Plastic assembly kit to build a model of the two-silo pressure discharge bulk powder wagon, coded Prestwin.
These wagons were built as potential alternatives to the well-known Presflo covered hopper wagons. While this design was popular in mainland Europe they proved less successful for BR, however they did find their niche in service and bring variety to your goods trains.
Like all kits care in assembly is rewarded, especially with this kit from older tooling. Dapol now supply metal wheels, assemble the chassis carefully to ensure that the wheels will turn freely and the completed wagon will run well. Remember to add some weight inside the silos before sealing them up!

This wagon type was in use on the railways from introduction in 1907 until 1960, so with such a long timespan this will find a home on many model railways. The kit contains some very finely moulded parts, with plenty of sharp detail and relief, and by following the clear instructions modellers should find this a rewarding model to construct.Everything is included except the couplings,paint and transfers. The parts are produced in a base grey colour, suitable for finishing in the GWR dark grey or later BR light grey goods wagon liveries.
Many stayed in service well into the 1950s, latterly running alongside the BR-design banana vans as produced by Ratio.This kit, like all other OO kits from Parkside, are extremely well produced and include wheels and bearings. The body mouldings supplied are the same as Parksides GWR V12 ventilated van kit and alternative ends are supplied with the central sliding ventilator.
A new kit to the Parkside range are the former Peco Wonderful Wagons range 10-feet wheelbase tank wagon kits.Retaining the adjustable working suspension of the Wonderful Wagons range the kits have been updated to feature NEM coupler pockets for easy coupler fitting and are now supplied unfinished with a decal sheet providing many options for letter and number placement than with the previous pre-printed finish.
Kit supplied with lettering decals for United Dairies or Express Daries.
Kit supplied with lettering decals for Shell/BP or Esso.
Finescale plastic model kit of the BR standard type Pipe wagon. Metal wheels and brass bearings included.

The Midland Railway vans remained in service throughout the LMS period and into British Railways ownership until the mid-1950s, with some examples lasting longer as brake/mess vans with the engineering departments.
Plastic kit to build an 8-plank RCH 1923 specification open coal wagon with side doors and fixed ends.
This kit builds a model of one of these vans, possibly the last 'traditional' sized wagons in revenue service with British Rail. The kit is straightforward to build, the parts fitting together well. Separate suspension and axlebox units are supplied, making fitting and assembly of the chassis details very easy.
Featuring a detailed rivetted body and distinctive high-level brake lever this kit represents a batch built in 1936. Following batches for the LNER and the early batches of the standard BR-built wagons retained many of these features, the raised brake levers being particularly noticable. Around 13,600 wagons were built to this pattern, serving alongside the later BR built examples with the frame-level Morton brake levers (kits PC77 & 78) well into the 1970s. The commonality between these kits for genarally similar wagons also allows for cross-kitting to create models of even more variations.
This kit contains all parts necessary to construct one of these vehicles, including wheels and brass bearings. The moulded parts are well produced making construction of the kit a pleasure to do. Full assembly instructions are included and will guide the modeller step by step.
The OO wagon kits series is wide and varied, with over 80 in the range. The kits come complete with metal bearings and wheels, and a comprehensive guide on how to build and paint the model is supplied.Glue and paints are required to assemble and complete the model (not included)
A detailed plastic kit building a model of a British Railways all-steel welded construction 13 ton hopper wagon. Based on an existing LNER design steel bodied hopper wagon over 2,600 were built between 1949 and 1953 to diagrams 1/142 and 1/144. Initially built for domestic coal distribution service in the North East where stations often had coal drop staithes some escaped in later years, having been found suitable for sand and stone traffic all around the UK. The last examples were withdrawn form aggregates service in the early 1980s as BR eliminated 'unfitted' wagons.
The FAT suspension units with roller bearings are supplied separate from the moulded solebars and W irons, making this kit an ideal source of parts for converting other Parkside kits to represent the air braked adaptations made to some older wagon designs.
Unpainted Dapol 6 wheel milk tank wagon. Ideal for creating liveries not yet produced by Dapol including milk companies and the small number of other users of these 6 wheel tank wagons from the chemicals and food production sectors.
