OO scale 4mm:1ft Ratio kits
« on: December 12, 2014, 07:57:24 AM »
So Wesley has reminded me of these old wood and brass kits I have.  I located a few very old Ration British kits at various places.  The kits contain shaped wood parts, and some brass bits, and instructions to assemble a goods wagon.  the kits does not contain underframes, wheels or couplers.

Currently I have the following kits:
1) Great Western Cattle Van - yes I know it is supposed to have chain link tension couplings, but I had to use what I had, it was this, kadee or lima type couplings...


2) Great Western Bloater (Fish reefer wagon)


3) Great Western 20T Toad (Brake Van) - I have this kit #889 in wood, and a 40 years later version of the exact same kit, in plastic #569...


4) S.R. 20T brake van


I really love these wood kits!

For the record - they were broken BEFORE I moved this post... :innocent:
