Rapido Trains UK is adding three newly tooled versions to their 009 Gauge ‘All-Purpose’ Wagon range. These versions include a Wooden Coal Hopper, Rectangular Tank Wagon, and Round-Ended Flat Wagon.

Narrow gauge railways served an eclectic mix of industries, with their rolling stock being used for even more diverse purposes. These new versions offer more opportunities to run these unique trains by expanding your options of wagons even further.

Tank wagons came in all shapes and sizes, and it was not uncommon to see a narrow gauge railway with a handful of Rectangular Tank Wagons in its fleet. They could be utilised for any liquid imaginable, making them ideal for refuelling, water storage, hazardous liquids, or simply transporting vital supplies to a contractor's site or wartime front line.

The new Rectangular Tank Wagon range liveries cover common reasons for these to be used, plus some undesignated ones in different colours. They are going to look at home on your layout, no matter their purpose.

This ready-to-run model in 009 gauge is produced by Rapido Trains UK.
