Specifications

GWR 40 Ton Bogie Loco Coal Wagon.

In 1904, the first 40 ton bogie coal wagon was built, the prototype being numbered 54000, being built to lot 507, a further 10 wagons were built under this lot, numbers 539905 (renumbered 3049530500 in 1907) (renumbered again in 1928 to 539616) Also numbers 539969 (built 1905) number 53996 of this batch, sold to war dept. in 1915. These 11 wagons had a single cross shaft under the middle of the wagon, with D.C. ratchet brakes linked to both bogies, the distance between bogie centres being 31 foot. Numbers 54000 &539905 (original numbers) had top swing doors above the side doors, these were given Diagram N1 and the remaining 4 wagons were given Diagram N11.

N14.

In 1907, a further 4 wagons were built under the same Lot 507, but were given a separate Diagram N14 because these wagons had two separate D.C. brake systems, one for each bogie, with the ratchet, crosshaft and levers at each headstock, the bogie centres remained at 31 foot.

N15.

Again in 1907, a pair of wagons were built, this time to Lot 552, Diagram N15 numbers 53994 and 53992 number 53994 was sold to the war department in 1915. The bogie centres were increased to 33’6" with two separate D.C. brake systems, being placed inboard of the bogies.

All the above wagons were painted all over Black with White numbers, it is not certain when these vehicles were scraped except for a photo of No. 54000 taken in 1948.

Grey 2 part Etch Primer Kit

Grey 2 Part Etch Primer

Suitable for non ferrous AND ferrous metals. Extremely easy to use. Mix equal quantities together and you have an etch primer that works every time on properly cleaned, using PQ17, metals. (Note that the etching action is ineffective on stainless steel,because it is acid resistant, or zinc coated steel (galvanised) unless it has been allowed to age out-doors for about 24 months.)

Supplied as either a 60ml, 125ml or 250ml pack.

Contains either 30ml and 30ml,

125ml and 125ml or

250ml and 250ml of Black Primer and PQ32 Activated Thinners

Instructions

DO NOT Abrade the surface to be etched.

DO NOT polish or ‘buff up’ the surface to be etched.

Etched Primers work FAR better on dull tarnished surfaces than they do on bright shiney, polished or ‘roughed’ up surfaces.

Degrease the surface to be etch primed with the strongest solvent available.

We would recommend PQ17 Pre Paint Cleaner.

Degrease a minimum of 3 times to ensure a chemically clean surface.

DO NOT use washing up liquid as it contains a chemical coating to ensure that crockery etc. ‘sparkles’.

Whilst this coating is harmless for most puposes it reacts with paint and primers causing problems for the unwary modeller.

After degreasing do not touch the surfaces to be primed.

Mix equal quantities of the Activated Thinners with the primer

Spraying pot life is appoximately 3 hours.

Etch primer cannot be sprayed satisfactorily through either an external mix airbrush or a very fine internal mix airbrush.

We would recommend the Badger 200 single action airbrush for all etch primers.

To Brush - Mix and allow to stand for 2 - 3 hours in an open container to thicken up.

Apply one Very Thin coat to the substrate to be primed. It should be just possible to see the substrate through the primer.

Clean Equipment with PQ17 Pre Paint Cleaner.

The primer will only start to etch AFTER IT IS DRY.

Allow a minimum of 24 - 36 hours at a minimum of 18 - 20ºc before applying topcoats.
