Dapol
Founded in 1983, Dapol originally entered the OO gauge model railway market but decided to withdraw from the UK’s OO gauge scene on 2000. Two years later the company entered the N gauge market by launching its 14xx tank engine. The company has since re-entered the OO gauge and O gauge markets.
