Ready to Run Wagons

Tower Models Limited Edition

The Midlands Coal Wagons

The Dapol ex Lionheart wagons as standard are done to the earlier 1892 specification but we have arranged with Dapol to change the underframes on most to cover the 1923 RCH specifications with brakes on both sides rather than brakes on a single side. With the change in regulations many of the wagon were converted to the later specification required when they ended up going in for maintenance. If you wanted to model them as earlier examples you could always remove the brake from the second side which would be much easier than trying to add the brakes if they were not present. The only exception to this is W J Busby where with time frame it would only of featured brakes on one side.

We have tried to go for coal trucks which had a relatively long operational life and also tried to pick wagons with attractive liveries where we can. All of these are now available.

As always if required we will also be offering our custom weathering service at £25.00 per vehicle with the customer choice of the degree of weathering.
