Manufacturer description

The 5 plank wagon was in the middle of the range in terms of size of private owner wagons used in the UK. Wagons such as these were responsible for hualing the lions share of cargo around the UK in the pre-grouping and grouping era. Such wagons would be assembled in long colourful lines with wagons from other companies, only being shunted from the consist when they reached their destination. Such wagons would often be seen behind locomotives such as the Dean Goods on the Western Region, Black 5 with the LMS, P1 with the LNER and S15 on the SR.

Prototype information

The Oxford Rail OO gauge 5 Plank Mineral Wagon is a model of a historic wagon design. It is based on a T Bowler London wagon, specifically No.101.

The model is finished in a realistic representation of a painted black finish, which is typical of the period it represents. The livery is also accurately depicted as that of T Bowler.

The wagon measures 100 mm in length, making it a compact and detailed model. It is designed to be operated on OO gauge track, which is a popular scale for model railways.

This model is part of the Oxford Rail product range and represents a wagon from the pre-grouping period, prior to the 1923 grouping of British railway companies.

The model is intended to be a faithful representation of the original wagon, with attention to detail and accuracy. It is a suitable choice for model railway layouts depicting the early 20th century railway scene.
