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 produce both body shapes of the Palbrick B wagon, the most common. 

Catalogue listing

KR Models Set of 3 BR Palbrick B Wagons (Full Body – Original) is a model railway product representing British Railways rolling stock from the late crest period. The kit is supplied under the manufacturer part number KRM‑PAL‑OO‑ORG and includes three wagons with running numbers B462754, B462707 and B462781.

The Palbrick wagons were introduced in the mid‑1950s to replace earlier brick wagons used by the LNER. They were medium‑goods wagons adapted to carry pallets of bricks; the B variant could handle a load of 16 tons. Of the approximately 1 400 Palbrick wagons built, each exhibited minor differences from the basic design, and many were later converted into other wagon types such as match wagons and shell‑case wagons. By the 1960s most had been withdrawn from service, and only a few survive in the United Kingdom today.

KR Models manufactures both body shapes of the Palbrick B wagon, which was the most common version, and supplies them as a set of three fully detailed, original‑liveried models.
