Based on the Lynton & Barnstaple box van, this partially fictitious livery will chime well with fans of the Ffestiniog Railway and the wider OO-9 community. Located in Porthmadog, centre of the universe as far as Welsh narrow gauge enthusiasts are concerned, beer from the Purple Moose Brewery is popular with many visitors to the area and is the inspiration for this unique little wagon. Why not visit their website and learn for yourselves the origins of this local brewer and the tale behind the very unusual name! PURPLE MOOSE BREWERY

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.

Something a little bit different, these excellently finished ready to run wagons are fictitious and based on some of our more popular ready to run wagons in the N Gauge range.

Based on our GR-231 Lynton & Barnstaple wagon (SR Livery) No 28313, this is an unlettered version for those who wish to create their own narrow gauge system or emulate another. Although unbranded, it still features the legally required weight and tare markings and strapping detail, plus separately-fitted brake levers and vacuum brake pipes. As with all of our previous models in this scale, it is free running and complete with couplings, which plug into the integral NEM pocket.

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.

These finely detailed ready to run coaches and wagons are accurately modelled on the rolling stock of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, both as an independent railway and after its' absorption into the Southern railway in 1922. They are also available painted but unlettered for those modellers who wish to tailor them for use on other lines.

Wagon 22 was an open bogie vehicle of 8 ton capacity, built at the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway’s workshop at Pilton in 1903 to complement the existing fleet, which included a number of similar vehicles built by Bristol Wagon and Carriage Works. The LandBR had no regular freight workings, and goods vehicles were added to passenger trains as required. They were all fitted with vacuum brakes to allow them to be marshalled between the loco and coaches, and negate the need for a separate goods brakevan. Freight moved on the LandBR included coal, ballast, farm machinery, hay and even manure! From new all freight vehicles were painted light grey with black ironwork. Under Southern Railway ownership the wagons were repainted standard SR brown, and number 22 became SR number 28313. Our model faithfully represents this particular vehicle, with careful attention being paid to details in the livery, plus separately-fitted brake levers and vacuum brake pipes. As with all of our previous models in this scale, they are free running and complete with couplings, which plug into the integral NEM pocket.
