NEW KIT OUT NOW: C81 LNER 6 plank Open (wood underframe)

The C86 LMS 6/8ton Meat Van, C87 6ton Fish Van, and C92 LMS 12ton Ventilated Van can be ordered now.
The C82 BR Rail Wagon - STURGEON will be available in 2010. There is a prototype picture here.
Kit C7 SR Brake Van is being modified to give it correct depth solebars/headstocks. As a by-product of this, it will be possible to make underframe mouldings for the SR 15 ton Brake Van, this will be Kit C95, available in June (See it at the Chatham Show).
Pictured below is our 17' 6" over headstocks, 10' 0" wheelbase underframe. The floor and solebars/axleguards are moulded in one piece, a rolling chassis takes about a minute — just press in bearings and fit the wheels. This moulding is used in kit C84 MR D664 12ton Van, and will be available later as C91 10' wb Underframe kit (Morton brake type/RCH axleboxes) and C93 LMS One Plank Open. Kit C79 LSWR Open will have a similar underframe.

About our kits:

These are plastic kits which include underframes etc. & bogies (where needed). You will need wheels/bearings, transfers, couplings & paint to complete our kits. Most kits have mounting blocks for Hornby metal couplings, some newer ones (C48, C66, C77, C78, C84) have blocks suitable for Bachmann Mini couplings. Bogies can be fitted with either Hornby or Bachmann couplings.
TBA in the price column = "To Be Announced". These kits are not yet available, and kits with "Cxx" instead of a number are further down in production order.

Transfers are available in the Modelmasters', Cambridge, Scalemodeltransfers and HMRS ranges. Transfers for PO wagons are available from POWsides. Suitable paint colours are in the Precision Paint range — kit instructions give reference numbers. The Railmatch range also includes similar colours but these are not currently indicated in our instructions.

Wheels:

We recommend Alan Gibson or Romford (Jackson) wheels. Avoid "RTR" types such as Hornby or Bachmann as these may be larger than the kit is designed for — this could make fitting couplings difficult, particularly on shorter wagons; also the axle length may also be shorter than the recommended makes' standard axles (26mm).

◊ We now have stocks of Alan Gibson wheels and bearings (16.5mm/OO gauge). See bottom of page.

The wheel type required is listed to the right of the kit prices below. More than one code letter (e.g. S/D)indicates that a different wheel type was fitted later in the wagons' life.

ALAN GIBSON WHEELS (16·5mm/OO gauge) :

£2.80 for 2 axles & 4 bearings, or £5.60 for 4 axles & 8 bearings (Bogie wagons / GWR Crane)

NOTE: BR wagons with "A" as the third letter of the TOPS code, e.g. BAA, generally have/had disc brake wheels. There are discs to fit onto 3-hole wheels in most kits where needed, alternatively disc brake wheels are in the Romford range (not stocked by us).
Walrus and Whale hoppers are likely to have had plain disc wheels (not stocked by us).
The GWR Crane and Match truck requires two axles S and two axles T.
Types are shown for the sort of wheels fitted when built, but may have been replaced later, e.g. "Open" spoked by spoked, and spoked by 3-hole. More than one letter, e.g. S/D, indicates the order in which the types of wheels were used on the wagon.
Very occasionally, open spoked wheels were used as a replacement, possibly because they were the only ones available that fitted the axlebox journals (bearing diameter/length).

Types available (Letter as shown above after kit price):

• S - G4O00 12mm 8 spoked
• O - G4O01 12mm "Open" spoked,
• D - G4O02 12mm 3-hole
• T - G4O06 12mm 10 spoked
• L - G4O07 10·5mm Lowmac
