Production Details:
Hornby Guest Keen & Nettlefolds 7 Plank Wagon No111.
This open plank wagon carrying the name ‘Guest Keen & Nettlefolds’ is an
ideal model to add to a steam period freight train. Whilst wooden plank
wagons were mainly used during the steam era they remained on the rails
into the diesel era and there are many still on preserved railways
around the UK today making this a timeless piece to add to a model
railway layout.These private owner wagons represent one of the thousands
that were used throughout the 20th century to transport goods. Wagons
could be found in countless different liveries belonging to independent
companies as well as railway companies. This private owner wagon is
based on Guest Keen & Nettlefolds Ltd’ which would have mainly
transported coal in the Welsh region. Guest Keen & Nettlefolds can be
traced back as early as 1759 and played a part in the Industrial
Revolution as the founders John Guest, Arthur Keen, and Joseph Henry
Nettlefold were key figures in iron and steel production.
