Manufacturer description

The production of lime is an ancient process and reflects the importance the product has played in human development through the ages. Lime is a key ingredient in building materials such as mortar and cement, it is also an essential ingredient in many chemical processes, from the food industry to the manufacture of steel and bleach.

Moreover, prior to major industrialisation lime has also played an important role in agriculture as a soil pH regulator and conditioner and no doubt these covered lime wagons would have been a regular sight in areas of major agriculture.

MODEL
These Lime wagons are highly detailed and will be a great addition to your rolling stock.

Dapol Lime Wagon, reference 4F‑017‑024, is a OO gauge model of a Richard Briggs & Sons lime wagon in a weathered finish. The model represents the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR) and is built by various companies under licence.

The wagon is fitted with NEM couplings and a tension‑lock system, with NEM pockets and self‑centring couplings. It can negotiate a minimum radius curve of 1 (Radius 1) and measures 82 mm in length over buffer, 33 mm in width and 48 mm in height. The wheels are profiled and spoked, and the body, chassis and graphics are finely detailed and printed.

Lime wagons such as this were historically common in agricultural areas where lime was used to regulate soil pH, and in industrial contexts for the production of building materials, steel, bleach and various chemical processes. The model provides a highly detailed representation of this once‑ubiquitous piece of rolling stock.
