Ratio OO Wagon Weighbridge Kit

One of the fundamental aspects of safety on the railway was that wagons should never be overloaded. To do so would risk trains not having sufficient braking capacity to slow and stop safely. To manage loading at many industrial locations, each wagon would pass over a Weighbridge - to check their weight. Each wagon would display its tare weight, which could be deducted from the total weight, to ascertain the net weight of the load - simple mathematics! The new Ratio kit is a great representation of a typical Weighbridge, not dissimilar to the one, once located at Shildon Wagon Works in the North East. Combining a mixture of materials, the plastic parts make up the hut and laser-cut wood parts form the actual weighing scales, which fit in and around a length of ST-201 PECO Setrack track, included in the kit. Another useful addition to the extensive range of Ratio OO/HO scale railway structure kits.

It's always good to see new kits becoming available.

Hi Kevin, this comment isn't about the weigh bridge but about your last video on Parkside kits. Personally, I think it's good news that model kits of rolling stock are still being produced to allow modellers an affordable way of producing a relatively scale goods train. What I would like to see from Peco is the return of the Wonderful Wagon Kits. I know that they still produce, or at least I think that they still produce the tanker wagons, as there appears to be lots about on the internet. But I would like to see the return of the coke, coal, and salt kits. We all rave about sprung buffers now, but Peco were producing these years ago, with working axleboxes and some decent weight to them! Have a quiet word, would you?
