These were spread throughout the train and turned so the brake handles were all on the same side of the train, pointing towards Porthmadog. Different colours painted on the side bars denoted the various slate quarry companies; our packs feature random selections of these. As these wagons tend to run in long rakes, the models have semi-permanent close-couplings fitted in their NEM pockets. These can be pulled out with fine nosed pliers and replaced with conventional OO-9 hoop-and-loop couplings (supplied) at each end of the rake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_dtc_list\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePECO 009 Irregular and Mainline Code 80 Setrack and Streamline track systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PECO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55515094811004,"sku":"GR-602B","price":68.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/8584\/0033\/files\/GR-321_e1cf6297-0dd7-4f9e-b16b-c716fac99056.jpg?v=1752140914","url":"https:\/\/sussex-model-centre.co.uk\/products\/peco-f-r-bowsider-short-red-cream-no-18-oo-9-gr-602b","provider":"Sussex Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
