Announcement: 16 July 2026. Retrospective report prepared on 14 September 2026.
Dapol announced another production run of its OO-gauge ICA Silver Bullet wagons on 16 July, adding running-number choices to the established tanker model. The proposed range includes NACCO and ERMEWA examples, with both pristine and weathered finishes represented.
The published specification lists separately fitted details, an etched handrail, profiled wheels and NEM coupling pockets. Factory-weathered models receive a multilayer paint treatment. These are returning models with new identities, rather than an announcement of an entirely new tooling project.
Dapol quoted recommended prices of £45 for pristine wagons and £49 for weathered versions, with shop arrivals anticipated during the first quarter of 2027. Those figures describe the July announcement and should be checked again when ordering.
The additional numbers may help modellers assemble a rake without repeating the same vehicle identity. Buyers should match each catalogue reference to the intended finish: the range includes several weathered examples as well as cleaner vehicles. Dapol explicitly labels the accompanying photographs as decorated samples and previous production models, so they are illustrative rather than final images of every announced wagon.
