I was given a 'weathered' Dapol open wagon once, complete with weathered sand, The only thing that had escaped the paint were the wheelsets, fitted after painting and possibly the only part of a real wagon that would be rusty! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many, apparently only 5000 kits were sold as as they were a bit more expensive than the usual "mad scientist" chemistry sets* that were sold in the USA. Some Universities bought them... * Some of the chemicals provided in US chemistry sets were a bit lethal. UK Merit chemistry sets of the time contained magnesium ribbon, but that was about as far as we were provided with! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
