Parkside Kits O Gauge PS03 RCH 1923 7 Plank Open Wagon LMS/LNER/SR/Private Owner
The Railways Clearing House produced an updated set of wagon designs in 1923, modernising the wagon fittings to include now oil lubricated axle boxes. Widely adopted as the 'standard wagon' for private owners the 7 plank open wagon was selected by the LMS and LNER as their standard type for mineral traffic. Wagons to this design were also owned by the SR for mineral traffic around the Kent coal field and leased by GWR when additional capacity was needed In addition many private owners names appeared on the sides of these wagons, making this one of the most useful wagon kits in the Parkside range.
Supplied with metal wheels and 3 link couplings.
The Railways Clearing House set standards for the construction of railway wagons for acceptance by the railway companies and wagons to this design were built for many private owners.
Several railway companies adopted RCH standards for their own wagons, this 1923 design being used by the LNER as the companys' standard 7 plank open wagon.
