4 mm SCALE WAGON UNDERFRAME KITS

TAKE the drudgery out of wagon building by using one of my scale underframe kits. They are designed for wagons having a steel channel solebar but can be adapted for wooden solebar variants and are available in both 9' and 10' wheelbase versions. They come with the well-proven rocking W-lron compensation system but provision is made for a rigid chassis to be built if preferred. Both kits are designed to be used with scale 17' 6" long bodies although the 9' wheelbase kit is marked to enable it to be shortened to fit either a 16' 6" or a 16' body as required. The kits, finely etched in 0.012" brass for 4mm scale comprise the following:

Wagon base with channel solebars - adaptable to wooden type;

Buffer beams (two shapes);

W-Irons:

Cast white metal R.C.H. axieboxes and springs:

All brake linkages and components for the various types of braking systems;

Cast white metal vacuum cylinder

Lost wax cast brass brake pipes:

Pin point axle bearings:

Full assembly instructions with a number of diagrams showing the workings of the various braking systems.

Because of the large number of possible wheel and buffer combinations these components are NOT included in the kits. I can, however, supply these as separate items, the wheels and the buffers are listed in the appropriate sections. (Back to list).
