We have ordered the Buchanan (Gloucester) Ltd wagon with delivery planned for late Q2 2023.
W.L.Buchanan built up a small fleet of wagons based in the docks at Gloucester, most likely bringing in coal and returning with loads on imported timber. Initially the company name was signwritten diagonally, but this later view shows a wagon after the formation of the limited company with the company name displayed in an arc.

Antics' currently available and on-order specially commissioned model railway wagons in OO gauge. Wagons from the areas around our shops, principally Gloucestershire and the Stroud valleys, have been chosen. This allows a mix of colourful and decorative liveries to be presented, while many of the wagons would have been seen together en-route to and from collieries or destinations. The number produced of any one wagon is quite small, not exceeding 300 with some models only half.

We welcome suggestions for future models, ideally a photograph is required to allow the livery to be recreated.
