SAR W Wagon - HO

SAR W Wagon – HO Scale Broad Gauge Kit

Prototype background:
The SAR W wagon was a versatile general freight wagon operated by the South Australian Railways (SAR) and later by Australian National (AN). Used across the state’s broad gauge network, these wagons were a common sight in mixed goods trains, hauling everything from agricultural produce to general merchandise. They were an essential part of the freight operations that kept South Australia moving.
