Flat-bed wagons were ideal for carrying any number of different loads, though common loads included boxes, sleepers, machinery and equipment. Variants on the design often included vertical end walls, which prevented lighter loads from shooting off the ends when braking or on inclines. Wagons like these were regularly used by the military to move munitions or by paper mills for stacks of paper.

We have included a crate as a load in each version, each carrying the livery of a different business or having the contents noted on the box label. The crate is separate from the wagon, so if you would prefer to fit your model with a different load or leave it empty, you can. 

All the models from Batch 2 of the 009 Gauge ‘All-Purpose’ wagon range share a common underframe and are fitted with traditional NEM-compliant 009 'hook and loop' couplings, compatible with other manufacturers' designs.

Each of the new ‘All-Purpose’ wagon variants is available in a selection of colourful liveries, many of which match our previous All-Purpose-Wagon liveries. There are also numerous interesting private-owner branded wagons throughout the range for you to enjoy.
