Built in the 1950's these 35t GLW (Gross Laden Weight) wagons served the railways for many years transporting iron ore from British iron ore mines for steel production. As that traffic ended, so the wagons found plenty of other uses especially with the BR Civil Engineers department and many lasted into the 1980's as a result. This bauxite liveried example represents the wagon in its original brake-fitted condition, as opposed to the unbraked grey livery version, although to be fair it would never have been so clean! An ideal weathering project for the modeller! 

Produced from new tooling, fine moulded detail, sharp printing, free running metal-tyred wheels and removable couplers are the key features of our new models. But best of all, they represent excellent value for money when compared to the competition, and all made in the UK.

All kits comprise a bag of load material, such as coal or sand, plus sections of board that are cut to size to fit the desired wagon. The modeller, using a PVA adhesive, secures the materials on the cut boards and places the load inside the wagon for instant effect. The additional benefit, apart from the realism, is that some valuable weight is added to what might otherwise be a very light vehicle. Especially useful in an N scale wagon!

The N scale kits contain enough material for up to 6 wagons. Full instructions are provided in the packs.

SPUREN MACHEN III – MILTON KEYNES CENTRAL

Pete Waterman und seine bevorstehende Veranstaltung
Pete Waterman beschreibt, wie er und das Railnuts-Team den heutigen Hauptbahnhof von Milton Keynes für die bevorstehende Veranstaltung „Making Tracks III“ in der Kathedrale von Chester nachgebaut haben.

EISENBAHN DES MONATS
Die North Bucks Narrow Gauge Railway
Alan Rega nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise rund um seine 16-mm-Schmalspur-Garteneisenbahn mit Live-Dampf, an der fast 30 Jahre gearbeitet wurde.

Alle Eisenbahnunternehmen verfügten über einen eigenen Bestand an Fahrzeugen für den Transport von Gütern und Gütern innerhalb ihres Streckennetzes und bei Bedarf auch auf die Strecken anderer Unternehmen. Diese wurden bei der Verstaatlichung in die British Railways integriert; Einige von ihnen sollten im Zuge der Sektorisierung noch einmal neu gestaltet werden, da das Netzwerk darauf vorbereitet war, wieder in Privatbesitz überzugehen. Alle Peco-Wagen verfügen über freilaufende Räder mit Steckachsen. Die ELC-Kupplung ist zwar mit den Standard-N-Spur-Kupplungen kompatibel, sorgt jedoch für einen realistischen Abstand zwischen den Fahrzeugen und ermöglicht die Verwendung des elektromagnetischen Entkopplers PL-25 zum Fernabkuppeln.

Bournemouth Central
Nachdem er sich 50 Jahre lang nicht mit dem Eisenbahnmodellbau beschäftigt hatte, erwachte David Pinch in seiner Kindheit zu neuem Interesse an diesem Hobby und machte sich daran, diese beeindruckende 00-Spur-Neuinterpretation eines klassischen Küstenstadtbahnhofs zu schaffen.

Dieser 5-plankige Teign Valley-Granitwagen von Bovey Tracey wird aus unseren völlig neuen Werkzeugen hergestellt und verfügt über eine rote Karosserie mit weißer Beschriftung, schattiertem Schwarz und schwarzen Eisenbeschlägen. Auf unseren neuen metallbereiften Rädern fahrend, sind diese Wagen, wie die anderen auch, sehr leichtgängig und eine farbenfrohe Ergänzung des wachsenden Sortiments.
