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 the one depicted by this Graham Farish model 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, along with metal door bangers and turned metal buffers. This triple-pack of wagons is finished in BR Bauxite livery, and each model comes complete with spoked metal wheels and NEM coupling pockets. The three models are also supplied with tarpaulin covers, as used on the real wagons to protect the valuable china clay cargo from the elements.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGraham Farish N Scale\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEra 5\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePristine BR Bauxite (Early) livery\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRunning Nos.
