Jerry Irwin 16mm rolling stock
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2019 5:03 pm
A new player in the field of rolling stock manufacture, Jerry Irwin makes excellent 16mm scale models which can be supplied ready to run, unfinished, for you to paint yourself. This is a very cost effective way of building up a stable of stock. Currently there are 9 different models to choose from, with more on the drawing board.
They are made from high quality MDF which takes paint well. Supplied with Binnie wheels on steel axles running in ball-races they run very smoothly. I have just completed a brake van for a friend and have been most impressed with the design and build quality..... Minimum preparation was required for spray painting the main body with one coat of primer and two top coats, which give a perfect finish. The brake-gear is particularly well designed and bolt-heads clearly defined on the chassis and strapping. Buffers are supplied but not fitted as there is a vertical slot to select a height to suit your existing vehicles.....
Another of his superb kits is a bridge of 1 metre span with twin tracks capacity capable of 13kg per track. Available in kit form only with over 500 laser cut parts! Stress testing can be seen at....
