A new special edition wagon expected early December 2008.

A new addition to our Stroud valleys range this wagon is painted and lettered in an attractive style John Rogers & Sons, coal merchants at Nailsworth Glos.
John Rogers appears to have taken over the business of Cecil Thompson, who in turn had taken over from Henry Heaven whose wagon we have previously produced. Wagon number 3 was bought new on a 7-year agreement and photographed at the Gloucester RCW works in October 1913.

In the mid-1920s a new partnership was formed of Rogers & Dennis Ltd. of Nailsworth. It appears that Dennis' business was the supply of fertillizer, lawn sand and lime, expanding on the coal business run by John Rogers and the partnership continued to trade at least into 1939. We are seeking information and a photograph of the railway wagons in Rogers & Dennis livery, please contact us if you can help!
