Northern Fine Scale Rolling Stock Kits and Products
| Coke Rails Wagons |
|
Coke was a by-product of municipal gasworks throughout Britain. It could be transported in wagons modified
with extension rails designed to increase their capacity.
Adding coke rails to our 7-plank wagon kit produces a vehicle typical of those in service.
|
| Five Plank Wagons |
|
Five Plank Wagons were the ubiquitous bulk haulers of the railway
system. Frequently held by private owners, their (often colourful)
livery gave a lively appearance to every goods train.
|
| Seven Plank Wagons |
|
Seven Plank Wagons are modelled on
those used in Britain as a large-size railway bulk carriers. Both the
railway companies and private owners maintained large fleets.
|
| Rectangular Tanks |
|
Northern Fine Scale Gauge 1 Rectangular Tank Wagons are typical
of those seen on the railways from the 1800's through to the 1970's
. A frequent if unglamorous sight, they were usually covered in a coat of the
10 – 12 ton load of tar or heavy oil that they carried.
|
|
Bolster Wagons (Twin & Single Wagon Kits) |
|
Single Bolster Wagons were used as loose-coupled pairs and runners. For
longer loads a runner/match single bolster wagon would be used in
conjunction with a twin bolster wagon.
|
| Coaches |
|
Northern Fine Scale have introduced a rake of three
South Eastern & Chatham and Southern Railway panelled ready-to-run
coaches as a load for the Wainwright "D" Class, or "C" Class
locomotives.
|
| Vans |
|
We supply both an LNER 12-ton Van and the LNER Ventilated Fruit Van.
Both types of van were built in large numbers and operated throughout the UK
from the 1920's well into the 1960's.
|
| Peaked Roof Wagons |
|
Peaked Roof Wagons were commonly used to carry salt, lime and also coal and china clay.
|
