Dapol OO T Butt Stroud No.2 7-Plank Open Coal Wagon Antics Special Edition (ANT028A)

Antics Special Edition Model. Expected Autumn 2008

Specially commissioned from Dapol, this 7-plank open wagon is a model of T Butt & Sons wagon number 2.

This well-known Stroud firm remained has had a long association with the building trades in Gloucestershire, trading as builders merchants until 2007. Our models of their wagons have followed this theme and wagon number 2 is planned to carry a load of bricks, complementing the timber load supplied with our 2007 release of wagon number 3.

Records indicate that the company operated up to seven wagons, both owned and leased, for many years. The Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company photographic records contain an image of number 2, indicating that this was delivered in November 1911. T Butt & Sons' business is described on the sides as coal, salt and builders merchants.

Many merchants operated a diverse business, this helped keep the company and its' wagons busy year round, filling in the seasonal low summer demand for coal with the increased demand for building materials and agricultral supplies.
