These wagons were used for carrying rail, girders, sawn timber, trees, telegraph poles, pipes etc. 'Steel girder' load included. Transfers are included; glue and paints are required to complete this model.

Built as part of the 'common user' pool of vehicles, their numbers totalled nearly 6,000. Made between 1931 and 1934, they were heavliy used all over the system. Transfers are included; glue and paints are required to complete this model.

Originally a war time structure, many of these have survived and found to have many different uses. The kit will make up 2 full length (approx 170mm long and 75mm wide) huts; however, the supplied internal bracings are also detailed as ends so it is also possible to make up 4 shorter (85mm long x 75mm wide) huts if required. Glue and paints are required to complete this model.

Vacuum braked wagon underframe kit with steel type solebars. Kit and scratch builders' accessory; glue and paints are required to complete this model.

This kit is a model of a typical GWR brick built signal box with a hipped roof, built between 1896 and 1921. In practice there were many small differences between individual signal boxes as they were often tailored to fit the location, a good example is on the South Devon Railway at Buckfastleigh. The Ratio Signal Box Interior kit 553 will provide a wealth of interior detail. Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism (See the Pecoscene Weathering Powder range PS-360 - 365); glue is required to complete this model. Footprint: Approx 90mm x 48mm

This kit replicates the precast concrete Southern Region example, often paired with the Concrete Hut (ref 518). A Fogman, when fog or snow reduced visibility, placed detonators on the rails ahead of signals or temporary speed restrictions imposed due to works etc. to provide additional warning to train drivers. The kit also includes a set of platelayers tools. Glue and paint are required to complete this kit. Footprint 20mm x 15mm.

From the late 1960's the spread of shipping containers revolutionised the transport of goods. On the railways marshalling yards gave way to intermodal depots as containers are transferred between ships, trains and road vehicles. The Rolling Underframe kit (Ref 546A) can be added to transform this unit into a movable crane. Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism (See the Pecoscene Weathering Powder range PS-360 - 365); glue is required to complete this model. Footprint; Sides 61mm wide X 125mm High, Span 153mm

Modelled on a hoist found at Plymouth Laira depot which is still in use today assisting with the maintenance of Locos and rolling stock. An Inspection Pit (Peco LK-56/156) was also often provided.The Rolling Underframe kit (Ref 546A) can be added to transform this unit into a movable crane. Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism (See the Pecoscene Weathering Powder range PS-360 - 365); glue is required to complete this model. Footprint 61mm wide, Span 90mm

Used for light lifting work in goods depots and other yards. Also to be found inside goods sheds for unloading wagons. Chain included; kit requires glue and paints to complete.

Where carriages, multiple unit sets or modern locos are stored for cleaning and maintenance, narrow platforms are provided for access. Still widely used today alongside carriage sidings, and also within storage and maintenance facilities (See Ratio 527 Carriage Shed and Wills Modern SSM300 Modern Industrial Building and SSM315 Extension kits). Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism (See the Pecoscene Weathering Powder range PS-360 - 365); glue is required to complete this model. Footprint: 500mm long plus access steps

300 of these wagons were built between 1952 and 1954. They were originally fitted with steam heating, but this was later removed. Used mainly by the companies Geest and Fyffes, these vans could be part of a mixed train or a 'block load' on their way from the shipping dock. Transfers are included; glue and paints are required to complete this model.

BR built 875 of these wagons between 1954 and 1960 for use on the West Country china clay workings. The first 100 wagons were unfitted, but all were later fitted with Morton vacuum brakes. Transfers are included; glue and paints are required to complete this model. Use the Pecoscene PS-361 China Clay Dust Weathering Powder to give that 'working vehicle' look to your wagon.
