Vehicle carriers

Our vehicle-carrier wagons are based on the ‘Versatile’ etched chassis. They are intended to take diecast cars and vans in 1:43 scale. We rarely offer these diecast loads because they are widely manufactured and readily available. Look for them on eBay, for instance, or in your local model shop.

Wooden chocks are arranged to slide into contact with the load’s wheels. They are held in place by spring-loaded friction pads.

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 (see the PP/Wessex wagon); 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.

 

Price  £20.00 each.
