Set of 4 wagons, 2 flat wagons for carrying rail sections, and 2 low sided open wagons for ballast and track maintenance equipment. The kit includes metal wheels,transfers, brass buffer heads and the rail load as shown, and requires glue and paint to complete.

Set of 2 wagons. Originally LNWR wagons, they were in common use for carrying coal and general merchandise. The kit includes metal wheels, transfers and brass buffers heads, and requires glue and paint to complete.

Built 1941 to 1944 by the Southern Railway, they also made 500 to the same design for the LMS and 650 for the GWR. Transfers are included; glue and paints are required to complete this model.

These vans were first built in 1937 and continued in use until 1986 on newspaper and mail trains. Transfers are included; glue and paints are required to complete this model.

First built in 1945, 2,500 of these vans were constructed of plywood owing to the post war shortage of other materials. Transfers and brass buffers included; glue and paint are required to complete this model.

1,000 of this design were built by the Southern Railway from 1936 to 1939. Extra vents and transfers are included for the Dover ferry van version. Glue and paints are required to complete this model.

O Scale BR 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.

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.

O Scale LMS 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.

O Scale LNER 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.

O Scale SR 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.

Over 2,600 of these wagons were built for use on British Railways, between 1949 and 1953. They became synonymous with the North East Region, where coal drop staithes were commonly provided in the station goods yard, so a bottom-discharge hopper was the obvious type to use. Although intended for transporting coal, in later life they became more nomadic around the UK and were used for carrying other materials such as stone and sand. The last examples lingered in service until the early 1980s.

These kits have been transferred over to Parkside from the PECO "Wonderful Wagons" range, a long-standing favourite kit of modellers for many years. Back then these kits were pre-coloured and decorated, but we have overhauled the kits, added an NEM pocket (so modellers can easily fit a coupler of their choice - although the kit is supplied with a set of tension-lock couplers) and now supply the kits with either a set of milk company decals (PC91) or oil company decals (PC92). The decals provide a whole lot more detail than previously applied to the original pre-decorated kits.

Around 100 of these vans were built by the LNER between 1921 and 1936 for the transportation of grain, initially from the Port of Hull. In time their use became more widespread, often finding work transporting barley from Lincolnshire to the maltings in Scotland. The remaining wagons were retired in the mid-1970s.

Our new kit really is all-new. Brand new tooling producing some very fine plastic mouldings. In addition to that the kit includes brass bearings, fine scale metal wheels and NEM pockets for the tension lock couplers included. A set of waterslide decals for both the LNER and BR periods are included. Assembly is really straight forward aided by the clear and helpful instructions. The resulting model is one that would make a fine addition to any layout, and from a retailer's point of view there is the added attraction of being able to sell multiple kits given that modellers would likely require a rake of these wagons!
