HISTORICAL NOTES

In 1887 the Railway Clearing House (RCH) issued its first set of specifications, which although not mandatory, did set down certain dimensional and other requirements in the construction of private owner wagons. 

It is a wagon built to these specifications that our 7mm ('O' Gauge) model of the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company 6 plank open wagon, side door, represents.

We currently have no information on this wagon other than the only known running number is 3. It is possible that it was a one off wagon. If anyone has information on this Oxford coal merchant we would be pleased to hear from you.

PAINTING DETAILS

The majority of private owner liveries were bases on one of four body colours; black, red oxide, grey or dark brown. The body colour was taken down on to the solebar, but all running gear and ironwork on the body being painted black.

There were obvious exceptions to the above and some quite colourful wagons did exist.
