Built in the 1950s these 35t GLW (Gross Laden Weight) wagons served the railways for many years transporting iron ore from British iron ore mines for steel production. As that traffic ended so the wagons found plenty of other uses, especially with the BR Civil Engineers department, and many lasted into the 1980s as a result. This bauxite liveried example represents the wagon in its original brake-fitted condition, as opposed to the unbraked grey livery version, although to be fair it would never have been so clean! An ideal weathering project for the modeller!

Produced from new tooling, fine moulded detail, sharp printing, free running metal-tyred wheels and removeable couplers are the key features of our new models. But best of all, they represent excellent value for money when compared to the competition, and all British-made too here in Beer!
