NCB ex-BR 16 ton Steel Bodied Mineral Wagon NCB Internal User Black

Once common on the post-war British Railway network, these 4-wheel vans carried a wide variety of goods throughout the system. No longer in service they remain an iconic wagon type so typical of the railway scene from the 1950s to the 1980s and modellers will find a home for several on their layouts.
Model finished in National Coal Board black livery as an NCB colliery internal user wagon. Collieries often had a small fleet of wagons for internal use, especially where a coking plant was nearby, so much of the coal wound was finally dispatched as coke.
