Well-known biscuit makers Huntley & Palmers established themselves as one of the first global brands through the use of the railways. Their plant at Reading was connected with both the GWR and SECR (later SR) and the company owned a small fleet of coal wagons, finished in an eye-catching red livery, to ensure a steady supply fuel was always available.
Peco have produced a nicely detailed model of the standard RCH 1923 type 12-ton 7 plank open coal wagon for the TT:120 range. These wood bodied wagons carried many colourful private owner wagons and lasted into the late 1950s under British Railways ownership.
