Taunton Concrete Wagon (ex-GW Sleeper) kit - Cambrian C29

Description

C23 BBA 75.5 t Wagon
- OO unpainted plastic kit
In the
late 1950s
sides were fitted to GWR sleeper wagons so that concrete products such as troughing could be carried.
These worked from the Concrete Works (north-east of Taunton Station, now a housing estate) to wherever the load was destined. Some survived until the late 80s on the Southern Region, one in particular, which had been air-piped, was based at Woking.
Another found its way to the
Isle of Wight
. This late survival led to the preservation of some wagons, and removal of the sides e.g. West Somerset Railway & Bluebell Railway (restored to Sleeper wagon).
Alan Gibson Wheels compatible : 12mm 3-hole
Easy to assemble and fun to paint.
