Collectors of the special limited edition coal wagons commissioned by Middy Trading Company (the fund-raising arm of the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum) will be eager to learn that the eighth wagon in the series is now available.
As before, the wagon has been specially produced by Dapol Ltd for the Middy Trading Company. The livery is based on that of a 4-plank coal wagon owned by WILLIAM H. BOOTH, coal merchant and factor, of IPSWICH, Suffolk, who had premises at Princes Street, Ipswich. Booth later had a coal depot at Ipswich Lower Yard, and supplied coal to stations in the Ipswich and Mid-Suffolk area from 1909 until the late 1920s.
Livery is Red Oxide, with matt black end irons.
AVAILABLE NOW!
'William H Booth',
Ipswich coal merchant.
A batch of exactly 200 of this design has been made and we guarantee no more will be released by us. Our wagons depict those which could have run on the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway between Haughley and Laxfield, as well as elsewhere in East Anglia.
Each wagon is provided with a numbered certificate, with the above details printed on the other side. There is also a facsimile of a Booth advert as it appeared in contemporary newspapers and magazines.
This Limited Edition wagon is priced at £8.00. If you would like a wagon, please send a cheque to the above address, payable to ‘Middy Trading Company’.
Postal rates increased in April 2008, and is now £1.45 for 1, 2 or 3 wagons. The cost including postage/packing is therefore: One £9.45; Two £17.45; Three £25.45.
