Transfers (Waterslide) GWR/BR from Kits PS30-32)

Kit and Scratch builder's accessory. Pack contains 2 pairs of couplings. Three-link chain couplings, with no means of drawing the wagons together, were used to form the peculiarly British "loose coupled" freight train: since such trains were not fitted with an automatic through-train braking system there were no pipes to connect between the vehicles. Control of the train was assisted by the guard's van at the rear of the train, or in certain cases a series of vans spaced along the train, which kept the couplings taut and therefore also helped prevent snapped couplings. Such trains travelled at low speeds and were finally phased out in the 1970s.

Kit and Scratch builder's accessory. Pack contains sufficient parts for 2 pairs of Couplings. The "Instanter" coupling is a development of the standard 3 link coupling. The middle link of the chain is specially shaped so that when lying flat it provides enough slack to make coupling possible, but when this middle link is rotated 90 degrees the length of the chain is effectively shortened, reducing the amount of slack to provide closer coupling, to allow the use of train brake pipes without the need to wind a screw. It can also be coupled from the side of the wagons using a shunter's pole; much safer than having to go between vehicles when coupling them together.

BR 12 ton Pipe Wagon Transfers: 1950s and 1960s/70s periods (from Kit PS17)

This is a well-known vehicle, derived from the final LNER Fish van design. BR built 1,000 of them. After fish traffic ended they were converted to Parcels Vans (SPV) and lasted into the 1980s. The kit allows both oil and roller bearing axle box versions to be built. Transfers for BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

These wagons were designed to carry heavy cast iron or steel pipes for water and drainage works. This kit represents one of 350 built in 1955. Withdrawn between late 70s and early 80s. Transfers for early and post-TOPS BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

6,000 were built at the end of the Second World War for service in France. They returned to the UK later in the 1950s and remained in use into the 1960s. Many were then sold into private industry use. Transfers for BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

The definitive BR standard mineral wagon produced in vast quantities during the 1950s, and used well in to the 1980s, carrying coal, scrap metal and many different minerals. Parts included for Instanter couplings and double brake gear. Transfers for early, late and post-TOPS BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

The sloped sided design evolved from pre-1939 private owner wagons built by Chas. Roberts and Co. After the liberation of France 2,500 were shipped over there, 1,900 later returning. Around 10,000 were in stock with BR, with withdrawal taking place in the 1960s. Some ended up private industry use. Transfers for BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

A fleet of specialist wagons for industrial and building sand were constructed in the early 1950s. They were designed for emptying by tipper or grab. Withdrawal started in the 1970s, some lasting in Civil Engineers service into the 1980s. Transfers for early and post-TOPS BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

16,800 of these wagons were constructed in the 1950s. They were widely used throughout the North East for the transport of coal. Roller bearing axle boxes were applied to some in the 1960s, options for which are in the kit, and lasted until the 1980s. Transfers for early, late and post-TOPS BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

1,500 examples built 1950 – 1951, mainly for the transport of coal. Widely used and lasted until the 1980s. Transfers for early and post-TOPS BR.

Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.

This design of wagon allowed over-sized steel plates to be carried on a trestle mounted on the wagon. These wagons remained in service into the 1970s. Kit includes securing chains and shackles. Transfers for BR 1950s – 1970s. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance.

2,150 of this design were built in 1953 – 1956. Used to carry coal for steel works, power stations and engines sheds. Were intended as the standard mineral wagon, but were too large for many customers. Withdrawn by 1982. Transfers for BR 1950s – 1970s. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers.
