< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
While not a standard design, most 7 Plank wagons followed the same build criteria with drop sides to transport general merchandise. The 7 Plank Open Wagon, along with similar 3 and 5 plank versions, is a stalwart for locomotion. Exposed, easy to load, and pleasant in its simplicity, the open wagon was an essential part of the early days of the railway network, before roads had the capacity for freight that they have come to in the modern day. Plank wagons were owned by their respective companies, not leased from the operator as would become normal and as such early trains would be made up of an eclectic mix of colourful sign written wagons.

The vent van was a small multipurpose goods van which would transport all manner of items whilst keeping them protected from the wind and rain. The wagon design features a single vent on each end of the structure allowing air to flow thereby maintaining a cooler air temperature, beneficial for the transportation of perishable food items. Closed vans would often be loaded with all manner of miscellany such as flour, meat, parcels or perhaps scale models.

12T Tank Wagon "Fisons Sulphuric Acid" No. 31/3 (TT6010)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The tank wagon was the main method of transporting liquid cargo in the early days of the railway. Instead of loading liquids into drums or barrels and then having to load these on and off of closed or open vans at each side of a journey, the tank wagon could be filled with the fluid of choice of the operator and then emptied at the other end. This would also increase the carrying capacity of each wagon, as a wagon with a 12 tonne weight limit could carry more fluid if it did not have to factor in the weight of many barrels on top of their contents. This type of tank wagon was more commonly seen hauling hazardous liquid chemicals, with different designs existing for milk and other such cargo.

LNER Dia.034 Toad B Brake Van (TT6011)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
In the days of the railways when long trains of cargo would be assembled almost ad hoc, it was not practical to hook up brake lines on every wagon. With the need to drop of cargo at many different locations and sometimes in an order requiring some shunting it would not have been practical to disconnect and reconnect brake lines all the time, assuming that this would even be possible across the myriad of different wagon manufacturers of the day. Such trains were referred to as ‘unfitted’.
The logical solution would be to have a dedicated vehicle specifically for the purpose of slowing and stopping the train. A guard would be stationed in the van, often with a small log burner for heat, and would apply strong brakes by means of a wheel internally. When accompanying the locomotive brakes this would bring the train to a controlled stop. On longer, heavier trains there would often be a second brake van immediately after the locomotive to aid the braking force at the front of the train.

BR Railfreight HAA Hopper "351134" (TT6013)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
Built from 1964 to 1977, HAA wagons were built as method to move coal more efficiently, particularly with the aim of improving to supply of coal to power stations. It was intended that trains of these wagons could run in a continuous loop from the colliery to the power station and back, with machinery in place to allow loading and unloading at slow speeds. In reality it was often the case that the infrastructure to allow this type of running did not exist, particularly at the collieries and on the loading side of the journey, but nonetheless these wagons greatly improved coal transfer. With the decline of Britain's coal industry these previously extremely common wagons have now become extremely rare with most having been either scrapped or rebuilt as another form of wagon.

21T Mineral Wagon "B312249" (TT6015)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The 21 tonne mineral wagon served an essential purpose in the early stages of British Railways control over the new national railway network. These wagons were essentially coal wagons, the logical evolution of the old 3 – 7 plank wagon designs of the grouping era. These wagons were use for industrial scale coal transportation, with long trains of these being one of the only ways of transporting coal from the coalfields in the quantities required to keep the British steam train fleet running.
These wagons were of all steel construction with common yet uprated leaf springs to accommodate the load weight these would commonly haul. These wagons were fitted with side doors, to aid in the ease and speed of unloading the cargo.
