Add authentic local coal traffic to your model railway with this charming H.W. Snow & Sons 5 Plank Wagon, faithfully reproduced in 1:76 scale for OO Gauge layouts.
H.W. Snow & Sons were coal and coke merchants based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Their wagons could be identified by their distinctive diagonal red lozenge markings, giving them an instantly recognisable appearance among traditional British private-owner freight stock.
Coal for the company travelled from the Great Western Railway main line at Cholsey along the branch line to Wallingford, where it could be transferred from rail to road for local distribution.
This detailed 5 plank wagon recreates one of the company's distinctive vehicles and is an excellent way to introduce traditional coal and mineral freight operations to a steam-era model railway.
Compact and full of period character, it makes a great addition to goods trains, station yards, coal merchant scenes and industrial layouts.
