Those attending the Warley Show at the NEC later this year will have the opportunity of purchasing a special 00 gauge limited edition wagon, but only if you visit the stand of Model Rail magazine. Model Rail has commissioned a limited run of 500 Conflat A wagons in BR livery with the container in the colours of the Isle of Man's Man-Tainor company. The Isle of Man did have its own 3ft narrow gauge railway and this is the container used on that system, or for standard gauge and road transport. Any of these wagons that remain with Model Rail after the Warley Show will be advertised and sold through the magazine itself. This unique wagon probably won't get the chance to be sold off in the magazine!

Happy modelling

Sorry to be thick but what gauge will this be?

I usually look at the couplings but it ain't so clear!

(I'm hoping for 'N!!!')

Best wishes

Hi Jules

Thank you for the comment.

No you are not thick! I am!

I have edited the story.

Bad news I am afraid.

As Basil Fawlty would say "Typical! Just Typical!"

Happy modelling

That means i need to take some more money with me to Warley then this year to get one of those trucks. ( * Goes and finds a Part time uni job * )

I saw one of the preproduction ones on display at STEAM a few weeks ago with the brake van, and i can definatly saw they will be worth getting.
