BR Boplate E Wagon (unfitted type)

BR 42ton Boplate E Bogie plate Wagon (unfitted type) - OO plastic kit

Require glue, paint, transfers, couplings, wheels (Gibson 12mm & brass bearings) to complete.

Built between 1951 & 1959. The prototype of this wagon had a mixture of features inherited from the LMS & LNER: LMS "Simplex" brake levers & LNER style buffers. To this was added the BR version of the GWR plate bogie. Some of the wagon lost their floors and bodies to become container flats for the LMR "Condor" service. Modernised wagons became BPA — see below. The kit has one piece bogie side frames and stretchers, with separate axleboxes.

Alan Gibson Wheels compatible : 12mm 3-hole
