These sub-frames have been designed to
fit under Slaters, Cambrian and Parkside wagons
although they may be used for other manufacturers (specifically
Bachmann and Oxford ready-to-run) and scratch-built
wagons.
Our latest are
10ft wheelbase, for either steel and wooden solebar wagons, fitted with Morton brakegear.
They provide an easy-to-assemble, sprung sub-frame and include full single-sided or independent
double-sided brakes with a choice of brake levers and brake lever
guides.
The sub-frames can be built for 00, EM or P4 gauges
and incorporate springing as standard. Comprehensive
illustrated instructions and diagrams are provided.
Wheels (3ft.1½in.diameter) and
coupling chain are needed to complete. |
