Details

Bring authentic early 20th-century freight operations to your layout with the all-new NER P7 Coal Hopper from Graham Farish, now available in N scale. Also known as the LNER Diagram 12, this highly detailed model represents one of the most significant wagon designs in British railway history.

First introduced by the North Eastern Railway, the P7 was a game-changer for coal transport. With over 17,000 wagons built by the 1923 Grouping, these 20-ton wooden hoppers replaced outdated Chaldron wagons, offering a sevenfold increase in load capacity. Their impact on the coal industry was transformative, streamlining bulk mineral transport across the North East and beyond.

Though eventually superseded by steel-bodied mineral wagons, many P7s and Diagram 12s continued in private industrial use for decades. Now, thanks to Graham Farish’s precision tooling and fine detailing, you can relive this crucial era of freight rail on your N gauge layout.

Perfect for modellers of NER, LNER, and early BR periods, this wagon is an essential addition to any historically accurate goods train. Explore the full range of N scale rolling stock to complete your layout with realism and heritage.
