Slaters Plastikard O Gauge 7035 Gloucester 6 Plank Fixed Ends Private Owner Wagon Kit Unpainted

A detailed model kit of a 6 plank open mineral wagon built by the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company wagon to the RCH 1887 design.
The 6 plank wagon was designed to carry 10 tons and was built until the 1907 RCH specification was introduced when a 7 plank 12 ton design became standard. The top plank(s) of the 6 and 7 plank wagons were usually continuous, providing added strength to the body, though sometimes a top flap door was fitted. Small coal merchants normally ordered wagons with side doors only as they had no need for the ends door and these wagons were often painted in attractive advertising liveries.

Supplied with metal wheels, 3 link couplings and sprung buffers
