Railway Wagons - N Gauge​

Although the New Medway Steam Packet Co. did not have its own private owner wagons it is entirely believable that a steam ship operator would run such wagons to carry coal and other commodities. The "wagon project" began in 2003 with the aim of making that same provision in the popular model railway scales; allowing you to have something a bit different on the layout whilst promoting and supporting the preservation of PS Medway Queen.

NEW DUNKIRK COMMEMORATIVE MODELS

​Based on Dapol GPVs, these N gauge models commemorate Medway Queen’s part in the Dunkirk Evacuation of 1940. In May-June 1940 HMS Medway Queen made seven round trips to Dunkirk rescuing thousands of British and allied troops. 
 
The models are a departure from the usual “Gillingham Pier” theme and feature Ramsgate where Medway Queen landed her evacuee passengers on six of her seven trips. They are available printed in white over two background colours, as usual; in this instance, dark brown and grey. We have held the price per model at £11.90 each (£23.80 for a pair).

The Light Brigade only charged the guns once – HMS Medway Queen’s crew did it seven times!
​And The Light Brigade didn’t have to contend with Stuka dive bombers!

Some previous releases are shown below. These models have all sold out

Over the years the “wagon project“ has raised thousands of pounds towards the restoration costs. In 2007 alone, two batches of 00 wagons and one for N raised about £1400 profit, which was worth £5600 when seen as partnership funding for the HLF grant. Previous issues have sold out very quickly so if you are interested in obtaining any of these models don’t delay!!
