Cheap Wagon Kits
Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2015 11:31 pm
Some of you may have already seen these on ebay. T
I bought a few of the coal wagon kits http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sm32-16mm-sca ... 7675.l2557
I felt the need for a spot of light relief after spending hours on more complex kits
For your eight quid you get some nicely cut MDF and acrylic parts and what I think are Binnie wheels.

The detail is quite good on the model and what did impress me was the 'planks' are cut right through.
I timed myself building one and managed it in less than 10 minutes.
For less than the cost of a round of drinks I am very impressed. The fit of the parts was spot on (better than some much more expensive MDF kits).
The seller seems to have a varied range of wagons available from time to time. The oil drum wagon has already been mentioned on the forum. There are also flat wagons and small coal wagons.
