The Ashover Light Railway, built between 1922 and 1924, was owned by the Clay Cross company and served the companys' stone quarries and roadstone crusher/tarmacadam plant. The railways' rolling stock was almost entirely ex-WD 'war surplus' and these D type wagons with their flat floors and full-length drop sides were the preferred design for transporting aggregate products. The company also owned six Baldwin 4-6-0 steam locomotives, models of two of these are being produced by Bachmann.
