 About the wagons...
Between 1913 and 1914 the SECR purchased a number of wagons from RY Pickering. These wagons were built to move coal and were at the time were primarily used by Willam Cory & Son (Coal Factors) based in Erith.
These wagons carried a variety of liveries - Wainwright light grey with small SECR lettering and black metalwork, all over Maunsell dark SECR grey with large lettering and also standard SR pre-1936 brown.
We are pleased to offer these wagons for the first time in 4mm OO gauge. These wagons are produced by Rapido using their latest RCH 7 plank open wagon tooling featuring both side and end doors, angled vee-hangers, double sided brakes, flat-fronted axleboxes and split-spoked wheels.
Although not all minor detail differences can be captured with this tooling, these wagons will be as close a representation of the SECR wagons as possible and will fit perfectly with the new SECR brake vans – particularly our exclusive single-veranda types.

Rapido Rapido Set of 3 SECR 12‑ton 7‑plank Mineral Wagons (SR Diagram 1358) – Early SECR livery (light grey). The set is a limited‑edition release from the Rails of Sheffield exclusive range, carrying manufacturer part number 967235 and representing the pre‑grouping period.
The three wagons are supplied individually numbered 14591, 14593 and 15005. They are modelled in the early SECR light‑grey livery with black metalwork and small lettering, following the original design used by William Cory & Son in Erith for coal transport between 1913 and 1914. The wagons were originally built by RY Pickering and later appeared in several liveries, including Maunsell dark grey and SR pre‑1936 brown.
Produced in 4 mm OO gauge using Rapido’s RCH 7‑plank open‑wagon tooling, the models feature side and end doors, angled vee‑hangers, double‑sided brakes, flat‑fronted axleboxes and split‑spoked wheels. Minor detail differences are not captured, but the wagons are intended to be a close representation of the original SECR stock and are compatible with Rapido’s exclusive single‑veranda SECR brake vans.
