Hornby R60104 Triple Denaby Colliery, Leicester Op & Hall & Co-Era 3 Railway Rolling Stock Wagon Packs, Multiple

The ubiquitous open wagon has been a common sight across the UK for years. Regardless of their size, these wagons could be found in various settings, from individual units moved by small tank engines to large rakes hauled by some of the largest tender engines of the time.

These wagons were largely unspecified, capable of carrying any cargo that did not require protection from the elements. As rolling stock technology advanced, the general-purpose open wagon saw its usage become more limited, with wagons designed specifically for their cargo gradually superseding the standard open wagon during the 1940s and 1950s.

Many open wagons found their way into private ownership, with companies commissioning the Big Four railway companies to transport their wagons to their destinations. These plank-built wagons were often seen forming a colorful patchwork behind the freight engines of the Big Four.

The open wagons are equipped with NEM couplings and metal wheels, allowing them to roll freely and be assembled into long rakes, even behind small locomotives tasked with hauling them. These wagons also feature internal plank detailing, and a load is not required if the user does not wish to add one.
