Plank Trucks

   CGI Series= |-|Model Series=  Plank wagons

Plank wagons are open-topped wood wagons used to transport goods. Some particular ones may often be Troublesome Trucks if they have faces.

Usage
Trucks are mostly utilised for the transportation of quarry rock and coal. Due to their ubiquitous nature on the railway, they have been employed for carrying a variety of other materials, such as wood, sand, china clay, bricks and even debris after large storms. From the eighth season until the sixteenth season, they have been known to transport specific goods which would be better suited for closed wagons; some of these goods include books, cocoa powder, sugar, presents and raw fish. Since the seventeenth season, they carried these goods such as fish in closed crates.

Basis
The plank wagons are mostly 7 plank and 8 plank end door open wagons.

Livery
The wagons are traditionally painted either dark grey, dark green, or brown with black frames, although in recent years, they have also appeared in red, green, blue, pink and many other colours. Privately-owned trucks typically have their own specific livery.
