Wagon Description: 

Rapido Trains UK’s recent releases of open wagons are the best that we have seen come to the OO gauge market in terms of accuracy, finesse of detail – particularly to the underframe – and the variations catered for. This Railway Clearing House design of 1907 could be seen across many private owners through to nationalisation, with many extending their lives further into internal usage with industrial users.

Rapido’s models feature the highest standard of injection moulded parts married with etched components and superbly free-running wheels in brass bearings. Supplied with tension lock couplings in NEM pockets, these may be easily removed if you wish to use more accurate couplings.

These World of Railways/Rapido Limited Edition wagons are branded with characteristic National Coal Board internal user markings, with their large white crosses clearly denoting they are for use on colliery networks and sidings away from the main line. This makes them a ‘must-have’ for anyone modelling collieries or their sidings in the post-WW2 period, ideally suited to the healthy number of industrial locomotives that have come to market in recent years in colliery liveries.

The markings chosen are based on typical representatives from around the country but are sufficiently generic to be not pinned down to one location. Collieries often had a mix of interpretations of the style which were locally painted which means you could add your own colliery name and easily change running numbers. There are four to choose from with different running numbers meaning you can start a rake of wagons off with variety and interest; ideal if you are buying all four models.
