Having gone teetotal in 1979, this former Bass Charrington example continued to operate in Scotland into the 1980s, where it was used primarily as a water carrier.

Era 8 & 9

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.

• Sprung buffers
• 'Ultraflex' end pipes
• Removable NEM coupling and pocket
• Removable tank load with extra-fine securing chains
