Product Description

NG7 6ft flat wagon kits  (pack of 3)

Only £4.50 per wagon. Not available separately.

10.5mm wheelsets and couplers not included. Designed for Kadee couplers

KHM "simple link" couplers supplied to make close-coupled rake of cars.

This generic, freelance design takes its cues from various North Wales narrow gauge 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 1.5mm amd 1mm premium ply. This makes for a tough model, resilient to handling and transportation rigours. All parts have alignment features for easy assembly.  Additional cosmetic parts are laserboard. Flat deck is 0.4mm birch ply.

The coupler pockets are set up for centre set, medium length Kadee (148 whisker couplings or old number 5s). The coupler height correct to the HO Kadee gauge. While the chassis was designed around kadee draft boxes, there is enough space to fit NEM pockets if so desired.

KHM "simple link" couplers (supplied) will fit using the same hole as the Kadees to give a close coupled rake. Only use Kadees at the end wagons to shunt the whole rake - at least that's what i do!

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.

deck size = 44mm x 28mm
