Southern Railway Stroudley 4-wheel coach deco samples arrive

In this production run, Dapol will be making the Southern-lined green, electrically illuminated version of the coaches and all the associated underframe detailing. The run will see two Brake third coaches, a composite and an all third coach being produced. The coaches will all have short buffers and couplings, with the 3rd brake coaches having the prototypically longer buffers at the brake end of the coach.  

Featuring a diecast compensated chassis, metal sprung buffers and a detailed body with many separately added detailed parts, the new coaches will make the ideal accompaniment to a green Southern liveried Terrier. 

Lightbar Fitted options are also available and a close-coupling bar will be offered with these coaches for the converted main line coaches with buffers. 

Decorated samples have been produced and the final tweaks are being made. The models are expected in shops towards the end of Quarter 2, 2025. Prices are as follows;

• Unfitted - £122.96
• Lightbar Fitted - £150.90
• DCC Lightbar Bar Fitted - £184.43
