Weight

38 / 39 g (NEM: 37 to 48 g or 40 to 52 g depending on length)

Comments

The SGTL wagons are a bit bare without braking, for the same price as the others. According to the picture provided by REE, the SEWAR wagon should have spoke wheels.

The COOP and Adams wagons have a brake linkage. Wagons No. 060 and 969 have a brake gangway and therefore have an extended chassis.

⌀ 12 mm wheels, OK. 0.8 mm flanges.

See the Loco-Revue Forum.

Modifications

For Adams wagons: wheels, brake linkage and blocks, buffers, and steps painted. A half-broken step is repaired.

History

Wagons built according to the plans of the Office Central d’Études de Matériel de chemin de fer (OCEM) (Central Office for Railway Stock Studies) from 1929, on a 4.50 m wheelbase chassis. For the OCEM 19 type, this wheelbase was only 3.75 m. It turns out that the wine tanks were rather mounted on short-wheelbase chassis (so, OCEM 19), to facilitate their turning on the small turntables very numerous at that time among vintners, to the detriment of running stability.
