Three wagon multi-pack, NER 4T Chaldron

Pack M: Seaham Dock Co. - Three 4T ‘Black Waggons’, in three body styles, circa 1950s, numbered:

  • 11
  • 39
  • 18

Each pack produced has been themed by colliery, and each waggon depicted is based on photographic evidence and reference to colliery records to confirm lettering styles. Some packs contain just one style of waggon, while others contain mixed styles where research has shown that they operated in conjunction with each other. 

Specification List:

  • Die-cast metal chassis with plastic body. Weight of 9g unloaded.
  • Operates over minimum radius curves (371mm, 1st radius set-track)
  • Five different body designs, covering a time period from 1840 to 1978.
  • Three styles of wheel design; split spoke, star spoke and wave spoke, to a blackened 00 gauge RP25-88 profile.
  • Three styles of braking arrangement and brake handles, with different block types and the more complicated Londonderry clasp type brake.
  • Three arrangements of ‘bang-boards’.
  • Additional, removable ‘greedy boards’ (horizontal board extensions to the body) to the Shildon Works built Chaldron, giving an increased coal loading.
  • Scale width wire handrails, metal pin jaw coupling and wire/etch handbrake levers.
  • Eroded metal/plastic detail parts, including grab handles, door securing pins, chassis chain points and safety chains in metal.
  • Wagons connected via an all new link fine chain with Neodymium magnetic heads, connected at the wagon via prototypical cotter pin coupling.
  • Two extra NEM fitted magnetic couplings supplied with wagon packs to allow for fitting to locomotives and/or additional rolling stock.
  • Artwork features authentic colliery markings and numbers, accurate to time period modelled and based on actual photographic evidence where possible.
  • Additional research assistance provided by Beamish Living Museum, Bowes Railway and the North Eastern Railway Association.

Chaldron Coal Load - Short Version (Triple Pack)

This is my third pack of these brilliant little wagons.
I just love them.
The rake of wagons look great behind an 040 tank engine.

Excellent black waggons

These are perfect to run with era 1 (and even later) locomotives to try to represent the North Eastern mining heritage. They are tiny - reflecting their origin as 'horse powered' waggons used throughout the area before the development of steam powered winding engines and locomotive. They are exceptionally well made and securely packaged. Delivery is always very quick.

Great set of wagons

Very impressed with the quality in these wagons. Accurascale have captured the style of the early coal wagons expertly.
Another top product.

Fun little craft

To accompany a locomotive of the line La ligne Saint-Étienne à Andrézieux , I needed wagons suseptiblent look like those pulled by a Schneider frères et Cie . These are perfect. They are very light and so I added a little bit of ballast. There was a little paint under the chassis at the level of the axle of a wheel , I polished and oiled with a ceramic car oil ( I only had this ) it works rather not bad . Overall satisfied. I would not venture to graft brass or bronze bearings to perfect the bearing.

Chaldron Wagons

Really first rate models. Finely detailed, for such small models. The magnetic couplers are very good, with a positive connection every time. For such small and comparatively light wagons, they ride smoothly without any problems. The packaging also deserves mention, quite the best I have seen, real quality. All this is rounded off with a discount on multiple purchases. What more can one ask.

Delightfully Quirky Wagons 2

I bought these out of curiosity, mainly for display, along with the Vane/Londonderry models. The variation within this wagon type is amazing and Accurascale have captured this well.
