Manufacturer description
After the success of our Commemorative Wagon range in 2025, continue building your train with our new 2026 offerings.
For our 2026 range, the focus is on Pioneering UK Railways. With so many history shaping railways to choose from, we hope you can forgive us for narrowing the list down to 3 major lines which will be represented. This wagon represents the Stockton and Darlington Railway.
Perhaps one of the most famous early railway lines, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was a pioneering powerhouse. The L&MR’s list of railway firsts includes being the first inter-city railway in the world, the first railway to rely exclusively on steam power, the first to be an entirely dual track line throughout its length, the first to have a true signalling system, and the first to be fully timetabled. 2026 also marks 200 years since the passing of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Act of 1826.
We have chosen to represent these incredible feats of early rail infrastructure with the same 7 plank wagons as the Railway 200, NRM50, SDR200, and Greatest Gathering models used last year, allowing modellers and collectors to build a consistent and now fairly impressive train!
