PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 21-ton mineral wagon served an essential purpose in the early stages of British Railways' control over the new national railway network. These wagons were essentially coal wagons, the logical evolution of the old 3 – 7 plank wagon designs of the grouping era. These wagons were used for industrial-scale coal transportation, with long trains of these being one of the only ways of transporting coal from the coalfields in the quantities required to keep the British steam train fleet running. These wagons were of all steel construction with common yet uprated leaf springs to accommodate the load weight these would commonly haul. These wagons were fitted with side doors, for easy, speedy unloading of the cargo. This wagon is liveried in a BR black livery with an eye-catching yellow legend of ‘LOCO’ on the side. The hook couplings enable easier coupling of other rolling stock and locomotives on your layout. It features die-cast spoked wheels.
