Bachmann 393-226 3-Pack Dinorwic Slate Wagons (without sides) OO9 Scale - NEW

The model and prototype information below is taken from the Bachmann website:-

The Dinorwic Quarry was once the world’s second largest slate quarry and vast narrow gauge railway networks were employed to move materials around the site and then on to transhipment points. To transport slate on these railway lines, Dinorwic had countless four wheel wagons built to its own design – often hauled by Quarry Hunslet locomotives as already modelled by Bachmann Narrow Gauge. Therefore, the Dinorwic wagons were an obvious candidate to join our range of OO9 scale rolling stock and so we are delighted to unveil these all new models of the Dinorwic Flat Bed wagons.

The flat bed wagons were used to transport slabs of slate from the rock face to dressing and finishing buildings and could also be employed to move other large, bulky items around the quarry. These new Bachmann Narrow Gauge models are fitted with metal wheels and NEM coupling pockets and are supplied with both standard OO9 scale couplings, to couple to other rolling stock and locomotives, and simple hook and loop couplings which provide a much more discreet coupling solution within a train formation.
