Wagon Kits

Almost all of our wagon kits have professionally made one-piece resin mouldings for the body, solebars and headstocks, made from hand made patterns. A couple of kits have wooden bodies made for us by Tony Riley using slitting saws on a lathe (not laser cut). All of the kits have laser cut steel W irons, cast brass coupling hooks, axleboxes, cast whitemetal (a pewter) buffer guides with turned steel buffer heads, whitemetal leaf springs (working hidden coil springs), laser cut steel brake levers, whitemetal brakegear, etched brass details and Slaters steeltyred wheels. They are thus comprehensive and detailed kits which are very easy to assemble.

Gauge 3 models are large and we cannot hold large numbers of every kit in stock all the time. We do sometimes sell out and then wait for a while before re-stocking. If a kit is not on the shelf we will give you some idea of the likely lead time and let you know when it is available again.

 

Each kit includes a one-piece cast resin body which enables full detail to be included, yet assembly is very straightforward using only hand tools. A soldering iron is recommended, but not essential.

 

Each kit has been fully researched and made using official works drawings and several photographs. A comprehensive set of instructions is included. Underframe detail includes brake gear (working in some cases) and bolt detail etc.
