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.
Flat-bed wagons were ideal for carrying any number of different loads, though common loads included boxes, sleepers, machinery and equipment. Variants on the design often included vertical end walls, which prevented lighter loads from shooting off the ends when braking or on inclines. Wagons like these were regularly used by the military to move munitions or by paper mills for stacks of paper.
A crate is included as a load in each version, each carrying the livery of a different business or having the contents noted on the box label. The crate is separate from the wagon, so if you would prefer to fit your model with a different load or leave it empty, you can.
This ready-to-run model in 009 gauge is produced by Rapido Trains UK.
