“...the SAR Legend Lives on...”

SAR Models are for serious adult collectors.

This South African Railways SAR Spoornet three deck sheep wagon represents a specialised livestock transport wagon used for high-capacity sheep movement within South African rail operations. Finished in silver Spoornet-era livery, this distinctive three-deck design was developed to maximise livestock loading efficiency while maintaining ventilation and animal safety during transport.

The wagon type forms part of the later evolution of South African Railways livestock equipment, transitioning into the Spoornet operational period, where branding and rolling stock appearance reflected modernised railway operations. The three-deck configuration allowed for significantly increased sheep transport capacity compared to earlier single or double-deck designs.

Fitted with Kadee couplers, this model ensures reliable operation and compatibility with Kadee-equipped rolling stock across HO scale layouts.
