Hattons are on order only. Question the greg wagons you ran on the other loco what are they.,thanks.
Thanks for sharing - hopefully they'll get more in stock! Do you have a timestamp? Not sure about those!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You could make Little Rock or coal models and haul them around, maybe even do a long haul with a lot of wagons. Sorry if you already have, I’m a bit new to this channel
Yeah that'd definitely work - great idea!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
hello sam i really love this piece of rolling stock because of the price and the quality of it since it have a metal underframe and not to mention the detail of it its just to good and i if i can find one that is for a good price id get one and love the video from david
Thanks a lot David - yeah me too, super impressed by this one! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow, what a great wagon!
It really is!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You sound like you've just drunk a tanker full of Redbull!! LOL
haha! xD
Will be interesting to see how this compares with the upcoming ones from Oxford, also bogie maintenance wagons for a reasonable price
It will indeed - those look excellent, for a similarly good price too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Even detail on the little trucks that hold the wheels
Yeah! Amazing level of detail on this! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Blimey Sam that would look nice in a rake of them with a modern Desiel
Thx ben :)
Yeah it would actually Ben - I'd love a few more! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Love seeing decent models at a reasonable price. My solution is to buy kits, but that's a different realm altogether.
Thanks Phillip - yeah me too! Kits is definitely another option, but certainly not an easy one!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
It seems like the 73's issues are because of the pickups. I bet you, if you have some spare brass, you could disconnect the current pickups and fashion some wiper pickups. Or you could fit a DCC decoder with a keep alive on it.
As for the wagons, I think that you should get some more of them. The price is good, and you could use some more diesel era rolling stock.
Yes partly, it also has issues with the bogies not having any vertical movement, and issues in the transmission that cause the motor to be under great strain - but sure, fixing the pickups would be one of many issues solved!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Can you review an American diesel
Sure! I'd love to! :D
