RTR Wagons 7mm Narrow Gauge

The humble slate wagon was an obvious choice to accompany the Quarry Hunslet locomotives as part of Bachmann Narrow Gauge’s NG7 launch range, however we’ve gone a step further and modelled not only the basket wagons used to transport finished slates, but the flat beds and coal wagons too. Based on those wagons used at Dinorwic Quarry in North Wales, once the second largest slate quarry in the world, these wagons worked on a vast narrow gauge railway network which was employed to move materials around the site. Flat bed wagons were used to transport slabs of slate from the rock face to dressing and finishing buildings and could also be employed to move other large, bulky items around the quarry.

The Dinorwic Quarry was set up to mine the slate found in abundance in parts of North Wales, with the finished slate moved by narrow gauge railways to ports and transhipment sites. Depicting dressed slates ready to leave the quarry, these Slate Loads are suitable for use either on their own as scenic decoration or loaded on to our Bachmann Narrow Gauge NG7 Dinorwic Wagons.

Based on those wagons used at Dinorwic Quarry in North Wales, the coal wagons were used much like the slate basket wagons to move dressed slate, but with their enclosed sides, they could also be used to move coal.
