Presumably to fit either kitbuilt bodies or those from other manufacturers, e.g. Farish and Peco who both also do 7 plank bodies. I'm sure it would also suit more general steel mineral, as well as 3 and 5 plank wagons.

Even 009 folks would be interested in this I'm sure.

Seems a reasonable 'spare' for Dapol to offer - it's the kind of thing that's all too lacking in this era of 'sell completed models only' (a-la Bachmann).

Cheers,
