An excellent review of the Dapol/Lionheart Mk1 coaches. They both look very effective on the garden railway. Thank you for highlighting the coupling of the coaches together and showing a solution to the smooth running of the bogies. As I am in the process of building an O guage layout in our garden these would be a great asset to the line.

Thank you Brian. No doubt, smooth level track helps the coaches 🙂

Good review, comments and insights, thanks for posting 😊👍 On the early prototypes, there was a seam, but on the model, the recess is, I'd suggest, for adding the later 'repaired/modified' window frames. You pays yer money and makes your choice.

I suspect you are right about the window frames. As I model the early 1970's (on the O gauge) Im ok not having the window frames.

@@ba14eagle Hi the repair frames started to appear quite quickly after the MK1's were introduced, although some without frames/as built made it through to the heritage movement era. Similarly with extra door strips/reinforcement photo evidence shows those fitted as early as maroon double lined, but were very noticeable/prevalent on the remaining NSE and Regional Rlys stock.

Yes, they have been weathered. They feature in one of my last videos from Summer Hampton.
