One of the great features of the steam railway was the mixed goods train, where an assortment of vans & wagons of all descriptions would be hauled from one station goods yard to the next.Some would have belonged to the railway companies, but many would have been the so-called 'private owner' wagons bearing the distinctive and often colourful liveries of individual businesses. Most of these were coal wagons, bearing the names of collieries and coal traders, but there were also covered wagons for lime and salt, along with vans and tankers of all descriptions. Some would never venture very far from their owner's mine or coalyard or factory, but others would range far & wide throughout the railway network. John Delaney's lime wagons would have travelled a long way from their Northern heartlands, and Thrutchley's coal trucks could have been seen pretty much anywhere. Coupled up together they make a typical sight from the goods trains of the steam era. Recreate the good old days on your layout with our Northern Set 3.

Please note that these wagons are boxed individually.
