The Palbrick Wagon dates back to the mid 1950s, seeking to replace the ancient brick wagons used by LNER.

Originally medium goods wagons converted to carry pallets of bricks, the Palbrick featured 3 different variations for different sizes of pallets. Palbrick A could carry 13 tons, whereas B and C could carry 16 tons.

Across all of the roughly 1400 Palbrick wagons that were made, all of them had some changes or variations to them that differed from the standard templates.

By the 1960s, most of them had fallen out of use and converted into other types of wagons. Some converted into match wagons, others into shell case wagons. Now, very few exist across the UK.

KR Models will produce both body shapes of the Palbrick B wagon, the most common.  Available to order in a 3 wagon pack. 

Catalogue listing

KR Models Set of 3 BR Palbrick B Wagons (Modified Frame Body) is a 00 gauge model produced by KR Models. The manufacturer's part number is KRM‑PAL‑OO‑FRM and the model represents British Railways in the late crest period.

The set includes three running numbers: B024794, B024661 and 024682.

The original Palbrick wagons were introduced in the mid‑1950s to replace the older brick wagons used by the LNER. They were medium‑goods wagons adapted for carrying pallets of bricks and were built in three size variants. The Palbrick A could carry 13 tons, while the B and C versions were rated at 16 tons.

Around 1 400 Palbrick wagons were constructed, each showing individual modifications or variations from the standard design. By the 1960s most had been withdrawn from service and many were rebuilt as match wagons, shell‑case wagons or other types, leaving only a few surviving examples in the United Kingdom today.

KR Models will produce both body shapes of the Palbrick B wagon, the most common variant, and offer them as a three‑wagon pack available for order.
