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.

These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels. Glue and paint will be required, along with appropriate transfers.

This attractive, single-story laser-cut wooden building, perfectly complements the current PECO Great Little Trains series of Ffestiniog Railways rolling stock, as well as the new arrival of the latest batch of Small & Large England locomotives, which will be keeping the Ffestiniog Railway at the forefront of many modellers' minds at the moment.

These laser-cut kits feature some very fine detailing, such as the combination of textured slate and shingle-type roof tiles, as well as the ribbed walls - replicating the authentic and rustic nature of the building. It may be a model of a specific location but this does not restrict its appeal. This building would also be ideal to represent a village hall, cricket pavilion, scout hut, or other country-style  building.

The kit includes a separate and distinct double-armed semaphore, (as per the location), adding appeal to an already attractive model.
