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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The original metal coupling designed for use with the SL30 uncoupler, allows a vehicle to be lifted straight from within a train without derailing adjacent vehicles.

A superb auto coupling designed for magnetic operation using the special uncoupler SL-32
• Allows a vehicle to be lifted straight from within a train without derailing adjacent vehicles
• Delayed action feature - after uncoupling, a vehicle can be pushed to any position
• Supplied complete with spring, screw and adaptor moulding

0 Gauge Chassis kits and Accessories for scratchbuilders and kit modification. Pack includes working axlebox springs, sprung buffers, 3 link couplings, floor, full brake gear with alternative types of brake lever and a choice of axleguards.

Literally just a steel box on wheels, these wagons were designed to be emptied by turning them upside down in a 'tippler' mechanism, hence there are no side or end 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.
