FAQ – Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions – O-16.5 / NG7 4 Ton Sugar Cane / Peat Wagon

What scale is this wagon designed for?

This wagon is designed for O-16.5 / NG7 narrow gauge layouts, making it ideal for 7mm scale modellers running on 16.5mm track.

What do I get in the box?

You receive one 4 Ton Sugar Cane / Peat Wagon, including the wagon cage and chassis plus 2 fitted wheels and axles. Locomotives or any other wagons shown in photos are for scale and are available separately.

Are couplers included with the wagon?

The wagon can be supplied with or without NEM couplers, and it has an easy-fit arrangement so you can add your own couplings or choose a close-coupler option as offered in the listing.

Is the wagon ready to run out of the box?

Yes, it is supplied with free-running POM wheelsets and a pre-coloured brown basket with black chassis, so it can be placed straight on the track and run, or you can customise it with paint and weathering.

What are the dimensions of the wagon?

The wagon measures approximately 65mm in length, 55mm in width, and 55mm in height, making it a compact and versatile item for narrow gauge scenes.

What types of loads is this wagon suitable for?

It is ideal for sugar cane, peat, or general light freight loads, and works well in industrial, agricultural, or estate railway settings on your layout.

What material is the wagon made from?

The wagon is 3D printed in PLA bio-plastic, an eco-friendly material that is suitable for hobby use, easy to paint, and compatible with common modelling glues such as superglue.

Is the model supplied assembled or as a kit?

The wagon is supplied unassembled and unpainted, with the main parts printed in colour. Some minor finishing, such as light sanding of print lines or joints, may be required before painting or final detailing.

Is the packaging environmentally friendly?

Yes, the wagon is supplied in eco-friendly packaging made from recycled materials, and the packaging itself is fully recyclable.

Can I add extra weight to the wagon?

Yes, the design leaves ample room inside the wagon or under the body to add stick-on weights if you want extra stability or improved train handling.

What paints and glues can I use on this wagon?

The PLA bio-plastic can be painted with acrylic or enamel paints, and parts can be glued using superglue (cyanoacrylate). Always test on a small hidden area first if you are unsure.

Does this wagon match other items in your range?

Yes, it is part of the EZ-PZ range, so you can find matching locomotives and wagons in the same style and scale in our other listings.

The wheels do not roll freely. What should I check?

First, ensure the axles are fully seated in their axleboxes and that no flash or stray printing residue is rubbing on the wheels. A light pass with fine sandpaper or a small file around the inside of the axle slots can help. Do not force the axles; they should click or sit snugly and spin freely.

The wagon rocks or wobbles on the track. How can I fix this?

Check that both wheelsets are fully pushed home and parallel. Make sure there is no debris on the wheel treads or in the flangeways. Adding a small amount of stick-on weight centrally in the wagon body can also improve stability.

My couplers are sitting too high or too low. What can I do?

Confirm that the coupler shanks are correctly seated in the NEM pockets or mounting points, and that no paint or plastic is obstructing their movement. If you are fitting your own couplers, use a coupler height gauge and pack or shim the pocket as needed.

The paint is not sticking well to the surface. How do I improve adhesion?

Before painting, wash the parts gently in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry completely to remove any dust or handling oils. Lightly key the surface with very fine sandpaper or a sanding sponge, then use a suitable primer recommended for plastics before applying acrylic or enamel top coats.

There are visible layer lines on the 3D printed parts. Can I smooth them?

Yes, minor finishing is expected. Use fine wet-and-dry paper or sanding sticks to gently smooth any visible layer lines or joints, taking care not to remove too much detail. After sanding, wipe away dust before priming and painting.

The wheels are derailing on my layout. What should I look at?

Check that your track is clean, level, and free of tight kinks, especially on points and curves. Make sure the wheelsets are properly seated and square in the chassis, and that back-to-back spacing is consistent. Adding a little weight to the wagon can also help it track better.

Do I need to glue any parts during assembly?

Depending on how you choose to finish the model, you may wish to use a small amount of superglue to secure any separate parts or details. Always dry-fit first to confirm alignment before applying glue.

How should I prepare the wagon for painting?

Dry-fit all parts to understand how they go together, then disassemble if required. Clean the parts with warm soapy water, lightly sand any rough areas, and let everything dry. Apply a suitable primer for plastic, then build up colour coats in thin layers.

Can I repaint over the pre-coloured brown and black parts?

Yes, the pre-coloured brown body and black underframe can be overpainted. Just treat them as you would any plastic model: clean, lightly sand if needed, prime, and then apply your chosen colour scheme and weathering.

What type of loads look best in this wagon?

It is designed with sugar cane and peat in mind, but it also looks excellent with general light freight such as cut logs, sacks, crates, or loose scenic materials to represent bulk loads.

Any tips for weathering this wagon for a realistic look?

Start with a base coat over the pre-coloured plastic if desired, then add washes of darker browns and blacks to pick out the basket texture and chassis detail. Dry-brush lighter tones on raised edges and use powders or pigments to simulate dirt, peat, or sugar residue in and around the wagon body.
