The V-skip wagon was a ubiquitous vehicle on narrow gauge lines, used for carrying raw materials such as coal, stone and chalk to where it was needed or to be transferred to a standard gauge wagon. Our ready to run model is available in a pack of 3, in either brown or grey.

For narrow gauge models built to either 00 (4mm) or H0 (3.5mm) scale and running on 9mm gauge track. This rigid track system is particularly useful on small layouts with tight curves, and is fully compatible with the 009 Streamline track system.

The Snailbeach District Railways system was located in Shropshire and was built to carry lead ore over a narrow gauge route with a gauge of 2ft 4 inches. The mines were located at Stiperstones and they transferred their ore to a connection with the Great Western Railway at Pontesbury.  A fleet of various hopper wagons was used to transport the ore and it is one of those wagons that is the subject of our new model. Opened in 1877 the railway was finally closed in 1959, latterly using tractors to move the hoppers after the end of steam.
