After Richard Maunsell took the reigns from Harry Wainwright in 1913 he worked on a series of new locomotives which were intended for a long service life, this involved the conversion and upgrade of 11 E class locomotives, resulting in the E1 class. This proved very successful and led directly to the conversion of 21 D class into the D1 class between 1921 and 1927. Though arguably, not as elegant as the D class equipped with a larger boiler, a belpaire firebox and longer travel cylinders the D1 was able to produce a considerable haulage and power increase over its predecessors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInitially allocated to Ashford shed, this class was to be found all over the south-eastern division from London to the south.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithdrawn in November 1961, no preserved examples exist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTechnical Specification\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Diecast Chassis\u003cbr\u003e• Low centre of gravity located between the driving wheels\u003cbr\u003e• NEM couplings with removable coupling pocket\u003cbr\u003e• Sprung buffers\u003cbr\u003e• R2 (438mm\/17.2”) minimum radius\u003cbr\u003e• Pickup from tender and driving wheels\u003cbr\u003e• Powerful 5 pole motor located within boiler\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePull Out PCB for a tool-free DCC \u0026amp; Speaker fitting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• ‘Snap-fit’ conductive tender drawbar\u003cbr\u003e• Options for bass reflex speaker in tender (pre-wired)\u003cbr\u003e• Firebox glow\u003cbr\u003e• Profiled wheels\u003cbr\u003e• Detailed motion\u003cbr\u003e• Removable coal load with internal tender profiling\u003cbr\u003e• Fully detailed back-head and cab interior.\u003cbr\u003e• Back by Dapol’s comprehensive warranty and service\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eVariations (dependent on model represented)\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Two frame variations (to include early D class conversions)\u003cbr\u003e• Two cab types\u003cbr\u003e• Two Chimney types\u003cbr\u003e• Two Smokebox types\u003cbr\u003e• Three dome types (with\/without top feed and plated)\u003cbr\u003e• Two safety valve types (Ross-pop and Ramsbottom)\u003cbr\u003e• With and without snifter valves\u003cbr\u003e• ‘High capacity’ tenders\u003cbr\u003e• Manual and automatic lubricators\u003cbr\u003e• Additional minor detail variations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58256668590464,"sku":"DAP-4S-028-006-PO","price":179.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_2915_4667903e-f8d6-4ddd-9e94-e5f38074f775.jpg?v=1781273606","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/dapol-4s-028-006-po-pre-owned-4s-028-006-secr-maunsell-d1-class-br-black-sunshine-lettering-4-4-0-steam-locomotive-no-31487","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
