NEW ONLINE OUTLETS

It has been long while since this page was updated but as there have been no additions to the range there has been little news to report.

The kits are still very much in production though, on a limited run basis as ever, and we now have two outlets where you can buy them online.

The newcomer is Narrow Planet, who supply the etched brass frets used in the kits, and have expanded their website.

The full range also remains available online from the Ffestiniog Railway shop.

BALLAST WAGON KIT RELEASED

I am delighted to announce that production has commenced of our latest 4mm / 009 kit for the ex-SAR NGY ballast wagons. Examples of these wagons can be found on the Welsh Highland Railway and the Vale of Rheidol Railway in Wales.

The kit mostly composed of cast resin pieces with some etched brass components to make the bogies, the handwheels and cogs for the ballast door mechanism.

These photos show a kit completed and painted.

Parts not included in the kit are wheels and brass bearings for the bogies and 0.5mm and 0.7mm brass wire. From early September this kits will be available from the Ffestiniog Railway's online shop Festshop.co.uk

I am also able to take advance reservations direct priced at £35 + £2.50 p&p although kits ordered now may not be available until October as we are busy working through orders previously received. Email bostonlargsworks (at) btinternet (dot) com for more details.
