Plate Wagon, GW, dark grey

If you are looking for N gauge goods wagons, and don’t wishto construct your own, then are plenty of ready-to-run modelsavailable such as this one from the Peco ‘Quality Line’ range.This is a 15ft wheelbase plate wagon based on an LNER/LMS designwhich has low drop-sides, finished in GW dark grey livery. The realthings were used to transport steel rails and steel plates up to30ft in length, and some were also fitted with bolsters. Otherloads that would be carried include agricultural machinery andsmall road vehicles. . If you want to build it yourself to createa different variant or save some money, this is also availablein unpainted kit form as KNR-5.

Railway companies all had a stock of their own vehicles for carrying goods and merchandise around their network, and also onto other companies' routes as and when required.

These were integrated into British Railways at Nationalisation; some of them to be once more re liveried under sectorisation as the network was prepared to be returned to private ownership.

All Peco wagons feature free running wheels in pin point axles.

The ELC coupling, whilst compatible with the standard N gauge couplings, keeps a realistic distance between the vehicles and enables the PL-25 electro magnetic decoupler to be used for remote uncoupling.
