Model of a 20-ton steel bodied open coal wagon in GWR livery. This model has a weathered finish applied. The weathering is hand applied and will vary between wagons.
The GWR promoted the use of these high capacity and durable 20-ton wagons in the 1930s, having used them for many years to haul locomotive coal. The company built a fleet of these wagons, hiring them to coal traders to encourage them to replace their old 10 and 12 ton capcity wooden wagons.
This model is ideal for both commercial deliveries and company (locomotive) coal traffic.
