This model of a 8-plank fixed end open wagon is finished in the livery of the Chatterley Whitfield colliery, Stoke on Trent.
The colliery was well served by the railway network, providing easy delivery to the industries of the midlands as well as direct connections to London, northern England and the south west. Many coal merchants purchased a range of coals, so colliery wagons would often been found making deliveries to stations well away from home.
The Dapol O gauge model of the 8 plank open wagon features:
- Finely moulded body and chassis with internal detail represented
- Opening side doors
- Finely applied livery and printed details
- Profiled wheels and axels with brass bearing pockets
- Metal sprung buffers
- 3 link metal coupling chain with sprung coupling hook
