NWNGR Later Box Slate Wagon.

£24.95£27.45

These box slate wagons were used on the NWNGR and subsequently on the WHR to transport goods, such as coal to the quarries along the line, but also used to carry slate from the quarries. It is thought the railway had about 50 of these wagons, many of which were transferred to WHR 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 – 132mm
Width – 70mm
Height – 56mm
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. Please note, the kit does not contain the brake gear, as most of these wagons were un-braked. To build a braked version, the brake components are available here.

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 box slate 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.
