OO 8 Plank Fixed End Wagon BR Grey (Early) is a detailed model train designed for realistic railway modelling and layout expansion in OO scale.
Featuring:
- Detail & Finish: This model showcases an accurate early British Railways grey livery, featuring fine moulded details and printed markings. The wagon’s weathered finish enhances its realism, with weathered wooden planks and rivets to capture the look of an early era freight wagon. The body is expertly painted to replicate the worn, industrial look of early 20th-century wagons used for cargo transport.
- Drive & Performance: As a non-powered freight wagon, this model relies on coupling to a powered locomotive for movement. It provides smooth coupling and reliable tracking, making it a great addition to your collection for both static display and functional layout integration.
- Control & Compatibility: This model operates on DC analogue track systems and can be coupled with any standard DC-powered locomotive. For DCC operation, a decoder would need to be added, but it is not DCC-ready out of the box. Control system information is not available.
- Couplings & Integration: This wagon is equipped with standard OO scale couplings, allowing seamless integration with other OO-scale rolling stock. The close-coupling mechanism ensures smooth operation on curves and straight tracks alike.

Why this model matters
The OO 8 Plank Fixed End Wagon BR Grey (Early) is a fantastic addition to any railway layout, especially for those interested in capturing the essence of British freight operations during the early 20th century. The detailed finish, weathered appearance, and accurate livery make it an essential piece for collectors and modellers who appreciate historical accuracy and high-quality craftsmanship.
How to use it
For DC models, place the wagon on a powered track and couple it to a suitable locomotive for movement. Regularly check the couplers for smooth operation and ensure the track is clean for optimal performance. As this is a non-powered freight wagon, a powered locomotive is required for movement. Ensure the wagons are securely coupled to avoid derailments. For DCC operation, a compatible decoder will need to be installed separately.
