  • Dapol Prestwin Twin Silo OO gauge plastic wagon kid

    This kit dates back to the 1960s when Airfix designed, made and sold via Woolworths, a range of two shilling boxed kits suitable for running on OO gauge layouts.Even after all this time, the kits remain some of the best ever made for the British market. The accuracy and engineering to make these wagons into accurate replicas in minature, with ease of build has never been surpassed. That said, care should be taken in building the Prestwin. Mine took two evenings of two or three hrs per session. It is possible, despite following the instructions (a lot smaller in reproduction than the former Airfix printed assembly guide) to build the silos wrongly- I did! When finished, the effort was worthwhile and I look forward to spray painting the model. You can brush paint it, but the superstructure ...

  • Not for the novice modeller.

    I had great difficulty trying to fit the sides of the under frame and positioning the wheels. This is possibly a lack of skill on my behalf. I just gave up. Sadly, I had bought two!! I am happy to admit that the low star marking is relative to me. A more skillful modeller might have given more stars and achieved a much better result. Roy Morley May ‘20

  • Building a Prestwin twin silo

    When made up, it is a impressive kit- the hard bit is the making.It is easy to make the up silos wrong! The middle ring with holes has to be the right way round and right way up. It is very easy to get this wrong. The silo tops with both centre and offset holes must point inwards. The original Airfix drawing was very good but didn’t show how ‘Murphy’s Law’ can strike. The rest of the kit assembles well with experience. The pipe parts are very delicate, best put on last. I always put brass cup bearings in the axleboxes (check you have clearance for the axle points- rebate moulded axle holes and use Hornby metal wheels, available in packs of I think ten or twelve axles.Before sticking the silos on, make sure you ballast the chassis. Ready made flat weights are now available to fit easily ...

  • Exellent for kitbashing

    I shall convert the Dapol silo wagon to the Finnish Silk silo wagon. The form and the dimensions on the silos are same. The Finnish wagon has three axles. So i shall use the Liliput chassis.
