Built in the 1950's these 35t GLW (Gross Laden Weight) wagons served the railways for many years transporting iron ore from British iron ore mines forsteel production. Asthat traffic ended, so the wagons found plenty of other uses especially with the BR Civil Engineers department and many lasted into the 1980's 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 removablecouplers are the key features of our new models. But best of all, they representexcellent value for money when compared to the competition, and all made in the UK.
