Hornby Railroad Open Steel Side Wagon – OO Scale
Another of Hornby’s basic models now in the Railroad range. The large open steel sided mineral wagon is based on a pre-nationalised design & originally released by Hornby back in 1972. Pre 1980’s models are in a self-coloured finish, post-1980 the models have a painted finish. The wheels are metal though some versions have plastic wheelsets. The model has large style tension lock couplings. Liveries produced include plain colours, private owner, Mainline, EWS, Hornby Railways 1996 ltd ed.
