Quantity:
13,645 were built. Our kit represents the first batch of 409 built by Hurst Nelson in 1936. It features rivetted construction and the unique LNER brake gear. Examples lasted into the 1970's.
Product Code: PC16
The LNER introduced these plate wagons in 1940. The all welded body is of especial interest. During the war, the LMS built vehicles for its own use to this design. This wagon was a development of a 1937 prototype and itself became the basis of the BR standard wagon. Primarily used to carry steel plates, other conmmon loads were farm machinery, motor cars and large packing cases.
Product Code: PC17
The LNER trestle wagon is essentially a development of the standard plate wagon. It allows plates too wide to be loaded flat, to be carried safely. In pratise the testles could be removed and refitted as required to meet traffic fluctuations. Because of the large loads, these wagons mainly ran on the main lines between steel mills and shipyards and fabrication works.
Product Code: PC18
The double bolster is another deverlopment of the standard plate wagon. Typical loads were short steel sections, girders, reinforcing rods and pipes. In later days most of these wagons reverted to simple plate and trestle wagons. Chains are included in this kit for attaching to the bolsters.
Product Code: PC20
These were the biggest British open goods wagon when built, and were used to carry ammonium sulphate fertilizer fron ICIs Havertonhill Works on Teeside. Most of the fleet met an inglorious end carrying London rubbish from Enfield in the 1960s. The sulphate was carried in sacks and the wagons were sheeted (tarrpaulined).

Around Peterborough, the Great Northern Railway served extensive brick works which supplied the London market. To give extra brake power to the heavy brick and coal trains from Peterborough, the GNR built in 1921, some 50 ton fully braked fitted wagons to carry bricks. A gross laden weight of over 60 tons would be a very effective brake. In 1930 the LNER built a further 25, it is this variation which is depicted in our kit.
Product Code: PC24
Of an earlier generation than our other steel carrying wagons, this complements them by giving a bogie steel carrier. These particular vehicles survived from the First War to the early 1950s, and would be used for carrying long girders and steel sections.
Product Code: PC25
From 1938 the LNER altered its design of vacuum fitted open wagon to conform more closely to the practise adompted by the other Companies. It continued as a standard design until 1945, when it was given a steel body (our PC01A kit). These vehicles were common until the late 1960s, although some lasted longer on service department use.
Product Code: PC66
Although built in batches in the middle 1930s they still retained the time honoured wooden chassis. 1,378 in all were built to carry road vehicles, machinery or large packing cases. The drop sides and ends made them easy to load. Most lasted till around 1960
Product Code: PC31
These wagons were built in the 1930s to carry coal to engine sheds. After BR abandoned using wagons exclusively for this purpose they joined the general fleet, lasting into the middle 1960s.
Product Code: PC35
This vehicle originated in the 1930s as the LNERs standard container wagon. Many examples survived until around 1970 carrying all types of continers. Open containers were used for traffics such as building materials.
Product Code: PC13
These wagons were based on a GWR design, and at first they worked only from Hull Docks. The last war saw them in use throughout Britain, carrying grain from ports and growing areas to flour mills, maltings and breweries. First built in 1931, they lasted till the mid 1970s, when even then some were sold for private use. Two are preserved in Lough, Lincs.
Product Code: PC06A
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: PC26
This design was introduced in 1934, but our model features the slightly narrower body (by 2) standardised later, of which over 7,000 were built by the LNER. Most lasted in traffic until the late 1960s.
Product Code: PC50
This is the standard LNER cattle wagon built in the late 1920's. This kit represents the vacuum braked version many of which lasted in service into the 1950's. A feature of this kit is the moveable internal partition used for part loads of cattle.This kit is an ex 'Westykits'. They vary in some details of construction from our own kits. They are more suitable for the experienced modeller but we are sure that the builder will be well rewarded by the effect of the completed model.
Product Code: PC56
The LNER carried a hugh fish traffic. Almost 2,000 of these vans were built in 1938/39 and run until the 1960s. Their 12 foot wheelbase made them ideal for express fish trains and as tail traffic on passenger trains.
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: PC61
2,167 of these vans were built in the middle 1930's for general goods traffic. Unusually for 10 foot wheel base vehicles, they still retained wooden chassis. Originally they were 'non pool' and had to be returned to the LNER system, although by 1937 this restriction no longer applied and they were used throughout Britain. They were substantially built and many lasted into the middle 1960's.
Product Code: PC62
Similar in construction to PC61 (above), 500 were built in the middle 1930's for the LNER's substantial fruit traffic. This originated mainly in East Anglia but ports such as Harwich, Hull and Leith were also important. Outwith the fruit season, they might also be used for general traffic. Most lasted into the middle 1960's.
Product Code: PC30
117 of these vans were constructed from 1939 until 1950, lasting until about 1978.
Product Code: PC83
30 of these horseboxes were built by the LNER in 1938 mainly to carry racehorses to meetings throughout Britain. The first to include lavatories for the travelling grooms, the large rectangular lavatory windows made them very recognisable. Many lasted into the early 1960's. AVAILABLE NOW.
