LMS/LNER/BR Morton/Indpendent Braked 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.
The kits will be produced in small batches, please inquire via email for availability.
There is also a ‘brochure‘, just for fun, with more details and the prototype information.

BR Clasp Braked Gunpowder Vans
The final iteration of the steam era gunpowder van with a 10′ wheelbase underframe and BR clasp brakes. This kit covers the 40 wagons built by Swindon between 1958 and 1960 to diagram 1/261. As per the Morton/Independent Gunpowder van kits this is a mixed media affair, mainly in 3D printed resin (body, solebars, buffer housings, springs/axleboxes and brakeshoes) but with a sprung brass ‘under frame’, roof (for a prototypically thin look) and detailing parts along with a cast whitemetal vacuum cylinder.
PC.57 – BR Clasp Braked Gunpowder Van – £39
The kit is supplied with BR 2 part axleboxes (my code FA) and Oleo buffer housings as I believe these are what was fitted when new. If you require different axleboxes please state when ordering.
