Moody, Sarpness, No.1 RRP £6.64 The Glynea wagon is finished in a chocolate brown livery with white lettering. Glynea Colliery was located off the Central Wales line and the wagons (there were 20 in total) would have travelled to the Welsh Borders and possibly to the S.W. Midlands. (source: Private Owner Wagons by Bill Hudson) A.E.Moody was a coal merchant who set up in business in 1907, but who obviously was not successful as the wagon did not last long in his ownership, being sold on to a new owner in July 1909. The livery is described as being 'purple brown', with white lettering shaded black. (source: Private Owner Wagons of Gloucestershire by Ian Pope) Both of these wagons are supplied with a removeable coal load.

SSMP199 corner fillets in action SSMP231 SS86	Wills Kits Model Makers accessories SSMP199 Kit Builders Corner Fillets RRP £1.75 SSMP231 Flexible Brick Lining RRP £2.90 SS86 Windows, Doors, Gates & Porch RRP £3.80 These three new products will be a boon to scratch builders and kit convertors. The Corner fillets are useful components that allow you to join walls together at 90 degrees, critical where buildings are concerned! (see accompanying photo). They also have secondary uses such as forming steps up an incline, or even those animal traps found alongside level crossings. The flexible brick lining sheets will be ideal for modelling the curve arch undersides of bridges and viaducts. Thinner than the normal Material Pack sheets. The new windows and doors pack gives the modeller a selection of different components for scratchbuilding.
5122 5124	Modelscene News - OO/HO 5122 Hikers RRP £4.10 5124 Boy Scouts & Trek Cart RRP £4.40 Two new 'people' accessories for the layout. These are in fact long-lost members of the original Merit range, but the tooling has been upgraded and we are pleased to be able to announce their return! Fully painted models.
LK-35	LK-35 Goods Yard Crane OO/HO RRP £10.75 This style of yard crane would have been common in goods yards up and down the country. Used for transferring all types of merchandise into and out of wagons, these hand-operated cranes were an essential facility. Our model faithfully captures the prototype well. Although not designed for operation by the modeller, careful assembly will allow the separate gears to turn, thus lowering or raising the hook! This is a very finely detailed plastic injection moulded kit, including a circular brick platform on which to mount the model. It will easily find a home on most layouts. Separate brass & nickel silver parts included. Available now!
NR-P176W	NR-P176W Highland Bitumens Tank Wagon - WEATHERED N Gauge RRP £9.25 New for PECO, we can now offer this wagon as a weathered version. Tank wagons especially were never clean, so the dirty look is very prototypical. Our weathering has a very individual look, being airbrushed in the factory to give an almost unique style for each wagon. Other wagons are in preparation. If you have any comments or feedback about which ones you would like to see weathered, please let us know. All of our wagons feature the very free-running hardlon wheels, the unique PECO 'elsie' N gauge coupling (which allows prototypical close coupling of wagons and is perfectly compatible with other similar N gauge couplings) and crisp, finely detailed printing.
