Hornby R6642D 00 Gauge GWR Shunters Truck - Fowey Depot
A detailed
model of the GWR diagram M3 shunters truck. These small wagons
were provided for shunters in the GWR to provide a safe riding vehicle
plus a mobile store for shunting poles, brake sticks, wheel chocks and
spare lamps. The truck also provided a useful spacer between the
locomotive and wagons being shunted, so wagons could be positioned in or
collected from inside a goods shed without the locomotive having to
enter the building.
