BR Salmons and Borail

Prototype Notes:

The Salmon is a flat wagon, measuring 62' 0" over headstocks for carrying 60' 0" lengths of rail or track panels. They have also been used without bolsters to carry bridge girders etc.
Built from the early 1950s, many of these wagons are still in use today. Salmons have GWR style plate bogies of either 8' 0" (long) wheelbase, which were fitted to about two thirds of the wagons, or standard 5' 6" (short) wheelbase.

Kit Notes:

Also required: 10.5mm disc wheels (4 axles) plus flanged (top-hat) bearings. 3-link or Hornby couplings can be fitted.

It is our policy that items will only be shown as in stock if we physically have the designated number of bagged kits or items to dispatch immediately. Continued high demand from our exhibition traders means that we are not holding as much 4mm stock as we would like. However out of stock items are available to pre-order. We are moulding new items every day and will prioritise production of pre-ordered items so that they will normally be available for dispatch within 3 days with the rest of your order. If your want to delay payment in these circumstances until you are sure that the items are ready then please use the Purchase Order option in the Checkout and we will send you an email link for payment when they are ready. We also accept orders for spare parts or part kits. Please use the contact form to make your enquiry about these or any other matters.
