Information
Features

Rapido Trains UK is to add some of the railway's unsung heroes to its range of OO gauge wagons: five- and seven-plank open wagons to the Railway Clearing House's 1907 standards. The Railway Clearing House was formed in 1842 and would go on to manage the flow of wagons between railway companies, standardise mileage rates and even provided neutral ground for railway managers to meet. It issued a set of standards for goods wagon design in 1907, which were used by railway companies and wagon builders alike.

Many thousands of private owner wagons were built to the RCH standards (which were revised in 1923) and many lasted until BR started to phase out wooden-bodied wagons in the 1960s. Those in industrial service continued to earn their keep until much later.
