Product Description
The PRESTWIN twin silo powder wagon was a standard design for British Railways introduced from 1960 and used until the early 1980s.
The intial version, Diagram 274, was designed to run on a BR standard 17' 6", 10' wheelbase chassis. A revised design to Diagram 277 lowered the silos by 9" and ran on a 19' 6", 12' wheebase chassis.
Examples of these wagons can be viewed on Paul Bartlett's Wagon Site, including both designs together.

NOTES
- This model comprises one of each design. Both will fit a Peco NR121 10 foot Steel-type chassis, but the Diagram 277 type should ideally be mounted on a Parkside or Dapol 12 foot wheel-base chassis.
- Basic ladders are included but these could be replaced by brass equivalents from suppliers such as N Brass Locos .
- 2mm decals covering both versions are available from Railtec. Cambridge Custom Transfers BL47 & BL48 cover the versions separately. Fox Transfers FRH2965 covers Diagram 274.
