What exactly is included in this OO9 Round Ended Wagon kit?
The kit includes one unpainted resin Round Ended wagon body only. It is designed to fit onto a Peco NR-121D 10ft wheelbase chassis, which is not included. Any painted wagon shown in photos is for illustration and inspiration only.
Which chassis and track does this wagon body work with?
The body is designed specifically for the Peco NR-121D 10ft wheelbase chassis. It is OO9 scale, so it runs on 9mm gauge track (the same gauge as N scale track, but with OO scale proportions). You will need to supply the Peco chassis separately.
What skill level is this kit aimed at?
This is a beginner-friendly kit. Assembly is straightforward: fit the resin body to the Peco NR-121D chassis, prime, paint, and it is ready for the layout. Basic modelling skills such as careful handling, light sanding, and brush or airbrush painting are all that is required.
Is the wagon supplied painted or ready-to-run?
No, the wagon is supplied unpainted and unassembled. You receive a UV-cured, hand-finished resin body that you will need to prime, paint, and mount on your own Peco NR-121D chassis before use on your layout.
What kind of layouts is this wagon suitable for?
The Round Ended Wagon is ideal for OO9 narrow gauge layouts representing quarry lines, industrial systems, and light railways. Its compact size and characterful bodywork make it a good fit for small shunting scenes and industrial sidings.
How durable is the resin body?
The body is UV-cured resin and has been hand-finished to remove supports. While suitable for normal layout use, resin is inherently fragile, so it should be handled with care during assembly, painting, and operation. The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage after delivery.
The body does not seem to sit correctly on my Peco NR-121D chassis. What should I check?
First ensure you are using the correct Peco NR-121D 10ft wheelbase chassis. Check for any small bits of resin or flash on the underside of the body and lightly sand or trim them away. Make sure the chassis itself is square and free of moulding sprues before test-fitting again.
My primer is not adhering well to the resin. How can I improve this?
Lightly wash the resin body in mild soapy water, rinse, and allow it to dry completely to remove any remaining dust or handling oils. Then use a suitable primer such as Simonez or an automotive primer applied in thin coats. Once the primer has fully cured, acrylic paints should adhere much better.
The surface looks slightly rough in places. Is this normal?
Minor sanding or clean-up may be required on UV-cured resin parts, especially where supports were removed. Use fine wet-and-dry paper or sanding sticks to gently smooth any rough areas before priming. Avoid heavy pressure to prevent damaging fine details.
I accidentally snapped a small detail while handling the body. Can it be repaired?
Small resin breaks can often be repaired with a suitable model glue or cyanoacrylate (super glue). Carefully align the broken piece, apply a tiny amount of glue, and let it fully cure before handling again. Take extra care when sanding or fitting the body to the chassis to avoid further stress on delicate parts.
The paint finish looks patchy or uneven. What might be causing this?
Patchy finishes are usually caused by insufficient priming, thick paint coats, or painting onto a dusty surface. Ensure the body is clean, apply a smooth coat of Simonez or automotive primer, let it cure, and then build up your acrylic colour in several thin layers rather than one heavy coat.
How should I prepare the resin body before assembly?
Inspect the body for any remaining support marks or flash and gently remove them with a sharp blade or fine sanding stick. A quick wash in mild soapy water followed by thorough drying will help the primer adhere and remove any dust from hand-finishing.
What primer should I use on this wagon body?
The manufacturer recommends Simonez or an automotive primer. Apply in light, even coats and allow it to fully cure before adding acrylic paints. A good primer coat helps reveal any small imperfections that may need a final light sand.
Which paints work best for finishing the wagon?
Acrylic paints are recommended over the primer. They are easy to work with, dry quickly, and allow you to build up colour in thin layers. You can use either brush painting or airbrushing, depending on your preference and available tools.
When should I fit the body to the chassis—before or after painting?
Many modellers find it easiest to test-fit the body to the Peco NR-121D chassis first, make any minor adjustments, then remove it for priming and painting. Once the paint is fully cured, you can refit the body to the chassis, taking care not to scratch the finish.
Any tips for handling the model during painting and finishing?
Because the resin is fragile, avoid gripping thin edges or fine details. Hold the body by more solid areas or temporarily mount it on a holder or stick while painting. Work in thin coats, allowing each layer to dry, and store the model safely between sessions to avoid accidental knocks.
