The resulting industry made Cornwall the pre-eminent global source of china clay and as railways were established, they were used to transport the material both locally and further afield, to destinations where the material was required, like the Staffordshire potteries.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe GWR, and subsequently BR, built open wagons like those depicted by these Bachmann Branchline models specifically for china clay traffic. With a 9ft wheelbase and 12T capacity, the wooden planked body sat on top of a metal underframe and our model reflects this, with fine detailing engraved and moulded onto the body. The chassis meanwhile incorporates brake gear and sports tie-bars between the axleboxes. Decorated to the same high standard as any Bachmann Branchline product, each model also includes a representation of the tarpaulin cover that was fitted to the wagons to protect the valuable china clay load. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEra 4\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePristine BR Bauxite (Early) livery\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRunning Nos.
