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

Oxford Rail's OO gauge Wm Barnard 5 Plank Mineral Wagon is a highly detailed model of a wagon that played a significant role in the UK's rail network during the pre-grouping and grouping era.

The model is finished in a striking grey and white livery, accurately representing the typical colours used by Wm Barnard, a prominent private owner of wagons in the UK at the time. Measuring 100mm in length, this model is a faithful representation of the real thing, capturing the essence of the 5 plank wagon's design.

The 5 plank wagon was a staple of the UK's rail network, responsible for hauling a significant proportion of the country's cargo during the pre-grouping and grouping era. These wagons would often be assembled in long trains, accompanied by wagons from other companies, and would only be separated when they reached their destination. They were a common sight behind a variety of locomotives, including the Dean Goods on the Western Region, Black 5 with the LMS, P1 with the LNER, and S15 on the SR.

This model is part of Oxford Rail's extensive range of OO gauge wagons, showcasing the manufacturer's commitment to producing high-quality, accurate models of British railway vehicles. With its detailed design and accurate colours, this model is a great addition to any OO gauge layout, allowing modellers to recreate the sights and sounds of the UK's rail network during the early 20th century.
