KMRC are to pleased to announce we are to stock Clark Railworks products including their newly announced Demountable tank wagons.

‘Demountable’ was the name given to a family of vehicles that featured a tank which could be removed (usually by means of a crane) from their chassis. But unlike container trains, there were several designs of both tanks and chassis, which weren’t interchangeable.
Introduced from 1949, 114 Demountables eventually took to the rails. Construction was shared between Shildon, Derby and Earlestown, with many repurposed from older chassis. Their primary role was the carriage of beer. Demountables continued in front-line use until the late 1970s, but some then drifted into internal and departmental duties, with a few surviving into preservation.

The models will have a die cast chassis, sprung buffers, removable NEM coupling and pockets, removable load with extra fine securing chains.

C3020 B749030 Bass Worthington’
