0 Gauge Chassis kits and Accessories for scratchbuilders and kit modification. This pack contains sufficient components to assemble four buffers and two 3- link 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.

These vans were converted from Mica Insulated Vans in 1938 (see PS49). They carried tea and coffee from the Lyons depot at Greenford into the 1960s. They featured a zinc-lined body. Transfers for GWR and 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.

O Scale GWR wagon tarpaulin, produced from a material that convincingly replicates the texture and look of canvas tarpaulins once commonly used on open wagons, to protect the contents underneath. Each product contains 3 tarpaulins.

Transfers (Waterslide) GWR/BR (from Kits PS26-29)

Period Transfers included. A Conflat, road vehicle load, or as a scenic accessory for the Goods Yard.

0 Gauge Chassis kits and Accessories for scratchbuilders and kit modification. This pack contains sufficient components to assemble four pairs of 3- link 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.

Peco Streamline Flat Bottom 0 Gauge track is superbly detailed, with correct scale width 'wood grain' sleepers and integrally moulded baseplates with Pandrol (TM) type rail fixings. Insulated rail joiners are required to provide electrical breaks where Electrofrog turnouts are used, for more details see our Wiring the Layout publications Nos 4 and 21. The SL-713 Transition Track is an ideal way to connect Flat Bottom track to the Bullhead Setrack and Streamline track systems.

Kit for single track level crossing gates.

A great new range of ready-painted lineside accessories. These models are cast in an acrylic polymer plaster mix - a perfect material with which to create some very convincing detail, and they are then painted and distressed for authenticity.

Designed and produced in Edinburgh for PECO by Jim Burns. The result is a very convincing and realistic looking model that will fit in most areas of a layout.
