Hornby BR Shunters Truck (Stoke Gifford)
A new model of the GWR diagram M3 shunters truck. These small wagons were provided for shunters in the GWR to provide a safe riding vehicle plus a mobile store for shunting poles, brake sticks, wheel chocks and spare lamps. The truck also provided a useful spacer between the locomotive and wagons being shunted, so wagons could be positioned in or collected from inside a goods shed without the locomotive having to enter the building.
This model is finished in as a truck running in British Railways years with a DW prefixed number. Truck allocated to Stoke Gifford yard, now the site of Bristol Parkway station where, although a small yard remains, the current car park area was once a vast marshalling yard dealing with traffic to and from South Wales and the West of England.
