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 5 plank open wagon, side and end door, represents.

As far as we know only the prototype of this wagon was ever built for this coal merchant in Brackley. This 5 plank 8 Ton wagon was built in 1911 for J.G. Stanton, with the running number of 22.

This wagon was registered to the great Central railway.

It’s livery was a red oxide body and solebars with black ironwork, the lettering was white with black shading.

As was standard for this period a brake was fitted on one side only.
