Wagon Hook Plates

[Railways Forever]

Does anyone know who produces a 4mm plate that the coupler hook fits into on a wagon buffer beam preferably etched brass

 

Thanks

Not 100% sure but try their drawbar plates CP1/CPB 

 

 Drop them an email to check they're what you're after.

Brassmasters provide them

in their very useful etch for coupling hooks. I only ever need the coupling hooks and have dozens of draw hook plates I don’t need. If you’re interested I can pop some in the post?

A dozen per fret. How many do you need?

But they are not necessarily a standard item. GWR wagons can be roughly dated by the shape of theirs and even on BR there are several different designs and depths. Yes those rectangular, 4 bolt ones are very commonly fitted.

MJT W-iron etches have a range of drawbar hook plates.
