A further addition to our model collection

DSCF2622

The latest addition to the Chasewater Railway Museum collection of Hornby ’0’ gauge is a slightly careworn and minus one buffer Pratts motor spirit tank wagon in green livery, representing the Anglo American Oil Company brand.

Reference to the New Cavendish publication in the Hornby Companion series shows that this particular example could only have been produced during the period 1923-1929, which means that it is the oldest ‘0’gauge Hornby wagon in the collection.

It came at the reasonable purchase price of £13.50

These wagons are kit-built 00 gauge models, hand-painted in Cannock Chase District locality liveries.  Propriety models are available in some local liveries.
