EWS 50ton Bogie Rail Wagon - YSA/Salmon

Used for carrying rails & track panels. About 300 Salmon wagons were fitted with ASF bogies from 1998, enabling them to run at higher speeds, some as high as 75mph.

From 2009, a number (199) were fitted with large tubular frames to locate track panels.

These are painted bright yellow, but the rest of the wagon remained in the condition/livery it had already (regardless of how tatty it was). These are YKA Osprey (curiously for an engineers' wagon, not a marine creature!).

Plastic Model Kit. Require glue, paint, transfers, couplings, wheels (26mm axles & brass bearings) to complete.

Alan Gibson Wheels compatible : 12mm 10 spoked
