SR "Borail" Bogie Rail Wagon Kit (D1598)

SR "Borail" Bogie Rail Wagon Kit (D1598) - OO unpainted plastic kit

These wagons were built from 1937, beginning with a batch of 25 wagons. 30 more followed in 1943, and 50 in 1945.

The later ones had different buffers. The kit includes all three types of buffers: as built the first batch had SECR-type buffers, later ones had unusual Bulleid ones with rectangular buffer head spindles. The wagons were used to transport new rails which meant that they travelled to/from Workington or Scunthorpe. In BR days the wagons were used to transport used rail panels and sometimes other items, such as bridge girders.

With "one-piece" diamond-framed bogies.

Plastic Model Kit. Require glue, paint, transfers, couplings, wheels (26mm axles & brass bearings) to complete.

Alan Gibson Wheels compatible : 12mm 3-hole
