 | Dark red body, white lettering, shaded black. Suitable:GWR, other Cornish lines Authentic In the first half of the 20th century, Betty & Tom operated a lead mine close to Menheniot, almost certainly the Clicker Tor Quarry adjacent to the GWR mainline at Menheniot station. The lead ore was known as Galena and had some traces of silver, arsenic and many other minerals. Sidings from the GWR main line at Menheniot were laid in 1930. The business diversified into the large scale production of railway ballast and concrete blocks. From a photo. Low Stock £13.50 each. |
 | dark grey body, white lettering, shaded red. Suitable: GWR, other Cornish lines, private ChinaClay sidings Authentic Joseph Treffry owned the Fowey Consol mines and wanted a harbour to export copper and import coal. Between 1829 and 1840 he built Par Docks. In early years substantial quantities of Cornish granite were shipped. Later in the 19th century it became a focal point for the export of china clay. The Treffry estate sold the whole operation to English China Clay (ECC) in 1964. From a photo. Low Stock £13.50 each. |
 | Medium grey body, White lettering, shaded black. Suitable: B&E Rly, GWR, LSWR, others Authentic William Turner moved to Chard in the 1840’s and dealt in corn, seed and coal, with premises at Fulham Wharf (Chard Canal) and Fore Street, Chard. With the opening of the two branch lines to Chard (GWR from Taunton, LSWR from Chard Junction) in 1866, his son, Edward Turner, developed the railway-based business. Subsequently his eldest son established the firm as William Edward Turner & Co. Evidence suggests W.E. Turner had at least four wagons. From a photo. Low Stock £13.00 each. |
 | Chocolate Brown body, white lettering shaded black, Suitable: GWR, LSWR, SR, others Authentic William Jewell entered the coal trade with seemingly no previous connection to the industry. Born in Dawlish in 1873 he worked as a lath renderer and mason’s labourer before changing occupation. By 1904 he was trading in coal from Queen Street Station, Exeter (today Exeter Central). He purchased two 8-ton wagons from Gloucester RC&WCo., both registered by the GWR. In 1911 William was living with his family in Tudor Street, Exeter, described as a coal merchant and employer. In that year he renewed the repair contracts on both wagons for a further 7 years. William may have died in 1914. The business subsequently appears to have been sold, possibly to a larger Exeter merchant such as Varwell Guest & Co. who may have helped him previously. From a photo. £13.00 each. |
