br ferry tube wagons

[class25]

Hello; I am currently building a series of wagons either sratch or using butchered kits (cut down OJX's, creosote tanks, GW Pway S&T vans, etc, many thanks to various folks including Mighty Paul Bartlett for help). I am looking at adding a Ferry Tube to the list, using the Parkside model as a basis and adding new sides and boxes. My question is, can I get hold of the appropriate brake gear/axle boxes to make this scheme work? Wondered if anyone can help

 

Cheers and many thanks

Chris,

 

I've done this conversion. The axleboxes, springs and airbrake equipment can be obtained from Appleby Model Engineering :-

I'm sure that I still have the designs for the transfers that I produce for this wagon - if you need them, let me know and I'll check.

 

I can also supply the creosote tank wagon transfers - see Sheet BL3 at http://www.cctrans.f...uk/products.htm .

 

You'll find many more 'off-beat' subject in my transfer list - 'cos I like them.

the UIC double link suspension under the Hornby VIX ferry van is actually quite good - I've used it under my scratchbuilt German vans. The ferry tube uses 8shoe-clasp brakes, so agaoin sould be fairly easy to source.
