Oxford Rail OR76MW015B OO Gauge BR Grey 7 Plank Open Wagon Weathered Finish No. P72521
After Nationalisation, the large fleet of former Private Owner 7 plank wagons were painted in the new house colours of Grey by BR. Our 7 plank wagon recreates this livery in a weathered finish.
The standard 12 Ton Mineral wagon was the most numerous design of coal wagons built in the UK after 1923. Designed to RCH specifications (Railway Clearing House) this most ubiquitous of wagons had a universal length of 16'6" with a width of 8'0" and wheelbase of 9'0". These wagons were of a simple design and employed standard RCH fittings throughout and were originally built as the Oxford Rail model depicts with seven side planks, making an overall body height of 4' 4".
The Oxford Rail Standard RCH 12 Ton Mineral wagon boasts finely engraved body and underframe detail plus NEM couplings.
