Description
This model is based on one of the various one-ton iron bodied mineral wagons used by the Corris Railway in mid-wales. These wagons were unusual in having wooden underframes but iron bodywork. The Corris railway was acquired by the Great Western railway in 1929 so this wagon is probably the smallest wagon type operated by the GWR.
3D printed riveted body strapping
These are produced by “Selective Laser Sintering” in an engineering grade nylon and many customers have assumed that they’re castings rather than 3D printed. The parts come pre-coloured in “charcoal black” and provide an attractive and rugged addition to the model. Fitting is easy as the row of bolts push through a matching row of holes in the body to provide positive location and matching bolts on each side of the body panel.
Brake gear
This kit features SLS nylon brake lever, brake shoes and lever arms.
Laser cut body parts
The body parts are cut from styrene plastic sheet which is easy to glue and paint. Sheet edges and rivet heads are engraved on wagon floors so the wagon looks good even if you choose not to add a suitable wagon load.
Choice of nylon couplers
The mark two version of this kit introduces the same choice of couplings as included in our Talyllyn Railway wagon kits. You can either assemble the wagon with side “dumb buffers” and a central hook for a 3 link chain or if you prefer a centre buffer (for greater compatibility with the rest of your stock) , a pair of Penrhyn style wagon buffers are also included.
Available in 32mm (O) gauge only.
