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 model of the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company 6 plank open wagon, side and end door, represents.

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 iron work on the body was painted black. There were obvious exceptions to the above and some quite colourful wagons did exist. 

Our 7mm ('O' Gauge) kit is based on a batch of 32 wagons, which were built for the Caerbryn Colliery Co in May 1892. The running numbers for these wagons were 122 – 153. The wagons were painted Windsor Brown with white lettering.
