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!
C3024 | ADB749030 | British Railways/Depot Engineer Eastfield
By 1977, the erstwhile B749030 had been repurposed at Glasgow’s Eastfield depot, from where it was used on engineering trains. Records suggest that the wagon served in this role until the early 1990s, after which it was preserved.
Era 7 - Present day
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.
