This 4mm / OO gauge diesel engine carrier kit is indeed a unique and impressive addition for any British Rail Southern Region layout from the 1970s through the 1990s. Modelled on the ZRA DEMU Engine Carrier Wagons in the DB99805x series, it replicates the distinct look of the original prototypes.
Key Features:
High Detail, Easy Assembly: The chassis and solebar are printed as a single PLA piece, ensuring both durability and straightforward assembly. This design choice maintains the model’s detail without compromising its stability or squareness, appealing to both beginners and experienced modellers.
Quality Running Components: The kit includes Markits / Romford shouldered pinpoint brass axle bearings and Bachmann OO metal wheels/axles, which together create smooth, friction-free running and eliminate wear on the chassis.
Additional details:
NEM Coupling Pockets: These offer flexibility, allowing builders to choose couplings that best match their other rolling stock.
3D Printed Resin Parts: These parts contribute to the high level of detail in the model.
Brass Brake Rigging and stainless steel Lamp Irons.
Balance and Stability: Weights, included for stability, can be discreetly hidden inside the model’s hood, ensuring it remains firmly on the track without compromising its appearance.
Comprehensive Instructions: Detailed assembly instructions with diagrams guide modellers through each step, from the foundational assembly to final detailing.
Additional Requirements:
To complete the model, you’ll need to supply paint, glue, decals, and NEM couplings.
