Three wagon multi-pack, NER 4T Chaldron

Pack D: Pontop & Jarrow Railway - Two ex-NER P1 style Chaldrons and an S&DR style Chaldron in pre-1932 lettering, circa 1910. 

Containing three wagons, numbered:

• 405
• 460
• 92

Each pack produced has been themed by colliery, and each waggon depicted is based on photographic evidence and reference to colliery records to confirm lettering styles. Some packs contain just one style of waggon, while others contain mixed styles where research has shown that they operated in conjunction with each other. 

Specification List:

• Die-cast metal chassis with plastic body. Weight of 9g unloaded.
• Operates over minimum radius curves (371mm, 1st radius set-track)
• Five different body designs, covering a time period from 1840 to 1978.
• Three styles of wheel design; split spoke, star spoke and wave spoke, to a blackened 00 gauge RP25-88 profile.
• Three styles of braking arrangement and brake handles, with different block types and the more complicated Londonderry clasp type brake.
• Three arrangements of ‘bang-boards’.
• Additional, removable ‘greedy boards’ (horizontal board extensions to the body) to the Shildon Works built Chaldron, giving an increased coal loading.

• Eroded metal/plastic detail parts, including grab handles, door securing pins, chassis chain points and safety chains in metal.
• Wagons connected via an all new link fine chain with Neodymium magnetic heads, connected at the wagon via prototypical cotter pin coupling.
• Two extra NEM fitted magnetic couplings supplied with wagon packs to allow for fitting to locomotives and/or additional rolling stock.
• Artwork features authentic colliery markings and numbers, accurate to time period modelled and based on actual photographic evidence where possible.
