In 1887 the Railway Clearing House (RCH) issued its first set of specifications, which although not mandatory, did set down certain dimensional and other requirements in the construction of private owner wagons. The top photo shows an O Gauge wagon built to these specifications that a model 6 plank open wagon, side, and end door, represents. The Parkend Deep Navigation Collieries Company Ltd. was incorporated in 1892 with a capital of £100,000 in £10 shares. 5,000 shares were used to purchase the Parkend & New Fancy Collieries Co. Ltd., the Rising Sun, and the Union Colliery. The model wagon is based on one in a group of 50 ordered in December 1892, the first of which were ready for delivery in January 1893. Payment for these wagons was to be paid over 7 years. The running numbers for these wagons were numbers 249-309. The body of the wagon is painted black with white lettering shaded red. The second photo shows a smaller OO Gauge Dean Forest Coal Company model.
