NWNGR 4 Ton Coal Wagon

£34.95

These large coal wagons were used by the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway to transport coal to and from the quarries and villages along the line. There is thought to have been 14 at one point in the line’s history, most of which were transferred to Welsh Highland Railway ownership in 1922.

Description

The kit compromises of laser cut plywood parts for the main body and frames of the wagon. Additional detailing is achieved by either FDM or Resin printed detailing parts. The running gear is standard Binnie wheels, with steel axles, our standard CNC machined brass bearings and a set of our resin printed NWNGR goods couplings.

Each part of the kit has been produced by a process that is optimised for that part.

The dimensions below are all maximum dimensions, so over couplings for the length and over any detailing parts on the outside for the width. The height is from the top of the rail.

Length – 180mm
Width – 91mm
Height – 90mm
Coupling Height – 25mm
Gauge – 32mm

The kit contains everything you need to build the wagon, including our detailed and illustrated instructions. The only thing the kit does not contain is any paints, adhesives and decals.

As with all of our kits, this has been designed to be a straight forward kit to build, perfect for beginners. It can be built and assembled as supplied to be a great representation of the NWNGR or WHR coal wagons, or it can be “super-detailed” to add even more realism to your model.

Additional information about these wagons can be found on the Festipedia website. Or images of the wagons can be found on the Ffestiniog Railway Heritage Group’s iBase website.
