just in time for Christmas! These wagons are the latest product of the cooperation between the General Steam Navigation Locomotive Restoration Society, based at Blunsdon on the Swindon and Cricklade Railway, and the Medway Queen Preservation Society. The two societies have commissioned this joint batch of 00 models from Dapol and sales will help the restoration of locomotive 35011, General Steam Navigation, and of PS Medway Queen. Each society sells the wagons to support its work. The wagon design fits the MQPS theme of fictional wagons that might have been seen at Gillingham pier if there had been a rail connection, but at the same time is also very relevant to the General Steam Navigation Locomotive Restoration Society. As usual the wagons have been produced in two colours, grey and red, and carry the running number 4 - for the fourth 00 wagon in this joint venture. Initially they are available by mail order from Medway Queen - West but will be sold in the Medway Queen Visitor Centre when it re-opens in the New Year.
