7 plank open wagon with 9 foot wheelbase wooden solebar chassis. This is one of the older `Pre-Grouping' wagon types available as a kit (Peco KNR-220) This one has been modified `Kitbashed' with the standard couplings and coupler pockets being omitted, and My own `home brewed' fine chain link couplings and coupling hooks made from stiff wire fitted. The kits original spoked wheels (Plastic) have been used as they look much better than fitting solid disc wheels to such a nice wagon. As I intend to run this wagon as empty I have also attached (With slow setting super glue) a few grams of lead weights to the underside of the wagon chassis adding some much needed weight, This helps to keep it on the track when negociating crossings & pointwork, with the added benefit of smoother running and better behaviour when being shunted.

Loaded 7 plank open wagon having vital repairs done in one of the old shed sidings at Stoneybridge West.
