393-178 RNAD Flat Wagon with 3-Plank Ends RNAD Dean Hill
Royal Navy Armaments Depots (RNAD) were strategic sites located around the UK for the storage and supply of armaments to the Royal Navy and other British and Commonwealth Armed Forces. Usually comprising several underground ‘magazines’, they were often rail served by the national network and many had internal narrow gauge railway systems in order to aid movements between the standard gauge facility, magazines and workshops. The railways were equipped with their own fleets of locomotives and rolling stock designed specifically for the task in hand. Although some of the railways operated as recently as the early-21st century, as closures occurred stock became redundant however a significant number of items have subsequently entered preservation gaining a new lease of life. This Flat Wagon depicts a wagon in use at RNAD Dean Hill and is the first time this type of wagon has been modelled by Bachmann Narrow Gauge with 3-plank ends.
