Private Owner Wagons

A bright red painted four plank open wagon operated by the Teign Valley Granite company of Bovey-Tracey in Devon.
Granite was quarried from the edge of Dartmoor and loaded into railway wagons for transport to customers. The Teign Valley company also operated other quarries around the south west of England.
This new release of the Teign Valley Granite wagon is being produced from Pecos' new N gauge wagon tooling and is fitted with the new metal-tyred wheels.

A detailed model of an 8-plank open coal wagon lettered for Ketton Cement.

The wagon also carries the identity of it's actual owners, Thos W Ward, the well-known Sheffield coal factors. It is likely that this wagon was painted  in connection with a long-term contract for the supply of coal to the cement companys' furnaces.

Early 14 Ton Tank Wagons with timber saddles, cradles and wire hawsers were built in response to the need for oil products to fuel Britain’s rapid development during the early-twentieth century, along with two world wars. As the hostilities of World War Two drew to a close, a new design of tank with a central anchor mechanism securing the tank to the chassis was agreed between the private operators, the Petroleum Board and the railway companies. Construction of this new wagon did not pick up pace until the early-1950s, and with the introduction of larger, vacuum braked tank wagons during the late-1950s, the Anchor-Mount design soon became obsolete, and the final wagons of this type were built in 1963.

Nicely detailed model of Kingsbury Collieries, Tamworth wagon number 700, finished in Kingsbury's unusual green livery

Nicely details model of a cylindrical oil tank wagon in the plain black livery chosen by many heavy-oil suppliers and consumers, with the owners name spelt out along the length of the barrel.

Based at Kilnhurst near Swinton, South Yorkshire, this company produced tar, mainly from the residue left over in gas and coke works. It would have been a messy business! They had a small fleet of tank wagons, including this example No. 597, one of 5 built by Charles Roberts in 1940 and registered by the LMS. Carrying the name in full in chrome yellow on the black tank side, we are sure that these wagons did not stay in this condition for long! As usual, the free running characteristics and fine printing of the livery come as standard on this model.
