Manufacturer description

This open plank wagon carrying the name ‘Williamson Ltd Coal of Liverpool’ is an ideal model to add to a steam period freight train. Whilst wooden plank wagons were mainly used during the steam era, they remained on the rails into the diesel era and there are many still on preserved railways around the UK today making this a timeless piece to add to a model railway layout.

These private owner wagons represent one of the thousands that were used throughout the 20th century to transport goods. Wagons could be found in countless different liveries belonging to independent companies as well as railway companies. As well as transporting manufactured goods, simple wagons like this could also be found moving materials such as coal when no more suitable wagons were available.
