This post is an index to the wagons seen in operations on the Shelf Island railway as I am modelling it in June 2012. I get completely muddled by the Continental designations for wagons hence the photos here.

 

The railway has a connection to Network Rail, and the wagons for revenue-creating operations listed here run onto Network Rail metals. The railway also has  wagons of its own for strictly internal use. Some of these take advantage of the railway's larger loading gauge, but hopefully they still look at home in a supposedly British setting. Most of these wagons have their couplers in NEM pockets on close-coupling cams (the exception is the BG). I made this a rule for myself because the cams make trains look so much better and they still get round my radius 2 curves.

 

I will try to keep this list up to date. The main omission at the moment is some kind of open wagon to carry scrap metal away from the vehicle breakers. Other models I want to tackle are a BR courier van (from a Mk1 coach) and a fairly modest flat wagon to carry a road vehicle.

 

Some models have their own posts on my blog and for these, clicking on the thumbnail will take you to the applicable post.
