Kit type
This is a 3D printed item, using a fine ABS like resin and is a complete body (with separate detail parts) to create an O scale Darjeeling and Himalayan Railway narrow gauge 4 wheel steel van (7mm / foot) running on 16.5mm track.
 
This is a scale replica of the popular 4 wheel steel van used extensively across the Darjeeling and Himalayan Railway. It includes the full brake gear and corrugated iron roof.
 
It has been designed to run on Alan Gibson 10.5mm disc wheels (available as an option - subject to availability). It was specially commissioned by a modeller to add to his DHR O16.5 gauge railway.

Photos 1 and 2 are of an example of the set of parts as you will receive them, comprising of:

- main body
- chassis
- axleboxes
- brake gear linkages and brake hangers
- roof
- NEM slotted coupling bars
- buffers
- 6mm M2 machine screws for fixing the coupling bars to the chassis

The model requires 0.5mm brass rod to complete, as well as a few modelling skills. You probably already have the brass rod in your modelling stash, but this is available as an option, if required.

Photos 3 onwards show the body assembled with optional brass rod and wheels.

These are genuine photos taken with a full frame 35mm SLR and not digital representations. 

Photo 8 is used by kind permission of PLS who has chronicled the build of the wagon in  this kit in the NGRM-online forum. It has been built using the parts in this kit. 

The holes for brass rod will need a quick clean out with a suitable drill bit and brass rod added.

The body includes swivelling coupling bars (to deal with the large wagon overhangs) with NEM pockets to accept a variety of couplings. M2 machine screws are provided for attaching them.

Bear in mind the size of these items when looking at the detail in the photos.

Please ask if you have any questions or if you need more than are listed.
