Description
The Trefor flat wagon model kit is loosely based on two foot gauge wagons used by the Trefor Quarries (formerly “Trevor”) in the Lleyn Peninsula of North Wales to transport large granite blocks to and from the cutting sheds. These flat wagons were converted from breaker wagons by the removal of the side (and occasionally an end). No one knows exactly how many of these wagons were converted because the quarry records still listed these flat wagons as breaker wagons.
The quarry was rail operated between 1850 and 1962 and a number of locomotives were used including De-Wintons and latterly Hunslet diesels. So there are plenty of modelling possibilities.
