Talyllyn Railway 2 Bar Slate wagon Kit x 6 with wheels in 3D Resin for 4mm scale / 9mm track – OO9

£24.99 per set of 6 + 1st Class postage per order

Designed from original drawings and photographs, this kit matches very well with the Dundas Models DMT08. Please check all the photos, and read the text below to know what you are receiving.

Parts, supplied UNPAINTED:
6 - Wagon Body/Chassis (** 2 with brake levers/gear) with NEM style socket
6 - Couplings + Spares - normally attached inside wagon
6 - Slate loads, come as split parts, need to be glued together
6 - pairs of Kato solid metal wheels/axles (14.2mm), normally pre-fitted to the chassis

** 1 of each group of 3 wagons have brake levers and gear

Photos show all the parts supplied, along with some painted versions - painted wagons in the photos have been given a quick spray (grey car primer - should washed first to remove some dust/fluff !) then used a black acrylic pen for metal parts. (would look even better with a final black wash / white dry brush)

These are also available as sets of 3 wagons - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265533837917

WHEELS: If removing/replacing wheel-sets, do this very carefully, using pliers to hold the axles, and only apply gentle pressure to the axle boxes. The 3D resin is not as flexible or forgiving as injection moulded plastic.

The parts are printed in high-resolution resin, we are currently printing in white, although this doesn’t photograph well, it paints very well (colour you receive may vary). All prints have been cleaned and cured thoroughly, but as with all 3D prints, there may be small blemishes to tidy up.

COUPLINGS: Couplings are printed inside the wagon, and will normally still be attached. Light sideways presure with a finger will snap them off, then clean up sprues on couplings. The chassis have an NEM style slot, which also takes PECO couplings, so you can build the rake with close couplings, then add PECO ones (not included) at the end if required.

Due to tolerances/variations in the printing process, the couplings may be slightly loose, or rather tight. Loose will just require some glue or packing, if tight, ensure all the sprues/bumps are fully removed (a fingernail usually does the trick), you can also lubricate with an HB pencil (as the resin is naturally rough), but some might require gentle filing/sanding to ensure a good fit. Use super glue or PVA - solvent glues do not work on 3D resins.

The NEM style pockets and couplings are a little delicate, so take care, they will not stand up to repeated insertion and removal. Each wagon comes with 2 OO9 hooks and 2 hooks with fixed loops, so there are double the number required, in case of breakage.

All the new wagons include a simple pin at each end, so you can use jeweller’s chain couplings (2mm loops) within rakes.

WEIGHTING: The metal wheel-sets give the wagons a reasonable amount of weight. You can of course add weight inside the load, but better to add a small lead strip under the chassis, between the axles, to give a low centre of gravity.

CAREFUL: All 3D models can be a little delicate, so don't drop them on the floor ! Also, we recommend any work be done with a file/sandpaper rather than trying to cut, as this is gentler. We cannot be held responsible for breakage during handling, but if they are damaged in the post, then please provide photographic evidence of packaging etc. Any breakage can normally be fixed with a spot of super-glue or PVA.

STOCK: We hold a small stock, so will normally dispatch next working day (or even same day if early enough), but at times there may be a delay if we have to make parts to order. We will advise you when the order is received of any delay, otherwise we aim to dispatch with 2 working days.

Lastly, we are always interested in feedback (check the eBay feedback for how pleased people are with the models), both on this model, and suggestions for what to work on next.

Thank you
