G.T. Parker & Sons were a private merchant company based in Boston (Lincolnshire), using wooden 7-plank open wagons like this from the late 19th century into the 1940s. These wagons carried coal, building materials, produce, and other general freight. The 7-plank design allowed for a heavier cargo load compared to 5 or 3 plank variants. This TT:120 7-plank wagon, in a black livery finished with white lettering and red drop shadow; 'G.T.Parker & Sons', is carrying the number '19'. Pairing with a small steam locomotive such as a Class 08 or J50 will create an authentic scene for this wagon's time period.
