Product Description
North Staffordshire Railway Brake Van conversion for ballast trains, orig built c mid 1870s to early 1900s.
This is an accurate model in 4mm scale, based on details in GF Chadwick (1993) "North Staffordshire Wagons" ISBN 1 874103 15 1, photo of no 60 built in 1874, photo of no 216, and Stoke Works GA drawing dated 1888.
The model shown in the photo is an example printed in FROSTED ULTRA DETAIL (FUD), but is an earlier version with a roof and a separate floor unit.
The builder needs to add a plastic or brass roof, 0.45mm wire for handrails, and suitable door handles. Drill holes at dimples adjacent to the fixing brackets. Lamp irons could be made from FB strip, slots are provided. The floor is designed for MJT 00/EM/S4 W-iron units at 9’ 7” wheelbase. Fit grease or oil axleboxes, springs, brake gear, round base wagon buffers (all not included but mostly available from 51L Models).
Livery: NSR = probably goods brown (suggest use GWR Indian Red). Letters white.
