Product Description
TheWantage Tramway was a standard-guage light railway which connected the town of Wantage, Oxfordshire to the Great Western Railway at its Wantage Road Station (2 miles away) from 1875-1945. Initially horse-drawn, the Wantage Tramway Company eventually acquired 7 steam locomotives and a variety of coaches to carry passengers to and from the town. Standard wagons were used to transport goods traffic.
WTC No.7, known as 'Mary', was a Manning-Wardle Class F 0-4-0 locomotive built in 1888, bought by the Wantage tramway in 1893 and sold upon closure of the line in 1946. It was eventually scrapped in 1964.
NOTES
This bodyshell is designed to fit an unpowered Kato 10-500 Pocket LIne 0-4-0 'Chibi' steam locomotive chassis. Kato supply a powered coach to propel this.
The Kato loco can be disassembled by undoing the two screws under the chassis.
The bodyshell should simply fit onto the Kato footplate but some careful filing might be required.
Reassemble cautiously using the original bolts. The screw holes should be checked for size and filed out if too tight to prevent the boiler cracking.
Powered and unpowered Wantage Tramway coach models are also available.
