Bachmann 13T LNER High-sided Steel Wagons B LNER Steel Open Wagon LNER grey 278785.JPG (38222 bytes)

In 1945, the LNER started building open wagons with steel bodies. The side doors were made of either steel or wooden planks. The dimples, seen on the sides and ends of wagons accommodate rings on the inside of the wagon to which ropes could be tied when securing a load.B LNER Steel Open Wagon BR brown B480768.JPG (39922 bytes)

 

 

Bachmann modelled three types of LNER steel open wagon in 2010 and three examples are illustrated here. The first is in LNER grey as No.278785 (38-329). This has the side doors made of wooden planks (six planks on iron straps). The other two, B480768 (38-325) and B480215 (38-326) are in BR brown with dimpled sides, steel doors and brake cylinders below.B LNER Steel Open Wagon BR brown B480215.JPG (42909 bytes)
