1.575mm (1/16") Diameter Hole (Pack of 50)

3.175mm (1/8" ) Diameter Hole (Pack of 50)

00 Card wagon body kits, designed to be used with the R20 Underframe kit. Romford wheels and bearings can be used to complete the model.

Iconic GWR Goods Brake Van. Unlike other companies' brake vans, the GWR's unique single verandah design meant that they had to be turned on a turntable before the return journey. Easy to assemble from the correctly coloured injection moulded components (no painting necessary). Kits include Transfers. Buffers are sprung and 3-link couplings are included on all models, while the BR wagons also feature working axlebox springs and moveable brake levers. Fine scale metal tyred wheels on pin-point axles supplied, spoked for the GWR wagons or 3-hole disc for the BR types. Fully illustrated instructions included.

Several thousand of these wagons were built between 1888 and 1902. Kit features a pair of working central side-drop doors. Easy to assemble from the correctly coloured injection moulded components (no painting necessary). Kits include Transfers. Buffers are sprung and 3-link couplings are included on all models, while the BR wagons also feature working axlebox springs and moveable brake levers. Fine scale metal tyred wheels on pin-point axles supplied, spoked for the GWR wagons or 3-hole disc for the BR types. Fully illustrated instructions included.

These vans were in general use for transporting perishable traffic from 1925. Some were converted for banana traffic, others were designated exclusively for fish. Kit includes a choice of different ventilators to suit the different uses. Easy to assemble from the correctly coloured injection moulded components (no painting necessary). Kits include Transfers. Buffers are sprung and 3-link couplings are included on all models, while the BR wagons also feature working axlebox springs and moveable brake levers. Fine scale metal tyred wheels on pin-point axles supplied, spoked for the GWR wagons or 3-hole disc for the BR types. Fully illustrated instructions included.

On heavy unfitted coal trains form the Welsh Valleys to London, 6 wheels and 8 tons of extra weight were required to produce sufficient braking force to keep the train under control. Easy to assemble from the correctly coloured injection moulded components (no painting necessary). Kits include Transfers. Buffers are sprung and 3-link couplings are included on all models, while the BR wagons also feature working axlebox springs and moveable brake levers. Fine scale metal tyred wheels on pin-point axles supplied, spoked for the GWR wagons or 3-hole disc for the BR types. Fully illustrated instructions included.

These rugged wagons were used on track maintenance trains together with the Permanent Way Brake Van (W602). Kit features 4 working side-drop doors. Easy to assemble from the correctly coloured injection moulded components (no painting necessary). Kits include Transfers. Buffers are sprung and 3-link couplings are included on all models, while the BR wagons also feature working axlebox springs and moveable brake levers. Fine scale metal tyred wheels on pin-point axles supplied, spoked for the GWR wagons or 3-hole disc for the BR types. Fully illustrated instructions included.

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 were used to keep the couplings taut and therefore also helped prevent snapped couplings. Such trains travelled at low speeds and were finally phased out in the 1970s.

The GWR built these special brake vans between 1890 and 1900, for use on track maintenance trains. They have end windows instead of the usuall verandah.

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.
