Festiniog
Railway Disc Signal Kit
The kit is
etched in nickel silver and features lost wax brass lamp and base
details, and includes both a disc head and a rectangular "Tunnel Board"
as used at Moelwyn Tunnel. The base, ladder and platform are folded
from one component to ensure that all are square and at the correct
angle, and of course the disc operating rod rotates correctly in the
post to allow for realistic operation if required. We provide a crank
for the bottom of the operating rod to link to a commercial point motor
or similar mechanism. Wire is provided for handrails and only paint is
required to complete the kit. The kit can be glued but we'd recommend
soldering.
The Tunnel Board signals were of the same design as the disc, except
that the disc was replaced with a large rectangular board. This was
possibly to allow for better sighting by crews on the approach to
Moelwyn tunnel as the head of the signal could not be silhouetted in
daylight due to the location (but I might be wrong!).
- Price: £9.00
for one kit to build ONE Disc OR
Tunnel Board signal

Railway 3-ton slate wagon loads
Our highly detailed
resin-cast loads take the drudgery our of loading those long trains of
slate wagons! They are available in packs of five loads to fit Parkside
Dundas 3-ton (DM53). They only weigh a few grammes*, so they provide
just enough weight to give these tiny wagons more stability without
over-taxing your locos. The photo shows a painted load in a 3-ton
FR slate wagon (wagon not supplied). The loads are supplied
unpainted.
* We reckon
they're actually about 3g each, but they're so light that we
don't have scales accurate enough to weigh them!

Festiniog Railway four-wheel brake van
This kit represents the
first brake vans used on the Festiniog Railway, three of which were
introduced for the advent of passenger traffic around 1864. It is
believed that the Festiniog Railway workshops at Boston Lodge built
them. They spent their entire working lives facing the same way, i.e.
with the balcony at the downhill, or western end of the train, and were
used to brake rakes of descending goods stock, which formed the first
part of downhill Festiniog trains during the 1860-80 period.

Price: £7.00
-
Parts Required: Peco 10'0" wheelbase
wagon chassis (available from Parkside Dundas - see Useful
Contacts for details), paint, transfers, couplings.

Festiniog Railway four-wheel coach
This kit can be constructed to
represent either of the original types of four wheel coach used
on the Festiniog Railway, which were introduced for the advent of
passenger traffic around 1864. Note that the kit contains enough parts
to build one coach. They were originally designated as First
and Third Class and the only visible difference was that 1st Class had
two equally-sized windows either side of a central door, while 3rd
Class had a central window with two smaller windows on either side, as
illustrated in this drawing.
-
Price: £8.00

Parts Required: Paint, transfers,
couplings.

Festiniog Railway bogie coach No.104
Number 104 was built in 1964 as the
prototype of the railway's "Centenary" stock, the first passenger
vehicles to be built by railway after preservation. An identical coach
numberered 106 was built in 1968. The kit represents 104 in its
original form before its extensive rebuild of 1986. The kit features a
fold-up body shell and a floor/chassis assembly which allows the floor,
interior seats and tables to be folded up from one component. The kit
also includes whells, bearings, lost wax brass bogie sides and all
required screws and nuts.
