Prototype Era
Era 5 (1957 to 1966) British Railways Late Crest
Manufacturer description
Demountable wagons were a small but fascinating staple of the British railway scene for decades and though most famous for their association with the ‘divine medicine’ diversified into many other uses. Often requested by modellers, we’re delighted to offer them as our latest premium-quality OO Gauge product – so give in to beer pressure and order yours today!
C3021 | B749039 | BR Adhesives (Cambridge to Inverness)
Another graduate of the 1950 Bass Beer batch (but built at Shildon to a different chassis design), this wagon appears three times in our lineup – albeit in very different identities! Repurposed by British Railways in 1962, it spent the next decade or so transporting adhesives from Cambridge to Inverness, until the closure of the latter’s chipboard factory.

SPECIFICATIONS
A splash of colour brightens any railway scene, so we’ve ‘seen red’ with our first run of Demountables! But a closer look will reveal subtle differences in each model, and we’ve catered for alternative chassis designs as well as various stages in the Demountables’ diverse histories. To borrow from video game pop culture, why not ‘catch ‘em all’?
Naturally, our Demountables will feature our trademark attention to quality, with finely detailed die-cast chassis, removable loads, sprung buffers and innovative ‘ultra-flex’ bufferbeam pipes that allow them to negotiate 2nd radius curves even with tension-lock couplings attached.
And as with our Lowmacs, we’ve not forgotten finer-scale enthusiasts, as 26mm axles with plenty of ‘wiggle room’ allow for easy conversion to EM and P4 Gauges.
