Dapol O Gauge 7F-073-007 GWR 7 Plank Open Wagon 02652 RCH 1887 Side & End Doors
Highly detailed model of the first RCH standard design 7 plank open mineral wagon finished in GWR grey livery.
The Gloucester RC&W Co had a large fleet of wagons available for short to medium term hire. and the GWR took wagons on short term leases to cover immediate requirements while new wagons could be built. These leased wagons were allocated numbers prefixed with 0, sometimes called the 'duplicate list', to ensure numbers didn't exactly clash with an existing GWR liveried wagon.
