Manufacturer description

Prior to the standardisation of wagon design by the RCH in 1923 there were many variants available, depending on builder and region. Indeed, the standardisation of wagons was not universally adopted and took many years to gain acceptance and in this time variations were common and worked side by side with the standard design.

One of the variations that were often seen was the 7 Plank internally braced design. This had a shorter wheelbase (9 foot) than the standard design, had no end doors and had a capacity of 10 tons.

The model is designed to be highly detailed and features a weathered finish, accurately applied livery, and a realistic load.

The model measures 74mm in length, 33mm in width, and 35mm in height, and has a minimum curve radius of 1. It is designed for use on OO gauge tracks and features a NEM/Tension lock coupling. The model is built to a scale that is representative of the real-life wagons that were in use during this period.

The 7 Plank wagons were a variation of the standard design that was not universally adopted, and were instead used in conjunction with the standard design. These wagons had a shorter wheelbase of 9 feet and a capacity of 10 tons. The model is designed to be a great addition to any rolling stock collection, with finely moulded body and profiled wheels.
