S Scale (3/16" - 12")

On this page there are listed a range of items produced for Modellers in S gauge. As stated elsewhere we are not currently producing these items but some may still be in stock. It is our intention to eventully produce these items to a level that would maintain a constant stock, however until that time due to the narrow appeal of this scale we will only produce items as time allows or if there is sufficient demand to produce the economic quantities.

They comprise a black ABS moulded plastic centre which is pressed in to a bright steel tyre that has been turned to the recommended S gauge profile.

These kits are designed for wagons having a channel solebar and available in both 9' and 10' wheelbase versions. They come with the well proven rocking 'W' iron compensation system but provision is made for a rigid chassis to be built if preferred.
