OO9 RTR Goods Wagons

These covered box vans were ordered for use as ambulance vans on the WW1 narrow gauge trench railway system. The tall vans were not a great success on the temporary tracks of the front line, but proved suitable for the more permanent track found on estate railway systems.
Model finished in WD WW1 grey with weathered finish.

While the ambulance vans may not have been successful on the wartime trench railways the WD vans were useful additions Nocton Estate potato railways network. The vans appear to have been used as mobile stores for items like sacks, which could then be moved quickly to where they were needed.
Model finished in Nocton Estates light grey livery.

The two-part drop sides allowed the wagons to be emptied easily when carrying aggregates, while shells, rations, ammunition, timber, fuel and water in cans and even troops could be carried easily. The wagons could even be adapted quickly to carry casualties on stretchers.

The Nocton Estate Light Railway was one of two large systems of narrow gauge railways in Lincolnshire using ex-WD wagons to transport the annual potato crop to local mainline railway stations. The estates principal custmer being Smiths Crisps. A considerable number of these D type bogie open wagons were operated, being ideal the rapid loading and unloading of potatos during the frenetic harvesting seasons. When not needed for the crops these open wagons could equaly easily be used to load farm supplies, animal feed and materials for the maintenance of tracks, fences, roads and gateways.

A detailed model of Lynton and Barnstaple Railway open wagon number 1

A free running OO9 model featuring plenty of detail with separately fitted brake hangers, brake levers and vacuum pipes.

The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway was well equipped with, by narrow gauge standards, large 4-wheel open wagons and box vans supplied by the Bristol Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. At 4 tons capacity the open wagons were roughly half the capacity of a standard gauge coal wagons of the same period and well suited to the delivery of coal and agricultural goods on the narrow gauge line.
Length 60mm over couplings

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway 8 ton goods brake vans were built by the Bristol Carriage & Wagon Works in 1897, the company supplying three of these useful vehicles that could carry goods as well acting as the brake van and equipped with vacuum train brakes suitable for use with passenger trains.
This Peco model finished in the later L&B red livery as number 14 replicates the early open veranda style and features operating opening side doors, fine printing and metal rimmed wheels

Trains of slate wagons used to be gravity run from the quarries at Blaenau Ffestiniog to the harbour at Porthmadoc, this model pack is of 3 unbraked vehicles and has removable slate loads which are conveniently hollow, thus giving the modeller the added option of including some further weight if required.

Roughly one in five wagons was fitted with brakes. These were spread throughout the train and turned so the brake handles were all on the same side of the train, pointing towards Porthmadog. Different colours painted on the side bars denoted the various slate quarry companies; our packs feature random selections of these.
As these wagons tend to run in long rakes, the models have semi-permanent close-couplings fitted in their NEM pockets. These can be pulled out with fine nosed pliers and replaced with conventional OO-9 hoop-and-loop couplings (supplied) at each end of the rake.

Peco OO9 GR-330 Side Tipping Skip Wagon - Grey

Robert Hudson Ltd of Leeds are one of the best-known British suppliers of industrial narrow gauge and contractors' railway equipment. The 'Rugga' skip was probably their most numerous product, with several hundred still to be found on narrow gauge heritage lines, often still delivering ballast for the permanent way gang!

The familiar Rugga V-Skip tipping wagon design was introduced in the 1930s, developed from earlier designs dating back to the earliest railways and similar wagons ordered from Hudsons for WW1 trench railway requirements. They could be supplied to the customer's specific requirements with a skip size ranging from 13.5 to 54 cubic feet (0.38 to 1.53 cubic metres) and in most track gauges. The company boasted that at any one time several thousand could be supplied from stock!
The design allows the skip to tip in either direction, perfect for small industrial railways that needed to move and unload materials quickly and efficiently.

The Peco models are supplied in packs or 3 skips, complete with integral OO9 loop couplers designed for prototypical close coupling. This pack is finished with a grey painted body, one of the standard colours applied to a newly delivered or unusually well maintained skip (eg a preserved example).

Small 4-wheel coaches were the usual choice for narrow gauge railways, being well suited to the small gauge and sharp curvature of many of these lines.
This freelance model of a guards' brake and luggage van is based on the Glyn Valley Tramway coach design, so matches well with the GVT coaches and can also be used as a goods train brake van.

Peco are usually able to supply us with their models quickly, please allow 14 days for delivery.

A detailed OO9 narrow gauge model of Snailbeach & District Railways ore hopper wagon number 32 in grey livery.
The Snailbeach line was built to haul lead ore from the quarries around Snailbeach & Stiperstones in Shropshire to an interchange with the GWR at Pontesbury. The 2ft4in gauge line was well equipped, using rapid-discharge hopper wagons to transfer the load into standard gauge wagons. After WW1 two Baldwin 4-6-0T engines (as modelled by Bachmann) provided the main motive power for the line.
Model fitted with removable (NEM fitting) couplers and metal-rimmed wheels.
