TT:120 Wagons

Peco have produced a nicely detailed model of the 7 plank open wagon based on the RCH 1923 design for the TT:120 range.
The 7 plank open coal wagons were probably the most common wagons on Britains' railway network throughout the steam era. The standard 12-ton capacity coal wagon was introduced from circa 1907, with the design updated in 1923. Large numbers of these wagons were owned by the railway companies, colliery companies and coal factors, while the small fleets of local coal merchants often carried colourful advertising liveries.

While not a standard design, most 7 Plank wagons followed the same build criteria with drop sides to transport general merchandise. The 7 Plank Open Wagon, along with similar 3 and 5 plank versions, is a stalwart for locomotion. Exposed, easy to load, and pleasant in its simplicity, the open wagon was an essential part of the early days of the railway network, before roads had the capacity for freight that they have come to in the modern day. Plank wagons were owned by their respective companies, not leased from the operator as would become normal and as such early trains would be made up of an eclectic mix of colourful sign written wagons.

The vent van was a small multipurpose goods van which would transport all manner of items whilst keeping them protected from the wind and rain. The wagon design features a single vent on each end of the structure allowing air to flow thereby maintaining a cooler air temperature, beneficial for the transportation of perishable food items. Closed vans would often be loaded with all manner of miscellany such as flour, meat, parcels or perhaps scale models.

Built from 1964 to 1977, HAA wagons were built as method to move coal more efficiently, particularly with the aim of improving to supply of coal to power stations. It was intended that trains of these wagons could run in a continuous loop from the colliery to the power station and back, with machinery in place to allow loading and unloading at slow speeds. In reality it was often the case that the infrastructure to allow this type of running did not exist, particularly at the collieries and on the loading side of the journey, but nonetheless these wagons greatly improved coal transfer. With the decline of Britain's coal industry these previously extremely common wagons have now become extremely rare with most having been either scrapped or rebuilt as another form of wagon.
