Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds, or GKN as it was later more commonly known, was formed in the early 1900s by the amalgamation of Patent Nut & Bolt, Dowlais Iron Company, Guest & Co. and Nettlefolds Limited. They operated a very large fleet of wagons, including examples of this purple-brown with yellow band 7-plank coal wagon. Built by The Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company, Peco are pleased to draw your attention to the reproduction of this company's distinctive builders plates on the sole-bar, a first for PECO.
