Product Description
Freight duties of transporting coal was extremely common in the early days of the L&MR due to the sheer number of locomotives needing coal for fuel. Coal wagons were used instead for transportation as previously, separate coal containers would be loaded onto flat wagons and then unloaded at its destination. This process led to heavy wear and tear on both the flat wagon and the container. By 1833, this process was phased out.
The diminutive open-topped coal wagon is finished in an L&MR brown livery. The accessory bag contains two chain couplings.
