NG7 2ton slate wagon - pack of 3

NG7 2 ton slate wagon kits  (pack of 3)

Works out at only £4.50 per wagon. Not available separately.

10.5mm wheelsets and couplers not included.

This generic, freelance design takes its cues from various North Wales narrow gauge slate wagons rather than one particular prototype. 

The scale 6ft chassis is designed for 10.5mm wheelsets with 26mm axles, but can accommodate 25mm. (I use both).

Wheelsets run in brass "top hat" pin point bearings (supplied). Once weighted, this car is a very smooth running wee beastie! various styles of N. Wales wheels are available from the 7mm NG association Sales, or a variety of HO 36" wheelset suppliers (Kadee, Tichy, Altas, Bachmann and others)

Laser-cut rigid chassis and integral body made from 1mm premium ply. This makes for a tough model, resilient to handling and transportation rigours. All parts have alignment features for easy assembly.  Additional strapping and cosmetic parts are laserboard.

The end beams have rubbing plates and a coupler bar for chain and hook couplers, but there is enough space to fit NEM pockets if so desired.

The chassis frame design leaves a lot of space for adding WEIGHT. My prototypes are around 25g with small lead weights in the chassis and no load.  Weights not supplied in the kit - that would push up shipping.

Ffestiniog style brake levers are supplied for each wagon but they can be omitted (I add one braked wagon per rake of 3).

Internal space for wagon load is 41mm x 23mm
