7 Plank Coal Wagon "Newbattle no.41"

7 Plank Coal Wagon "Newbattle no.41"

This 7-plank wagon represents an example operated by the Lothian Coal Company under the name "Newbattle".

This colliery was connected to the former Waverley Route, part of the new line now opened. An example of this wagon has been preserved at the National Mining Museum Scotland, at Newtongrange, also a station on the re-opened route.

The livery of black, with white lettering shaded red, comes complete with the thistle insignia.

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.
