These wagons were built by the LNER from the end of the Second World War. 3,250 were constructed to this diagram. Lasted until the early 1970s.
Product Code: PC77
16,800 of these wagons were built between 1952 and 1958. They were widely used for coal traffic especially in North East England. Common well into the 1980s. The kit has a choice of roller and oil axleboxes.
Product Code: PC78
In the 1970's BR started to put new bodies on some of the older hopper wagons built in the 1940's and 1950's. Although basicaly the same design as previous some differences in body supports were made to simplify production. Some ran with vacuum brakes, while some were never given the continous brake. Examples lasted into the 1990's.
Product Code: PC68
400 were built in 1989-91, using redundant 21 ton hopper chassis to carry waste ballast.
Product Code: PC70
Like the Clam these wagons are built on redundant underframes to carry waste ballast. Drop side doors are a feature of this design.
Product Code: PC72
This kit builds either the vacuum fitted Grampus wagon or the air brake fitted Rudd, which were rebuilt from some Grampus in the early 1990s. The wagons are used to carry track materials, such as ballast (especially waste ballast) and sleepers. 722 Grampus were built in 1958-62. They have removable ends allowing plant to move between wagons. The Rudd rebuild has very heavy fixed steel ends. The unfitted Grampus wagons (previously our PC15, now being withdrawn) can be built using parts from our PA10 chassis kit.
Product Code: PC01A
6,500 of these wagons were built in the early 1950s, using a post war LNER design. They were used for general merchandise traffic. Many were still to be seen in trafficin the early 1980s and some lasted a few more years in the Civil Engineers fleet.
Product Code: PC02A
Over 8,000 of these wagons, with their characteristic corrugated steel ends, were built to an LMS design in the 1950s. Used for a wide range of goods traffic until the 1980s, some had their life extended another decade in the Civil Engineerss fleet.
Product Code: PC03
This was the first BR high capacity coal wagon, being introduced in 1951, coming from a GWR pedigree. Rivitted construction was used for the prototype modelled by us. These wagons were used for domestic as well as industrial coal, until withdrawl in the mid 1970s.
Product Code: PC04
These wagons were first built to replace the pre-nationalisation wooden bodied LOCO coal wagons, then in use. However they became most widely used for carrying coal to power stations and large works. They have also been used for carrying stone and aggregate traffic.
Product Code: PC19
This kit represents a vacuum brake fitted version on the standard BR mineral wagon. Some of these are still in use carrying Civil Engineers spent ballast and waste.
Product Code: PC21
These wagons were built in vast quantaties in the 1950s, chiefly as a replacement to the older wooden bodied design. As such they are an essential part of the railway scene of the third quarter of this century, being seen in nearly every railway yard and siding.
Product Code: PC22
Built 1945/46 to relieve war damage on the French railways, they were repatiated in 1951/52 lasting until the mid 1960s. They are noteworthy for the lack of an end door and the cupboard style side doors.
Product Code: PC27
About 1,900 of these wagons worked on the French railways after the War. After they were returned, almost 8,000 operated throughout BR until the middle 1960s. Our kit gives the choice of either pressed steel doors or the standard replacement welded type, which many carried.
Product Code: PC54
Well over 21,000 of these wagons were built from 1951-59. With a riveted body, some had fabricated welded end doors while others had pressed steel doors. Both these variations are catered for in this kit. Withdrawals took place in the 1960s, but many were bought by the NCB and steel works.
Product Code: PC32
This model represents the final stage of development of the traditional British mineral wagon. Built in the late 1970s using chassis from older wagons over 900 wagons were involved, but most were out of service after the 1984-85 coal strike.
Product Code: PC63
1,000 of these wagons were built in 1960/61 to carry both imported and home produced iron ore. Changes in the steel industry saw them transferred to other traffics, most commonly stone, in the early 1970s. Some were taken into the Civil Engineers fleet, where a few still last (1999).
Product Code: PC43
800 of these wagons were built between 1949 and 1954, to an LMS design, to carry iron pipes chiefly from the giant works at Stanton and Stavely. They were vacuum fitted during the 1950s and our model repesents this variation. With the decline in pipe traffic in the 1970s these wagons were utilised for various other traffic and some were transferred to the Engineers fleet.
Product Code: PC45
4,000 of these wgons were built in 1950-55 to carry such loads as farm machinery and containers. In the 1960s they had a second lease of life as Civil Engineers ballast wagons until withdrawal in the 1970s and 1980s.
Product Code: PC55
2350 of these wagons were built between 1954 and 1961 to BR's own design to carry steel tubes and other long loads. Some still survive in the infrastructure companies fleets. Our kit gives a choice of BR Long Link push brakes or clasp brakes for the vacuum fitted wagons. There is also a choice of Oleo or spring buffers and oil or Hybox axle boxes.
Product Code: PC60
A small fleet of these wagons were rebuilt from BR Tube wagons (PC55 above) in the middle 1960s to carry palletised beer barrels and kegs between breweries and distribution depots. Each wagon could carry 14 tons gross of palletised beer. The traffic declined in the 1970s but some of these vehicles lasted on as barrier wagons for hazardous loads.
Product Code: PC28
Built 1955/58 these wagons could be seen with a wide vareity of fragile loads such as glass crates, barrels of whisky and earthenware pipes. Our model incorporates a tarpaulin rail, which can be omitted if required.
Product Code: PC29
These vans were introduced in 1953/56 and were heavily utilised until the decline of traditional merchandise traffic in the late 1970s.
Product Code: PC07A
Over 17,000 of these vans were built in the 1950s to carry general merchandise traffic. The design has GWR features but without the characteristic roof profile and has the corrugated ends favoured by the LMS and LNER. Many were in service into the1980s. Alternative plywood doors are included. The above kit replaces a kit withdrawn previously. They feature entirely new bodies. For modellers wishing to make the series 3 &4 types with clasp brakes, Red Panda chassis can be used and the appropriate doors chosen. Alternative ends with both spring or hydraulic type buffers are included.
Product Code: PC08A
These vans of which over 3,500 were built in the 1950s are similar to the above type but have plywood substituting for timber planks in the body and have an equivalent history. Ventilation scoops are included with this kit, which allow the Fruit Van derivative (diag.1/233) to be built.The above kit replace a kit withdrawn previously. They feature entirely new bodies. For modellers wishing to make the series 3 &4 types with clasp brakes, Red Panda chassis can be used and the appropriate doors chosen. Alternative ends with both spring or hydraulic type buffers are included.
Product Code: PC09A
250 of these vans were built in 1952/53 for carrying chilled meat. In the 1960s many were used as ordinary goods vans before withdrawal in the early 1970s.
Product Code: PC41
This was the most successful BR design of van for carrying palletised loads. The 9ft. wide doorway gave easy access for fork lift trucks. 1944 were built from 1960. They were intesively used for twenty years. Then a small fleet was upgraded with a modified suspension and air brakes and was mainly for Ministry of Defence traffic beween many of their depots which had sharply curved sidings unsuitable for more modern rolling stock (our PC76 kit).
Product Code: PC42
After the second World War, the LMS built 6 of these experimental fruit vans. A further 200 were built by BR at Wolverton in 1949. They were in regular use until the mid 1970s and could be seen on parcels and passenger trains as well as freight trains. A batch of 250 were built at Darlington with a LNER type chassis.
Product Code: PC46
The heyday of container traffic was in the 1950s and 60s. Withdrawal was mainly in the 1970s. The FM container was used for chilled meat andfish as well as food products such as sausages and pies. Withdrawal took place in the late 1960s.
Product Code: PC52
This was one of the most common combinations of container wagon and container on British railways. 4,500 of the Conflat A wagons were built by BR along with no less than 9,080 of the BD contailer. The BD container was used for all types of general merchandise traffic. Period early 1950s to early 1970s.
Product Code: PC57
These vans were rebuilt from diagram 134 (PC56). They had insulated bodies and reccessed side doors and ran until the late 1960s latterly on shorter distance work.
Product Code: PC53
This well known vehicle stemmed from the final LNER fish van design. BR built over 1,000 of them. At first they had oil axle boxes, but for long distance work many were given roller bearings. The blue spot identifying these gave them their nickname. After fish service many were converted to Parcels Vans (SPV) and lasted into the 1980s. Our kit allows both oil and roller bearing axlebox versions to be built.
Product Code: PC65
2,388 of these vans were built in the period from 1952 to 1961 to carry goods loaded on pallets. Various changes were introduced over this period especially in the suspension which was the Achilles Heel of this design and our model represents construction over the 1952 1957 period. Withdrawal took place in the middle 1960s. Several survive on various preservation sites
Product Code: PC76
By the late 1970s a lot of merchandise was being carried on air braked trains. To cater for this 550 of the original Vanwides were rebuilt with air brakes, roller bearing axle boxes and an improved suspension (FAT19). The main use was on MOD traffic. By the 1990s this traffic was decreasing and many vans went into store.
Product Code: PC47
This is the BR built version of our PC39 kit. The main difference is that this type has plywood body sides but retains timber doors for strength. 150 were built between 1951 and 1955. Withdrawal took place in the early 1980s.
