7 Plank Coal Wagon City of Liverpool No.1

7 Plank Coal Wagon City of Liverpool No.1

This 7 plank open coal wagon represents an example produced by the Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company in the early years of the 20th century. The City of Liverpool Cooperative Wholesale Society possibly purchased three of these wagons, paying for them in cash in 1904. The livery is simple, being white text on a black body. This has been replicated along with the additional sole bar builders plates etc. This wagon is supplied with a coal load.

Private owner wagons abounded prior to nationalisation, they would often be seen far from their base as they were sent to collect raw materials and supplies such as coal, and deliver finished goods.

All Peco wagons feature free running wheels in pin point axles.

The ELC coupling, whilst compatible with the standard N gauge couplings, keeps a realistic distance between vehicles and enables the PL-25 electro magnetic decoupler to be used for remote uncoupling.
