Owner, Bowaters models
We're delighting to announce we've finally released the first phase of the Burma Mines Railway Range along with our 7/8ths Scale Bowaters Paper Railway redesign.
-Burma Mines Railway-
Designed by Richard Williams, these stock are amongst the highest detailed models currently available from Bowaters Models and are definitely a sign of things to come! Suitable for both 32mm and 45mm gauges, these wagons are the perfect addition to your garden railway for those looking for something different! Each wagon scales out at a scale 25ft long each. For those wondering, there are at least 1-2 more kits to go with these in the works for a release at a later date including a 4 wheeled version of the Bogie Van!
For those wondering, the minimum radius of these stock with the chopper couplings being used as supplied is 4ft. However, when you remove the springs from them, they will happily go around 38 inch radius curves.
The prices for them are as follows - The Flat Wagon is £45, the Coke (Open) Wagon is £50, the Tank wagon is £55 and Bogie Van is £65. All prices are for MDF with Plywood being £15 more. Please note, the MDF Bogie Van kit does include some Plywood parts to better represent the prototype
-7/8ths Scale Bowaters Paper Railway Rolling Stock Mark 2-
Designed in house by Jon, this stock represents a massive improvement over the original with a significantly improved design along with the correct pattern Bogies for the wagons in question. Covering the same 4 wagon designs, these wagons are suitable for both 32mm and 45mm gauges. These have a minimum radius of 5ft using chopper couplings with a much smaller radius being suitable using 3 link couplings. While there is no suitable motive power kit available yet, we are working on upscaling our Hudson Hunslet Victor kit in 16mm to 7/8ths scale to match these wagons. Details on Victor will follow at a later date. Same with our 16mm versions, these wagons come with Accucraft Chopper Couplings which are the correct style for the prototype. We are looking at some dumb buffer versions as a future release.
The prices for them are as follows - The Flat wagon is £60 in MDF and £75 in Plywood. The Pulp Wagons are £65 in MDF and £80 in Plywood. All kits are available without bogies and couplings.
You can find both ranges on our website today!
