Production Details:
WYNNS was established in Newport, Monmouthshire, in 1863. Its founder,
Thomas Wynn was originally employed on the railways, but soon saw a need for
an improved "onward distribution" system after goods were unloaded from the
trains. Using a fleet of horses and carts, he transported goods that were
delivered directly to Newport by rail and soon formed an association with a
local flourmill, delivering flour to bakeries and shops in the local
valleys. An association that carried on until well into the 1950s, when the
mill had to close. This little K8 is shown in the WYNNS livery and carries
the registration EDW 640. (OO Gauge / 1:76 Scale)
