WAGON KITS??
-------------------------------
Having concentrated largely on complete ready to run wagons for the past few years, we are
often asked whether we can supply our models in kit form. Hitherto, we have resisted this, whilst offering the
alternative of supplying our standard wagons as a set of parts for the more enthusiastic self-builder to put
together in a home workshop, as distinct from a screw together type kit.
However, such has been the interest more recently that we are seriously looking at re-designing
chassis and some wagons to be produced in a manner more suited to self building, for example using brackets,
screws and rivets where previously tig-welding or silver soldering skills have been essential. To help us with
choosing which wagons to offer initially, anyone interested is invited to email us with your wagon kit "wish
list", or suggestions!
This applies equally to both 5" gauge and 7 1/4" gauge wagons.
That's all for now. As always, please get in touch if you have any questions - we are always
delighted to hear from you.
