In 1929, 54 of these vans were built to carry meat in chilled conditions. The hoppers inside were filled with “Drikeld” solid carbon dioxide through characteristic roof vents. They lasted into the 1960s, some being converted into “TEVAN” vans (PS48). 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.

Kit and Scratch builder's accessory. Pack contains 2 pairs of 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.

Converted from the “Felix Pole” wagons (PS41), 200 were so treated in 1934-35, to convey coal to GWR locomotive sheds. Featuring extra side doors, they joined the general coal fleet in the 1950s. 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.

8,500 of this type were built in the 1920s for carrying general goods traffic. It is a Midland Railway-derived design with a steel chassis. As they were classified “common user” they would turn up anywhere on the railway network. Transfers for LMS 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.

Standard GWR container (CONFLAT) wagon, as used in kit PS39, but without the container. 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.

221 of these vans were built between 1927 and 1931. Seen all over the GWR, and later BR Western Region. Examples lasted until the 1960s. 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.

This was the standard GWR container wagon (CONFLAT) from 1933 to 1939. Examples lasted into the 1970s. The container supplied with this kit was of a type used to convey bicycles, and is also available separately (PS74). Wagon and container 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.

Almost 1,000 of these high capacity wagons were built in the 1920s for Welsh coal traffic. Rerated to a 21-ton capacity wagon during the Second World War, they were in traffic until the 1960s. Transfers for GWR and BR, and for Norths Navigation Collieries. 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.

A fleet of specialist wagons for industrial and building sand were constructed in the early 1950s. They were designed for emptying by tipper or grab. Withdrawal started in the 1970s, some lasting in Civil Engineers service into the 1980s. Transfers for early and post-TOPS 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.

After the Second World War more fish already chilled with ice was being landed. The railway responded with these insulated vans, being based on the standard LNER van, but with insulated bodies and double recessed doors. They lasted into the 1960s. Transfers for 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.

In 1938-1937 the LNER built 2,000 Fish vans of this design. With a 12 foot chassis they were well suited for fast transit, either within a dedicated fish train, or as part of a passenger service, for which they were fitted with through steam heating pipes. They lasted into the 1960s. Transfers for LNER 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.

These ex-private owner wagons were built in the 1930s using steel chassis for collieries and merchants. They came under Government control in 1939, later allocated to the NCB, who then sold them to BR, where they lasted into the 1960s. Transfers for 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.

200 of these vans were built 1937/38 to convey Guernsey tomatoes. They were also used for other fruit and vegetable traffic. The fleet lasted into the 1970s, being used for general merchandise outside of the season. 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.
