4-wheel horse box

Fancy a horse-box for your railway?

Put off by the silly-expensive price?

Look at Hattons - R6728A - £9 (+p+p)

[RB51]

Seems reasonable £9 for the box and £2 for p&p. Am I mis-reading something? R-

I think maybe Eric means that you may have been put off by the RRP of £21.99, hence "silly-expensive"?

 

Mind you, lots of newly tooled wagons seem to be highly detailed these days, hence there has been a hike in prices.  £9 is indeed good value for this wagon.

They are lovely wagons. I have some and got them at a knocked down price a year or so ago.

I bought another one of these last weekend from Hattons @£9 and complimented it with a set of 4 Bachmann horseboxes from TMC at the reduced price of £40.25 a pair. 2x green southern BR and 2x BR Midland red. These are similar to the old Hornby Dublo and Wrenn versions and are very nice.

 Many thanks for the info, Exactly what I was looking for to make up a passenger train so just ordered three.

Trackmaster only made the closed van, the open wagon, and the open wagon with a plastic coal load. Some were made with Hornby Dublo (PECO) couplings, instead of the Trackmaster type coupling.

 

They also made a clockwork locomotive, similar to the Hornby Dublo 0-6-2 tank loco.

 

With cast metal track, that was the Pyramid toys Trackmaster range.

 

Yes, the Trackmaster models were taken into the Tri-ang Railways range, after being modified to take the Tri-ang type coupling.

 

The Tri-ang Railways Horsebox was a long wheelbase model, seemingly based on a GWR design.

 

It was made from the later 1950s until quite recently...

 

But the model being discussed by here is a new model, only a few years old tooling!
