Fleet sizes ranged from small concerns with a single wagon to large enterprises whose wagon count could run into the hundreds. The majority of wagons in private ownership were wooden bodied open wagons and by far the most common commodity that they carried was coal, although other materials, including coke, minerals and aggregates might also be transported depending on the nature of business conducted by the wagon’s owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious types of 8 Plank Wagon were built, and this Graham Farish model depicts one with fixed ends, unloading would therefore be via the side doors and bottom discharge doors, which on the model are neatly engraved into the wagon’s bodyshell which is moulded with crisp plank lines and ironwork detailing. Below the solebar the W irons, axleboxes and springs are all reproduced to great effect, with separate brakes and brake leavers and metal door stops completing the look. The model runs on spoked wheels which are of metal construction whilst metal buffers adorn the bufferbeams. Authentic colours and typefaces are employed during the livery application prototype, completing this high-fidelity model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraham Farish N Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePristine ‘Gas Company Penistone’ Red livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning No. 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 49mm (over couplings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57350458900864,"sku":"GF-377-156","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/377-156.jpg?v=1770197244","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/8-plank-wagon-fixed-ends-gas-company-penistone-red","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
