Description
This SM32 “Calshot Manrider” kit is based on photos of the “Calshot Express” which ferried airmen between Eaglehurt camp and the Calshot airbase on the south coast. Similar wagons could be found on many other railways. It is remarkably small and so a good match for our industrial wagons.
This kit features:
Laser Cut Bodywork
The van body is cut from premium quality poplar plywood which may be painted, stained or simply left bare.
3D Printed Sintered Nylon Detailing
The kit includes several detail parts 3D printed in SLS nylon. These include end stanchions, foot board hinges and stays. They come pre-coloured in a satin “charcoal black” finish.
3D Printed Sintered Nylon Axle Guards
A set of sintered nylon axle guards are provided that are simply screwed onto the sole bars. These provide a very free running wheel bearing without the need for brass bushes. They come pre-coloured in a “carbon black” finish which looks attractive without needing any further painting.
Quality Steel Wheels
20 mm steel disc wheels are included in the kit. These are precision CNC machined with 2mm journals and have insulated bushes in case you use track power.
Pre-formed Roof
A vacuum formed HIPS roof is included with this kit. No need to try and bend plywood into shape !
Available in 32mm gauge only
Paint and glue are not included
