missing cardboard label insert The Hornby R6158 6 Wheel Palethorpes Sausage Van is a detailed model replica of a Great Western Railway (GWR) freight wagon in OO scale. This maroon coloured van, manufactured in 2004, is made of pressed steel, plastic, and diecast materials. It features an analogue control system and operates on a two-rail system, perfect for collectors and model railway enthusiasts. The advertising specimen van is a great addition to any transportation-themed railway collection, representing the era of the Big Four railways in the early to mid-20th century.
Well modelled wagon true to prototype.
Interesting construction with independent sub-chassis for middle wheels including axleboxes, horn-guides and springs construct which moves laterally to accommodate curves and includes links to guide the couplings appropriately; this seems to be identical to the much older Hornby R670 tooling for the maroon "Palethorpe's" vans.
