NEW EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION WAGONS
Following on from the success of our Carr & Co. biscuit manufacturers van, we have commissioned a further van from the same group of companies. This time it is the Carr & Co. flour mills at Silloth. This time, we have had made a pristine version, as well as a weathered version, the weathering being done in white to reflect the colour of flour powder.
Both wagons are now available from stock. Price is £13.75 for the unweathered van, £14.75 for the weathered version. Orders can be placed online

Our other exclusive edition is the “Keswick Co-operative Society Limited” 7-plank open wagon. With acknowledgement to the Cumbria Railways Association for providing the photograph of the prototype, this wagon is very much associated with the heart of the Lake District.
