GWR Milk Van type O4 : This kit represents the most numerous type of six wheeled GWR siphon, designated O4. There were a number of types and variants of the GWR milk van. This vehicle type had three double doors whereas earlier vans had two double doors. An entire book was written on the development of these vehicles. (“Great Western Siphons” by Jack N. Slinn, Pendragon books 1986 in association with the Historical Model Railway Society).
This kit features:
- Laser cut MDF carcass
- Overlaid card Panels
- 3D printed roof
- 3D printed solebar
A difficult and tedious task encountered when modelling pre-grouping rolling stock is the preparation, cutting out and alignment of the windows, droplights and panels.
This kit reduces the tedium, complication and labour associated with the construction of a detailed model of a coach body using accurate laser cut layers conveniently assembled in our SmartFrame without specialist knowledge to give the same quality, or better, as traditional methods using plastic or etched components.
There are precisely aligned layers for the coach sides which reproduce window apertures, droplights, window frames, panelling, and beading. Floor, partitions, roof members, ends complete with steps and panelling are included together with pre-cut glazing. In summary, all that is required to make a convincing representation of this early panelled coach body.
Build impressive rolling stock using this kit as the basis of your next project.
