A photo surfaced of the three pack of slate wagons. As suspected, this is the same tooling from the Thomas range. The slate loads are two part and the wagon bodies metal. They hopefully should arrive sooner than the Hunslet as the tooling already exists for these.

As has been mentioned before if the slates were loaded like that they would all be smashed during the journey.
Slates need to be packed tight vertically in the wagons it is no good leaving them leaning at an angle.
They are also quite obviously Talyllyn slate wagons and very different to the Dinorwic or Penrhyn slate wagons.
