Rapido Trains OO 928001 SECR 567 Dia.1744 2 Plank Open Ballast Wagon SECR Grey Preserved

The SECR standard design of engineering ballast wagon used the Maunsell/Lynes standard underframe design with a 2-plank drop-side body, initially with raised rounded ends, though later built wagons had straight 2-plank ends from new. The first wagons were built in 1919 the construction of 120 wagons was completed by the Southern Railway, replacing the eclectic mix of run-down wagons in use by the engineers with the new purpose-designed wagon. Most at least of the fleet passed into British Railways ownership, withdrawals starting as new BR wagons were built, though the last wagon lasted until 1971.
Model finished as SECR 567 in SECR grey livery as recreated by the Bluebell Railway using parts from a SECR wagon obtained from the Port of Bristol Authority.
