Truly authentic models for your OO, O or N Gauge

Model Railway

The moulded plastic parts need to be removed from the sprues as illustrated. To minimise the amount of cleaning up required, cut as close as possible to the components.

Before the parts can be joined together, any pips and traces of flash need to be removed. A set of needle files is ideal for this purpose. Work carefully and with only gentle pressure on the file, to ensure the components are not damaged.

The assembly of this kit begins with one of the ends being joined to a side, with these then attached to the floor. First, check the fit of the two parts to be joined, and then hold in position whilst running solvent along the inside of the join with a fine brush. Capillary action will draw the solvent into the joint. Hold together for a few seconds and check the join is true using an engineers’ square.

The chassis sideframes are the next items to be fitted. Brass bearings need to be pressed into the backs of the axleboxes so that the rims sit almost flush; the edge of a flat needle file is ideal for this. Attach one of the sideframes against the lugs on the underside of the floor as illustrated, and allow the joint to harden completely. Check that the sideframe is set exactly vertical.

Hold the second sideframe in position against the lugs on the floor, and then insert the wheelsets. Keep the wheelsets in place by holding the axleboxes firmly together and then run solvent along the inside edge of the second sideframe. Continue to hold in position until the solvent has hardened. Check that both sideframes are set vertical and that the axles are parallel to the floor and ends. Next add the buffer beams, hooks and buffer heads as illustrated.

Brake gear and chassis details vary between prototypes, but there are usually instructions and diagrams supplied with the kit to guide the modeller. Note that this wagon has the brake shoes on one side only. Here, the gusset plates are being fixed in place along the underside of the body using tweezers.

The last items to fit are the couplings; components for tension lock couplings are included in the kit. The completed wagon can be test run, if desired, prior to painting, lettering and weathering to suit. By their nature, plastic wagons tend to be quite light and benefit from additional weight. Open wagons such as this one can have extra weight fitted in two ways; under the floor between the sideframes if running ‘empty’, or in the wagon underneath a suitable load if running ‘full’.

The Parkside Models kit for the ubiquitous BR 16T Mineral Wagon (ref.PC21) presents a very straightforward kit-building exercise, ideal as a first rolling stock construction project. This example has been finished with transfers from the Modelmaster Decals range and weathered using acrylic paints and Humbrol weathering powders.

BUILDING A OO GAUGE WAGON KITby

MODELS

The kit contains all the parts needed to construct a complete wagon. The only additional items required are solvent, paint, transfers and a handful of basic modelling tools; a sharp modelling knife, set of needle files, engineers’ square and a cutting mat.

STEP 1 - Kit contents

STEP 3 - Cleaning the parts

STEP 5 - Adding the bearings

STEP 7 - Fitting the chassis detail

STEP 2 - Cutting parts from the sprue

STEP 4 - Joining the parts

STEP 6 - Inserting the wheelsets

STEP 8 - Couplings and additional weight

The wheelsets are fitted with the axleboxes held in place under tension between the axle ends and the W-irons. It is important to add the wheelsets only once the solebars have dried completely. This is to avoid any tendency for the W-irons to splay out, thereby introducing unwanted ‘slop’ which could compromise the running quality. It is worth sighting along the length of the vehicle to ensure that the axles are in line with each other. Any small amount of ‘rock’ can be corrected by adding – to the relevant wheel – tiny shims of styrene between the top of the axlebox and underside of the spring.

Some of the brake gear components for this kit are supplied as etched parts. These can be cut from the fret using snippers and, after cleaning up with a file, folded to the required profiles using pliers (see right).

The main picture (left) shows the completed brake gear in place. The etched parts are positioned over locating pips on the sub-chassis, enabling ease of alignment. With all the brake gear in place, a final check is made to ensure the brake shoes do not bind against the wheel treads.

STEP 5

STEP 4

The 7mm wagon kits in the Parkside Models range are supplied complete with wheels, bearings, buffers, three-link couplings, glazing (where appropriate) and transfers. Some kits also feature etched parts for brake gear components and lengths of brass wire to form handrails. The basic principles of building one of these kits are the same as for 4mm versions, but there are a few aspects of construction that are expanded upon in the following step by step sequence. The featured kit is an LMS 20T Goods Brake Van (ref.PS111).

Because this model has handrails, the sides need preparing prior to assembling the body; the holes for the handrails are partially moulded and need drilling through using a 0.5mm bit in a pin vice. Fix it in place (using capillary action to draw it along). When trial-fitting the roof it was discovered that there were gaps around the top curved edge of each end, so strips of 20thou styrene strip were fixed over these top edges to close the gaps.

STEP 1

Following assembly of the sides, ends and floor, the couplings can then be added to the headstocks. Each coupling comprises a brass hook, spring and three links. Pliers were used to open out the links to connect them together and then the top link was clipped onto the hook, with the brass housing lightly crimped around the link to hold it in place. The hole in each headstock needed to be enlarged to allow the hook to move smoothly. To fit the coupling, the hook was inserted through the headstock and the spring slotted over from the back. Whilst compressing the spring against the back of the headstock, the ‘tails’ of the hook were bent at opposing right angles to lock the coupling in place.

STEP 2

The axleboxes are separate units that are designed to float vertically within the W-irons, intended to offer a degree of compensation when running over uneven trackwork. At the top of the picture are the five components that form each axlebox, with a partially assembled example beneath.

STEP 3

The sprung buffers are assembled and fitted to the headstocks, with small amounts of cyanoacrylate used to lock the nuts in place. The holes in the headstocks required some reaming out with a file to achieve a satisfactory fit and the insides of the solebars also needed fettling to prevent them from fouling the ends of the buffer shanks.

STEP 6

The model was painted according to the instructions supplied; enamels or acrylics can be used according to your preference. Self-adhesive type transfers are supplied in the 7mm range kits, which cover pre-grouping, post-grouping and post-nationalisation eras as appropriate, with a selection of numbers for each. Each transfer is cut round (through the tissue only and not the backing paper) and then picked up and placed in position with tweezers. It is then pressed down on the body before soaking with water. This separates the tissue from the transfer which can then be lifted clear, as illustrated. A pass of matt varnish from an aerosol helps to fix the transfers in place and protect them from handling. Weathering can be undertaken if desired; weathering powders were used on this model.

STEP 8

STEP 9

For many years the Parkside range of OO, O and N gauge wagon kits were skilfully developed by experienced hands in Scotland. Now, following retirement, the baton has been passed to PECO. We look forward to bringing this range of superb kits to a wider audience, and to continue its development with the release of new kits. In the meantime, please browse the following pages to discover the extensive selection already available. All Parkside Models kits can be supplied by your favourite model shop. In case of difficulty contact PECO direct for help and advice on where to buy.

Building a Parkside Models kit can be a very satisfying and rewarding exercise. And with such a wide variety of kits available you will be sure to be able to add new stock to your railway that cannot be found from the ready-to-run manufacturers.

Handrails were fabricated from the sections of 0.5mm brass wire supplied in the kit. About 3mm was allowed at the ends of each handrail to provide sufficient depth to pass through the locating holes in the model. A scrap piece of 40thou styrene sheet was used as a spacer to maintain an equal distance between the handrails and the body.

The completed model (although the roof was actually kept as a separate item until after painting, as was the glazing). The rain strips were fabricated from the styrene strip provided. To fix each one in place it was first attached with a spot of Plastic Weld at its centre point. Then, working on one side at a time, each end of the strip was pulled down towards its respective corner so that it formed its own natural curve. Plastic Weld was then run along the length of the strip to fix it in place (using capillary action to draw it along). When trial-fitting the roof it was discovered that there were gaps around the top curved edge of each end, so strips of 20thou styrene strip were fixed over these top edges to close the gaps.
