As a foretaste, above is a four-wheel two-barrel wagon. This is a development/ pre-production item. The rivet-heads and empty holes are evidence of re-work to resemble the production version. It is nevertheless an attractive item.This one is made up as a ‘match truck’ with our Hornby auto compatible coupling at one end and near-universal drop-link at the other - but the choice is yours.

Five are available now at a clearance price of £25.00 each plus postage.

The range will include -

4-wheel, single barrel with brakeman’s cabin      £ 35.00

4-wheel, two barrels  (like above)                          £ 35.00

Bogie, three barrels                                                 £ 40.00

Bogie, three barrel with brakeman’s cabin            £ 45.00

Here is a photo ‘inside the factory’ - at last our bogies find themselves attached to our own products!

Please note - applies to all products where relevant.

Chassis are sprayed with an acrylic paint and baked to give a good durable finish. The barrels are air-dried.

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.

Replica plastic Hornby wheels (Metcalfe) are fitted as standard. You can opt for replica tinplate wheels (by Tony Funnell) - add £2.00 per 4-wheel wagon, £4.00 per bogie wagon.
