Tralee and Dingle Railway Covered Goods Van Kit

Tralee and Dingle Railway Covered Goods Van Kit

Information on Tralee and Dingle rolling stock is scarce, but it would appear that the Bristol Wagon and Carriage Works built 26 covered goods vans between 1890 and 1897. in 1940, 10 of these vans were modified by the addition of sliding ventilators on their sides, thus enabling them to be used for cattle or goods traffic as required. The butter van was a derivative of the standard van with added louvres and bonnet ventilators. All these vehicles lasted until final disposal in 1954. These kits are to our usual specification of injection moulded plastic body and chassis. also included are Alan Gibson wheels for either 9mm or 12mm gauges. Provisons have been made for fitting either "Chopper" type or BEMO couplings (not included)

This kit includes the wheels but no couplings. The most suitable couplings to use are GR-103 coupling pockets with GR-102 couplers (to be attached to the kit using plastic glue)
