| > OO Coaches & Wagons > Antics Special Edition Wagons | All of our currently available and on-order specially commissioned wagons in OO gauge are listed here. We choose wagons from the areas around our shops, principally Gloucestershire and the Stroud valleys. This allows a mix of colourful and decorative liveries to be presented, whole many of the wagons would have been seen together en-route to and from colleries.
The 2009 programme will feature several wagons operated by Co-Operative societies, these societies were able to purchase coal direct from colleries and often supply their members with the most popular coals at better prices than local coal merchants. The memebrs 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.
We welcome suggestions for future models, ideally a photograph is required to allow the livery to be recreated. | Dapol OO W W Milton Montpelier, Bristol 7-Plank Open Coal Wagon Chocolate Brown (ANT026A)
When WW Milton wagon number 6 was photographed in January 1910 it was painted lead grey, however by September 1911 the companys' new wagons were being painted chocolate brown. Wagon number 6 has been modelled in the revised brown livery as a variation to our special edition model in the grey livery.
W W Milton distributed coal from Montpelier railway station in Bristol, on the GWR/LMS joint line to Avonmouth. The company used a monogram logo on the side door of his wagon, combining the letters W and M.
Wagon number 6 is also available in the as-delivered lead grey livery.
