BR ZVX Bogie Carrier Wagon Kit

A full kit to build a highly detailed model of a ZVX Bogie Carrier Wagon.

These wagons were converted from redundant VIX Ferry Vans, other members of the fleet finding use as runner wagons, staff vans, or even converted in to Chubb ballast wagons.
Their sole purpose was to carry bogies to and from workshops and depots, and they could be spotted all over the network.

The kit contains a full chassis with sprung rotating NEM coupling pockets to help negotiate the tightest of curves on these long-wheelbase vehicles. The builder can opt not to use the NEM pockets if they prefer a different system.
Included in the kit are two axles of Bachmann 12mm wheels and brass pinpoint axle bearings for smooth running.

Worried about building a chassis square and true? No need, we have printed the chassis from a single piece of PLA so the W-Irons and chassis solebar are already true and in alignment. Separate resin details are included to add those fine details such as springs and hangers, buffers, switches, lifting rings, vacuum cylinder and handbrake levers / pin-down bars.

Brass / nickel silver rod is also included to make up handrails and coupling pocket springs, along with a bending jig to make the handrails to the correct length and shape.

• PLA One piece chassis – already built square
