For narrow gauge models built to either 00 (4mm) or H0 (3.5mm) scale and running on 9mm gauge track. This rigid track system is particularly useful on small layouts with tight curves, and is fully compatible with the 009 Streamline track system.

Trains of slate wagons used to be gravity run from the quarries at Blaenau Ffestiniog to the harbour at Porthmadoc, this model pack of 3 ready to run wagons includes 1 braked vehicle and removable slate loads which are conveniently hollow, thus giving the modeller the added option of including some further weight if required.
Roughly one in five wagons was fitted with brakes. These were spread throughout the train and turned so the brake handles were all on the same side of the train, pointing towards Porthmadog. Different colours painted on the side bars denoted the various slate quarry companies; our packs feature random selections of these. As these wagons tend to run in long rakes, the models have semi-permanent close-couplings fitted in their NEM pockets. These can be pulled out with fine nosed pliers and replaced with conventional OO-9 hoop-and-loop couplings (supplied) at each end of the rake.

These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels. Glue and paint will be required, along with appropriate transfers.

Based on our GR-231 Lynton & Barnstaple wagon (SR Livery) No 28313, this is an unlettered version for those who wish to create their own narrow gauge system or emulate another. Although unbranded, it still features the legally required weight and tare markings and strapping detail, plus separately-fitted brake levers and vacuum brake pipes. As with all of our previous models in this scale, it is free running and complete with couplings, which plug into the integral NEM pocket.
