Originally built to deal with timber loads, the Open C design started life in 1907 as Diagram O8. The O19 development was introduced in 1914. The Open C were also one of the first wagons to be designed to use the DC III brakes.
The O19 was produced right through to 1927, making it the longest-produced diagram of the Open C class of wagon. Further similar diagrams of the Open C were produced into the late 1940s. Despite its original designation as a timber wagon, it wasn’t long before the class was recoded. By World War Two they were considered 15T tube vehicles.
The models will feature a wealth of detail, two types of wheels, separately fitted lashing rings and tooling variants to cover both flat-sided and sack truck door versions. The models are also fitted with metal bearings.
