Ideal for OO gauge modellers and collectors building Era 3 freight trains or expanding a private-owner wagon collection with a Challenge Coal Company example.

The 7 plank open wagon was a widely used type of UK freight wagon, carrying general cargo before more specialised wagon designs became increasingly common. This Hornby model represents the Challenge Coal Company and is described as typical of the private-owner wagons that could form colourful mixed rakes behind Big Four freight locomotives.

Place the wagon on compatible OO gauge track and couple it to other suitable rolling stock using its NEM tension lock couplings. The model has a minimum curve requirement of Radius 2. Its internal plank detailing allows the wagon to be displayed without a load, while its metal wheels are designed for free rolling. Handle the model carefully during coupling, uncoupling and storage.
