I have a quick video of 3 painted wagons and Bomb-less wagons + loco

Dimensions: height from rail top (excluding brake/bombs): 14mm, width: 21mm, length (excluding couplings): 36mm

Parts, supplied UNPAINTED:
3 - Wagon Bodies/Chassis with NEM socket -
3 - Bomb loads (optional), 9 or 10 bombs per wagon, usually 1 group of 4, 1 of 3, and the rest individual
3 - Coupling sets – multiple spares per wagon, normally attached to wagon floor - see below for details
3 - Brake handles – both wheel and lever types, with spares, normally attached to wagon floor 3 - pairs of Kato solid metal wheels/axles (14.2mm), normally pre-fitted to the chassis

Photos show all the parts supplied, along with some painted versions - the painted ones are prototypes, and may have minor differences.

COUPLINGS: The wagons have an NEM socket, so you can fit your own types, but my OO9 hook and fixed loop couplings are supplied attached inside the wagon (1 spare set), just apply gentle sideways pressure to snap off. Also supplied are 2 or 3 ‘3 link chain’ resin prints per wagon. These couple the wagons using the small pin above the NEM slot.

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.

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 spares, in case of breakage.

WEIGHTING: The metal wheel-sets give the wagons a reasonable amount of weight. You can of course add weight as 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, I recommend any work be done with a file/sandpaper or min-drill rather than trying to cut, as this is gentler. I 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.

The parts are printed in high-resolution resin, I generally print 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.

STOCK: I 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 I have to make parts to order. I will advise you when the order is received of any delay, otherwise I aim to dispatch with 2 working days.
