Container wagons

We have made containers for many years, and wagons with pockets to locate them. We are in the process of establishing a new range, outlined below. In the meantime our long-established ‘Simmers’ and ‘Brodies’ containers remain available. These are 14 - foot type B containers, which never carried these liveries so they join the ranks of the many ‘Neverwassas’ in circulation.

We also have a very few of the excellent Doswell wraps remaining, to sell as made-up containers. Please enquire

Our new range will include wagons based on our etched chassis to accommodate 14-foot, 16-foot and 7-foot containers.

We expect to have containers in new liveries and the new sizes ready in Summer 2024

Prices -

14 foot           - £20.00    16 foot            - £20.00

Single 7 foot  - £20.00    Double 7 foot - £22.50

Please note - applies to all products where relevant.

Chassis are spray-painted with a black acrylic and baked to give a good durable finish.

At the price quoted for all our RTR you can specify drop-link couplings or Hornby-compatible auto-couplings of our own design (seen above); replica Mãrklin autos; or our version of the JeP ‘symmetrical’ auto. Drop-link couplings can be fiddly but have a degree of compatibility otherwise lacking between rival makes.

Stainless steel levers (in imitation of Hornby type 50) are fitted, or on request can be supplied loose for buyer to paint. We no longer offer blackened levers.

You can specify replica tinplate wheels (by Tony Funnell) - add £2.00 per 4-wheel wagon, £4.00 per pair of bogies.
