Description

This 7/8 scale kit  is based on our 16mm scale freelance model of a Permanent Way Department wagon. The kit is based on a photo found in an old magazine. However the wagon could be used for any load that needs to be kept dry (e.g. they bear a striking resemblance to “Saxa Salt” wagons). It is also suitable location for radio control gear and batteries when permanently coupled to a small locomotive.

The permanent way department tool wagon incorporates several features that distinguish it from others on the market.

3D Printed Sintered Nylon Axle Boxes

A set of sintered nylon axle boxes are provided that simply clip into the under frame. 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.

Other kit features include

  • Choice of 32mm or 45mm gauges
  • Steel wheels
  • Printed nylon brake lever
  • Opening roofs
  • Laser cut plywood body

The kit includes a centre dumb buffer (with hook) set at 30mm above rail head, height. A pair of suitably placed holes is also provided if the customer prefers to replace these with extra large bell mouth couplings (not provided).

Paint and glue are not included
