Bachmann 37-158C 00 Gauge BR 8 Plank Fixed End Open Wagon ex-Private Owner Goods Grey Livery
An excellent model of an ex-private owner 8-plank open coal wagon in BR service. Painted in the standard goods grey livery this wagon carries a P series number and V marking indicating that doors are fitted into the floor for emptying into undertrack staithes or hoppers.
Following the pooling of coal wagons during WW2 many thousands of privately owned wagons were passed to British Railways at nationalisation. These wagons were painted in the standard grey livery and given numbers prefixed with the letter P.
