PECO have announced new RTR Lynton & Barnstaple Railway 8T Bogie Goods Brake Vans in 00-9 and Parkside 10ft 4 wheel tank wagon kits in 00 gauge.

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway 8 ton goods brake vans were built by the Bristol Carriage & Wagon Works in 1897, the company supplying three of these useful vehicles that could carry goods as well acting as the brake van. The PECO models faithfully replicate the earlier open veranda style, and the later enclosed veranda style that the Southern Railway introduced. They also feature operating opening side doors, fine printing and now metal rimmed wheels.
Three versions have been announce as below:
GR-240AO L&B 8 ton Bogie Goods Brake Van, Open Veranda, L&B Livery, grey, no.5
GR-240BO L&B 8 ton Bogie Goods Brake Van, Open Veranda, L&B Livery, red, no.14
GR-241AC L&B 8 ton Bogie Goods Brake Van, Closed Veranda, SR Livery, brown, no. 56039

Two new kits have now been added to the Parkside Models kit range - the 10ft 4-wheel tank wagon. These kits have been transferred over to Parkside from the PECO "Wonderful Wagons" range, a long-standing favourite kit of modellers for many years. Back then these kits were pre-coloured and decorated, but we have overhauled the kits, added an NEM pocket (so modellers can easily fit a coupler of their choice - although the kit is supplied with a set of tension-lock couplers) and now supply the kits with either a set of milk company decals or oil company decals. The decals provide a whole lot more detail than previously applied to the original pre-decorated kits.
The images shown are of each kit built, painted and decorated. The former PECO "Wonderful Wagon" kits were ahead of their time when they were released and the tank wagons were the only complete kits left in the range. We just had to keep them going so it makes sense to place them under the Parkside heading. The working underframe suspension is well ahead of any ready-to-run models available on the market!

Both kits now available, sold in singles.
PC91 Parkside Models OO/4mm scale 10ft tank wagon kit - milk tank
PC92 Parkside Models OO/4mm scale 10ft tank wagon kit - oil tank
You can pre-order the Parkside kits in 00 gauge here>>>
