We announce our first Exclusive TT:120 Gauge seven plank open wagon in the livery of Franks and Co of Guildford, numbered 12.

Franks and Co were a coal, gravel and salt merchants based in Bridge Street, close to Guildford station and had a number of their own private owner wagons in this livery of white lettering on black.

The Kernow Model Rail Centre first Exclusive model in TT:120 Gauge is being produced for KMRC by PECO Ltd. The model is based on their standard RCH1923 9ft wheel base seven plank open wagon with fine plastic moulding with thinner wagon body walls for accuracy, interior detail, separately fitted brake lever, brake shoes in line with the free-running metal-tyred spoked wheels. A standard (removable NEM355) TT:120 coupler is fitted compatible with other TT:120 rolling stock on the market.



The Exclusive model TTC009 Peco 7 Plank Open Wagon – No.12, Franks and Co Guildford is priced at £21.99 and is available in stock now online and from both Kernow Model Rail Centre branches.
