Built by the Corris Railway, the Open End Door Wagon was designed primarily for hauling slate on “gravity” trains, which were hauled up the railway’s incline by steam, and sent back down by the power of gravity alone, with a brakeman stationed on each wagon to control speed. Bachmann is pleased to introduce this wagon to their growing range of HOn30/009 Welsh narrow gauge models. Examples chronicling the history of these wagons are available in this release, including original Corris Railway schemes, the GWR scheme used when the Corris was purchased by the Great Western Railway, and the Talyllyn scheme found on wagons in preservation.
