We are importing & stocking the full range of Black Beetle Motor Bogie
Units, Black Bug Drive Units & Steam Era Models Nickle Silver plain disc
Wheelsets in 12mm & 14mm.

The Black Beetle twin axle motor units are available from stock in wheel
Centres ranging from 25.5mm to 40mm with wheel diamentions of 10.5mm, 12mm & 14mm.

Black Bug drive units are available with a single pre-assembled axle,mounted with either 12mm & 14mm wheels.

Steam Era Models produce some quality wheelsets made from Nickle Silver,
These are available in either 12mm & 14mm.

All the above ranges are available in '00' , EM & P4.

Also carried are 12mm & 14mm UK produced wheelsets designed for replacing
Lima 24.5mm Axles. Other wheels carried are Romford Locomotive Wheels &
Axles ranging from 13mm - 20mm along with a range of gearboxes to suit
Mashima 1.5mm motor shafts.

20th August 2007 - New Products - Wickham's Type 27 Motorised Ganger Trolley - As built and reviewed in the November Model Rail.

This item is now available in 4mm Scale and can be ordered in '00','EM' Gauges. P4 will possibly be available later due to demand.
Kit contains a One Piece finecast resin body moulding, including footsteps and bodyside canvas rain sheets, glazing is provided to enhance the model even though the actual cab windows are solid, but recessed by 0.5mm and when painted black and overlayed with the glazing the effect looks acceptable.
The heart of the model is the smallest unit available from the innovative Australian Bull Ant range, this unit has a Mashima 5 pole flat can motor with a Brass flywheel, driving through a end mounted 20:1 Gearbox.
The unit has 7mm Nickle silver wheelsets attached to two small gearboxes with a layshaft drive. The wheelbase is a whopping 15.5mm.
Additional weight is highly recommended as without it the wheelsets get dirty as without weight the wheels do not slip & spin and have no way of self cleaning themselves.
The Wickham's Type 27 Ganger's Trolley retails for £48.50, all that is required is Engineers Olive Green, Roof Grey & Black paints to complete the job, Warning Yellow is required for there later years.

Livery:
Olive Green 1960s-1970s
Yellow with Black Solebar & footsteps 1970s-1980s
Yellow with Black Warning Stripes (Like diesel shunters) 1980s-2000.
