PECO WAGON ''LONDON BRICK COMPANY'' NRP426

Peco NR-P426 7 Plank Wagon 'London Brick Company', No.988  | N Gauge

In 1923 the London Brick Company, who had works at Fletton and Millbrook, merged with Forder & Son, who had works at Bedford and Harlington, to form the London brick Company and Forders Ltd.

The wagon features a black body with bold white lettering along with a yellow Hod-carrier symbol. The wagon pictured above was built in 1906 and would have been one of a large fleet so a rake of these would make an accurate and interesting touch to any N Guage layout.

Private owner wagons abounded prior to nationalisation, they would often be seen far from their base as they were sent to collect raw materials and supplies such as coal, and deliver finished goods. All Peco wagons feature free running wheels in pin point axles. The ELC coupling, whilst compatible with the standard N gauge couplings, keeps a realistic distance between vehicles and enables the PL-25 electro magnetic decoupler to be used for remote uncoupling.
