All kits comprise a bag of load material, such as coal or sand, plus sections of board that are cut to size to fit the desired wagon. The modeller, using a PVA adhesive, secures the materials on the cut boards and places the load inside the wagon for instant effect. The additional benefit, apart from the realism, is that some valuable weight is added to what might otherwise be a very light vehicle. Especially useful in an N scale wagon!

The N scale kits contain enough material for up to 6 wagons. Full instructions are provided in the packs.

Stations often had these Water Cranes at the end of the platforms so the locomotives could be refilled without detaching them from the train. Also included is a coke brazier, called a 'fire devil' to keep the cast iron pipe from freezing up during the winter. These cranes were usually supplied by a large water tank (see Ratio Water Tower kits 215, 256 and Loco Servicing Depot kit 206). Supplied with some pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism; glue is required to complete this model.

A essential feature on steam era main lines for over 100 years; this kit contains parts to make 370mm of troughs and includes relevant signboards. Use in conjunction with the Large Water Tower (Ref 256). Glue and paints are required to complete this model.

Many goods yards had weigh bridges so that the 'carriage price' of a load to be carried by rail could be costed. Goods were then loaded into the goods shed. Kit includes guttering, brass etched scales and weighing plate, barge boards, window and door; glue and paints required to complete this model. Footprint: 30mm x 15mm.

Private owner wagons abounded prior to nationalisation, they would often be seen far from their base as they were sent to collect raw materials and supplies such as coal, and deliver finished goods. All Peco wagons feature free running wheels in pin point axles. The ELC coupling, whilst compatible with the standard N gauge couplings, keeps a realistic distance between vehicles and enables the PL-25 electro magnetic decoupler to be used for remote uncoupling.

If you are a scratchbuilder or want to modify one of our N Gauge kits, this is range for you. Ratio's Builder range has been extended here to include all accessory packs from the Trackside range that you can use to this end. The Builder Series Material Sheet packs contain 4 sheets each 90mm x 75mm

Storage area with coal sacks some already filled. Approx 57mm long, 18mm wide and 14mm high. The Harburn Hamlet range of painted resin accessories provide interesting scenic details for your layout.

PECO Streamline N Gauge Code 55 - Universal Fine trackage system
Despite a low visible rail height of just 1.4mm, all brands of N Gauge model locomotives will run on this track.
The ingenious rail section of PECO 55 combines strength and durability with a highly realistic appearance and uses the same universal rail joiners as Code 80: the geometry of this range has been cleverly designed to make it easy to build convenient, complex and aesthetically pleasing formations. For more details on Electrofrog turnouts, see our Wiring the Layout publications Nos 4 and 21.

PECO Streamline N Gauge Code 80 - Universal trackage system
This ever-popular trackage system for N offers a choice of either wooden or concrete type sleeper flexible track and a wide range of turnouts and crossings in both Insulfrog and Electrofrog types.
Suitable for all makes of N Gauge trains and fully compatible with PECO Setrack. Two of these Y turnouts and an SL-394 Long Crossing will form a double junction.

This basic crane is an essential for all station yards, often found inside goods sheds or on loading banks. Used to lift loads up to 1 ton, the boom can be swung round on its base to transfer goods from road to rail vehicles. Supplied with some pre-coloured parts, painting and/or weathering can add realism; glue is required to complete this model. Base Diameter: 25mm

Swiss railways have a special attraction for many enthusiasts, even if they do not model continental railways. The intense network of lines, volume of traffic, and seemingly endless variety of companies and liveries complements the incredibly attractive Alpine scenery so often associated with the railways of this land-locked country.

Comprising 124 perfect-bound pages, this softback book has a wide selection of articles, featuring layouts, modelling articles and prototype inspiration. Metre gauge railways are a well known feature of this country, so the articles on the routes of the MIB, Furka Oberalp and Rhatische Bahn will come as no surprise!
