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.
