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.
