Hornby OO L&MR Coal Wagon - Era 1

Freight duties of transporting coal were extremely common in the early days of the L&MR due to the sheer number of locomotives needing it for fuel. Coal wagons were used for transportation as previously, separate coal containers would be loaded onto flat wagons and then unloaded at their destination. This process led to heavy wear and tear on both the flat wagon and the container. By 1833, this process was phased out.

The diminutive open-topped coal wagon is finished in an L&MR brown livery. The accessory bag contains two chain couplings.
