Ancient wagon identification



Time for some detective work. I've been lent this wagon but know very little about it.

The body is wooden, covered with pre-printed sides and solebars. They are flat with no Peco-style embossing and very thin paper.


Built to OO gauge, the underframe parts are hard metal. I'm wondering about ERG - they looks like the sort of parts that came with their kits and I seem to recall were sold separately for scratchbuilders.

Any suggestions in the comments please.

  1. I wonder if it is Merco-Hambling? They had a Gas Light and Coke Co on their sheet of PO wagons, priced at 6d +1dPT in my old W&H catalogue

  3. Wow! Some suitably vintage running gear would be a challenge though. I've probably got some actually...
