Petrol Bowser Wagon – Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is included in the petrol bowser wagon kit?

The kit includes one bogie frame, two coupling blocks, two tank supports, one single hollow petrol drum, a pump frame, a pump, a pair of 12.5mm spoked diameter wheels, and a card disk to glue to the bottom of the drum. All parts are supplied unassembled in high-quality resin, ready for you to prime and paint.

What scale or gauge is this wagon designed for?

This petrol bowser wagon is designed specifically for GN-15 operations, making it ideal for layouts built to that standard.

Does the wagon come pre-assembled or pre-painted?

No, the wagon comes unassembled and unpainted. It is supplied as separate resin parts so you can assemble, prime, and paint it to suit your own layout and weathering style.

What material are the parts made from?

All the main components are made from high-quality resin. The kit also includes a card disk for the base of the hollow petrol drum.

Are the wheels included and what size are they?

Yes, a pair of 12.5mm spoked diameter wheels is included in the kit. These are intended to match the sturdy look of the bowser wagon on your GN-15 layout.

Is this wagon suitable for use as a diesel tanker as well?

Yes, while described as a petrol bowser wagon, it is also suitable for representing a small diesel tanker on your layout, depending on how you paint and detail it.

Why do some parts have visible support marks?

During production, supports are used to create the resin parts. Although these are carefully removed, some faint support marks may remain. A little fine sanding will usually remove or greatly reduce them before priming and painting.

What should I do if a resin part arrives slightly warped or uneven?

Mild warping can often be corrected by very gently sanding or carefully adjusting the part during assembly. Always test-fit before gluing. If a part is badly distorted, contact your seller with photos so they can advise on the best solution.

How can I reduce the risk of breakages during assembly?

Resin can be delicate, so handle each piece carefully. Work on a soft surface, avoid forcing parts together, and use light pressure when sanding. Always dry-fit parts before gluing so you know they will sit correctly.

The wheels do not seem to sit level. What can I check?

First, ensure the bogie frame is clean and free of flash or bumps where the wheels sit. Lightly sand any high spots and check that both wheelsets are fully seated and aligned. Small adjustments to the axle seating can help the wagon sit level on the track.

The drum feels unstable on the tank supports. How can I fix this?

Check that the tank supports are fully cleaned up and square. Lightly sand the contact areas on both the drum and supports, then test-fit until the drum sits snugly. When satisfied, glue carefully and allow it to cure fully before handling.

How should I assemble the resin parts for best results?

Work in stages, starting with the bogie frame and wheels, then adding the coupling blocks, tank supports, drum, and finally the pump frame and pump. Always dry-fit before gluing, and use a suitable adhesive for resin. Allow each joint to set before moving on to the next step.

Do I need to sand the parts before painting?

Yes, some fine sanding is recommended. Lightly sand away any support marks and gently smooth the surfaces where needed. This helps improve the fit of parts and gives a better finish once primed and painted.

How should I prepare the resin for priming and painting?

After any sanding, remove dust from the parts. Ensure the surfaces are clean and dry, then apply a suitable primer for resin. Once the primer has fully cured, you can apply your chosen paint scheme and weathering.

What kind of paint finish suits this petrol bowser wagon?

That is entirely up to your layout style. A common approach is to use a solid base colour for the wagon and drum, then add subtle weathering to suggest fuel spills, grime, and general wear. The unassembled resin kit gives you full freedom to customise the finish.

How can I use the card disk that comes with the kit?

The card disk is designed to be glued to the bottom of the hollow petrol drum. This closes the base, makes handling easier, and gives a more complete look once the drum is mounted on its supports and painted.
