Product Description
The PRESTWIN twin silo powder wagon was a standard vacuum braked 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" Over Headstocks, 10' wheelbase chassis. A revised design to Diagram 277 lowered the silos by 9" and ran on a 19' 6" Over Headstocks, 12' wheebase chassis.
Two prints are offered, a single Diagram 274 Prestwin (Choose SMALL) or a pair, one of each design (Choose LARGE). Both versions will fit my 10 foot wheelbase chassis, but the Diagram 277 type should ideally be mounted on a 12 foot wheelbase chassis.
Basic ladders are included but these could be replaced by brass equivalents from suppliers such as N Brass Locos .
