Antics' currently available and on-order specially commissioned wagons in OO gauge. Wagons from the areas around our shops, principally Gloucestershire and the Stroud valleys, have been chosen. This allows a mix of colourful and decorative liveries to be presented, while many of the wagons would have been seen together en-route to and from colleries or destinations. The number produced of any one wagon is quite small, not exceeding 300 with some models only half.
The 2009 programme features several Co-Operative Society wagons, which will use the newest Dapol body with wood chassis! Delivery of these wagons is expected to start in early 2010 when Dapol will be making their newest tooling available for commissioned models.
These societies purchased coal direct from colleries and often supplied their members with the most popular coals at better prices than local coal merchants. The members also received a share of the profits from the business in their annual dividend. Some societies operated a small fleet of wagons, suggesting a coal business of several thousand tons per annum. The Harvey tank wagon is also quite an interesting item.

We welcome suggestions for future models, ideally a photograph is required to allow the livery to be recreated.
