Dapol's O Gauge Open Wagons | Unboxing & Review

[@alanthorne3921]

I must tell you a story.Your shelf like track reminds me of years ago somebody gave me an o gauge steam engine,can’t remember type or brand ,r/s and track.While my wife was away I constructed a shelf like track that started at my lounge chair ,went around the room ,drilled a tunnel through to the kitchen to the fridge with the idea that it would carry a can of beer back to me on a modified flat car.Amazingly it worked(slowly).However the missus was not impressed and wouldn’t play the game of loading the train. Shortly after I was divorced and I could never see why.🍺🚂

[@John73John]

I have to say, Sam, I'm loving O Gauge! I like the level of detail, like the opening doors and especially the realistic couplings -- not something you see on smaller scale models. You definitely need a better coupling tool, though. It's too bad you don't have much space for a bigger O layout, but I think if you just had another pair of points, so the loco could run around to the other end of the consist, that would open up a lot of shunting options.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much John - me too - it's got something about it hasn't it? Yes it's a shame - maybe one day! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@tonyrobinson362]

Just like the shunting poles we used on BR to couple coal wagons we had a pig tale hook on the end of a pole made out of hickory so it would be flexible.

[@kevinhale9400]

Sam, try taking a coffee or tea stirrer, such as you get in motorway services, drill a small hole in the end of it. Then, take a staple, place it in the hole and strengthen with glue if you need to. When you have that done, bend the staple into a hook shape and voila. One coupling hook.

[@SamsTrains]

Good idea Kevin - I'll try that!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@rydermike33]

Really nice rolling stock there Sam. I do like those opening side doors. What a super guage to work in, if you have the space. Many thanks.

[@peterward305]

Make yourself a coupling hook using a piece of wire, or a straightened paperclip, with a hook on the end then attach to an old biro or piece of dowel. This will save any frustration when coupling. I did this on my 4mm layout which used scale link couplings.

[@SamsTrains]

[@terencebennison6275]

Hi sam, as a kid in the late 1950s I was keeping my dad company in his signal box during his 2pm to 10pm shift. Late evening was the usual time for the coal trains to come through on their way to the local power station. I clearly remember on one occasion counting 67 coal wagons going past. ( dad said he counte80 wagons regularly) So if you are considering replicating a coal train of 67 wagons in o gauge well, the cost would certainly be eye wateringly expensive!

[@SamsTrains]

haha it certainly would be - and I think I'd need a bigger loft ;) Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@tonyrobinson362]

We use to bring sixty 16 tonners from Toton to Shirebrook in the 70s behind two cl 20s.

[@terencebennison6275]

@@tonyrobinson362 I'm not sure my dad was referring to 80 'empty' wagons being taken away from the power station, he also didn't mention whether it was a double headed train. I remeber listening ( it was pitch black outside ) to the wagons going by; the clinking sounds they made as they rode over the rail joints. It seemed to go on forever!

[@RizenWorld]

Hi Sam. Love the video. One little thing. Would you maybe consider putting a little fence up along the length of the track. I know from experience that if one wagon derails and goes off the side it could drag the rest down and pull the train onto the floor. As 0 gauge is rather pricey it would be a shame for your lovely engines to get damaged by the impact. I hope you're having a great day. Cheers

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Rick! haha yes that's very true - I'll think about doing that! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Hi Sam, enjoyed your review. I have seven of Dapol's O scale wagons in my collection, four obtained at their Open Day and all assembled by myself, with guidance of course. If you were not aware, they are manufactured at Chirk, not CPR.

[@juliemittel3931]

i have a video idea: build a train model kit. like one of those plastic ones ghat you can paint and glue together and that fun stuff. they can't be used on the railway, but if you get one that's in HO scale you could display it on the track, what do you think?

I do like the O gauge boxing better just mainly because it's it feels like more of a surprise when you open the boxes with the oo gauge you kind of already know what you getting can you when you open the box The irony of of my train set on the British side is I actually used them kind of couplings

As expensive as O gauge is, it does look amazing. Despite modelling OO, it is very tempting to get that Dapol 58xx 5811. The livery and scale look amazing.

[@iceeblueburst03]

4:16 What a nice little feature it has! You sometimes tend to get special features with these larger scale models which is really nice. The opening features remind me of the 1:24 scale die-cast cars where they would have an opening hood, opening doors, and opening trunk. I wonder what other cool features we might get with some other O gauge products?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you're right - I love the special features!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@GosportRailworks]

Have got one of these coming in the post, but do have the SR 5 plank wagon and those three link couplings should be loose and able to go at any angle within the holder, as for the wheels they should be like the other two, free to spin and my 5 plank is also loose either side but figured that was normal for O Gauge. Might be worth using a bent out paperclip to use as a coupling aid, bend it out straight then make one end into a slight hook might help, will be what I'll be doing with my stuff... once I find a paperclip... Great video again Sam! ~James

Hi Sam, I'm liking the O gauge stuff especially that Terrier. I have a suggestion that you might/might not like 🙂 how about adding another pair of points on the left of the line so that you have a passing loop and then you could run your engines around one end of the train to the other, anyway it's just a suggestion and i have been a big fan of your channel for a few years now.

[@alancarpenter2070]

Hi Sam, another good video. "0" gauge wagons! Yes, the chain links should be loose in the hooks and, they all looked rather distorted too. The wheels should have been more consistent although the details looked superb, especially the opening doors. Most of my wagons I built from "Parkside Dundas" which include everything you need except glue and paint, but including correct style couplings. My other wagons I fitted with "Peco" three link or instanters which are beautifully fitting. You will need to invest in two more buffer stops before you destroy your lovely Terrier by driving it on to the floor. You wouldn't want to do that, would you? To make the wagons look more realistic, you need to change two of their numbers. Your comment about the wagon looking large next to the Terrier, well, the Terrier is a very small 0-6-0 tank engine. You should see the full sized ones pulling a mark 1 coach, it dwarfs it. Keep well, regards Alan.

[@davidbugler4597]

Replace the rubbish couplings - in fact, maybe replace all your 0 Gauge couplings - with Slaters etched hooks and decent 3-link chains. They work like a dream. Available from Slaters website, or from the 0 Gauge paradise Tower Models of Blackpool. Also, weight the wagons to about 1 gram per mm of length over buffers. Since you are now working with sprung couplings and sprung buffers, your wagons need a bit of inertia to mimic the 'loose-coupling' effect. Brilliant review, though. It really shows how breathtaking a simple open wagon can be in 7mm scale.

Hi Sam, sorry for talking about something off topic, but have you ever been to the Severn Valley Railway? It is well worth a visit with a very wide variety of locos and rolling stock. By the way, another great video and they are some lovely, well detailed rolling stock there!

[@SamsTrains]

I never have been Charlie - though I'd absolutely love to visit! Glad you liked these! :D Cheers, Sam :)

Very cool! I model in O scale myself and I love it’s heft. If I might make a comment on the video (I love all your videos) as a professional railroader (railwayman?) why are you making your O scale crewman walk so far? No need to spot the cars so far beyond the points, as long as they clear. Unless your trying to NOT step on your layout underneath 😂. The poor crew has to walk and walking on ballast hurts your feet! 😜. I’d love to see you review the Dapol Class 08! I model US O gauge, but that Dapol 08 makes me want to build a British O gauge layout.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate - yes the size of O gauge has been something I've fallen in love with! I'm hoping to look into the Dapol 08 soon! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Lovely wagons there, Sam! Only really hampered by some mediocre couplings. Loving the O gauge videos, the sheer visual size of them is something OO just can’t match.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate, yes it was a shame about that! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@OlivierGabin]

Seems it is not only with OO gauge that Dapol had issues with couplings... Last bad thing to say about them, the OO tension lock they use are especially made from a abnormally brittle plastic, I had crushed half a dozen of them (and don't care because I want Kadees instead). Anyway, if they change this point, those wagon would be a must-have for an O scale layout.

[@SamsTrains]

haha very true - they can't seem to get them right! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@peterdavenport9106]

Another awesome video and those wagons look amazing If you do upgrade your O gauge railway are you gonna make it bigger like your ho scale railway?

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Peter - I don't know how much bigger, but there is an extension coming! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@jamesdunloptrains]

Sam'sTrains I sure will

[@Adam17805]

Now Sam this is the first of a few quizzes I have for you and there will be a 4 digit code at the end for the next one to see if you have been paying attention. 1 of these three gauges which do you prefer. O gauge. OO gauge or HO gauge. 2 diesel or steam locos. And 3. Dc or dcc. The code is 1234. And thank you very much if you participate Sam -stay safe

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh fantastic A - I think maybe O gage at the moment, steam, DC! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Adam17805]

Sam'sTrains I see Sam now the games begin :)
