The most July special edition wagon releases from 1E Promotionals were 5-planks for 'Charles & Frank Beadle' (RM3) and 'L Wagstaff' (PE1). Charles & Frank Beadle operated from Cray coal wharf at Erith in Kent and this was wagon No.28. The model is one of 275 produced for 1E Promotionals by Dapol. The second wagon is of a Huntingdon based coal merchant and carries the number 22. Only 150 of these were produced by Dapol.
