R60257 Hornby 21 Ton Steel Mineral Wagon 'C' number 750586 in BR Black with LOCO branding - Era 4/5
New release - pre-orders invited - expected October 2024.

The 21-ton mineral wagon served an essential purpose in the early stages of British Railways control over the new national railway network. These wagons were essentially coal wagons, the logical evolution of the old 3 – 7 plank wagon designs of the grouping era.

These wagons were used for industrial scale coal transportation, with long trains of these being one of the only ways of transporting coal from the coalfields in the quantities required to keep the British steam train fleet running.

These wagons were of all steel construction with common yet uprated leaf springs to accommodate the load weight these would commonly haul. These wagons were fitted with side doors, to aid in the ease and speed of unloading the cargo.

This wagon is liveried in a BR black livery with an eye catching legend in yellow of ‘LOCO’ on the side. The hook couplings enable easier coupling of other rolling stock and locomotives on your layout. It features diecast spoked wheels.
