woodenhead Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hattons are advertising this kit from Peco in N. It's a Pillbox 'style' brakevan - style is certainly the word as it looks like the standard BR brakevan with the duckets altered and gates added,or is that prototype to this? https://www.hattons.co.uk/35562/peco_products_knr_29_sr_pill_box_style_brake_van_plastic_kit/stockdetail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PMP Posted February 7, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2022 It is a derivative of the BR standard van. I can’t recall seeing one before but they’ve obviously been around a while. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted February 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2022 It's been around for years, albeit only in kit form. See page 31 of the 1982 catalogue: https://www.ness-st.co.uk/pdf/Peco_1982.pdf Peco do have some all new wagons due out hopefully this year. I'm also sure they'll produce a N Gauge model decorated for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Steven B. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yes. Remember it from back in the day. I think I've still got one somewhere from when I dabbled in N Gauge. I don't think they ever sold it as a finished product. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegr Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It's always been a kit although that's not really what it is. More a unassembled/unpainted Peco BR 20 ton brakevan with the ducket missing and part's to make it look more like SR one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 I can see why it remained a kit, it’s a bit of a mongrel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
