Graham Farish N 377-097 Coal Trader Triple Pack 7 Plank Private Owner Wagons Weathered
A set of three private owner open coal wagons which have had some planks replaced to keep them in service and completed with a weathered finish.
During the heyday of the 'private owner' wagon the wagons would have been carefully repainted after repairs, but once pooled during WW2 'running repairs' normally went unpainted. Many wagons could be seen in this sort of condition in the early British Railways period from 1948 into the early 1950s, as servicable wagons were patched up and kept going until sufficient new wagons could be built.
