Ready to Run wagons

As of January 2026, I am ceasing to produce kits of several of my wagons.

However, as three share the same 9ft wheelbase, it is my hope that we can recreate these through the medium of 3D printing and provide customers with an almost Ready to Run vehicle. The wagons are the GNR cattle wagon, its close cousin the SLNCR cattle wagon and finally the GNR 9 ton van (which, while sharing the same wheelbase, is slightly longer).

A fourth wagon is also planned, the Railway Clearing House (RCH) 10 ton unfitted van, as it would have run on CIE. I have previously made a kit of this wagon in its GNR form, but the GSWR, GSR and MGWR produced wagons to the basic RCH pattern, with minor differences as they would have used existing components commonly used on their railways. There is photographic evidence of some of these vans being still in use in 1970, and probably later on CIE.

I would intend to produce some in GNR livery also.

Also, although maybe for 2027, now that drawings have surfaced of the GSR horsebox, courtesy of Paul Molyneaux-Berry, at last this gap in the wagon stock might be filled. (I haven’t forgotten the GNR one, which would be more up my street, but we’ll see how 2026 pans out!).

In this project, I am working with Enda Byrne of CK Prints, who already sells my kits and wagons in the Republic of Ireland. I heartily recommend his excellent wagons to you. See:

Former GNR Bagged Cement vans

Two different versions are available. A GNR-liveried wagon and one in CIE all-over bauxite livery with a plain white “Broken Wheel” symbol. These vans were built in 1954 – 6 for carrying cement in bags from the cement factory at Drogheda. They were later used as simple vans for general traffic.
