LMS/LNER/BR Gunpowder Vans

The kits are a mixed media affair, mainly in 3D printed resin (body, solebars, buffer housings, springs/axleboxes and brakegear) but with a sprung brass ‘under frame’, roof (for a prototypically thin look) and detailing parts along with a cast whitemetal vacuum cylinder (where appropriate). All variations in the LMS/LNE/BR Gunpowder vans with push rod brakegear are covered. Suitable axleboxes and buffer housings will be included but if you require something specific, please state when ordering.
