Why this model matters

Private owner wagons like those operated by Mortimore were a common sight on Britain’s railways in the early 20th century, used for transporting coal, minerals, and general goods. They add historical authenticity to pre-nationalisation freight consists.

How to use it

Place on OO gauge track and couple to a steam or early diesel locomotive. No assembly required.
