1pt Oil Bottle Half Size Oil Bottle - Handmade - Norfolk Tinman
The perfect Christmas gift and we have just re-stocked ready for any last minute purchases before the big day. These oil bottles are completely handmade by the Norfolk Tinman using only traditional tinsmithing methods, they are an absolute work of art and made exclusively for MRW.
If your loved one has a traction engine or locomotive they have capacity for enough oil to last most miniature loco’s/traction engines over a week. These bottles are ideal companions when visiting steam rallies or events. Commonly used as a pair where one bottle is larger than the other, this 1pt pairs with our 3pt bottle where the larger would be used for general lube and the smaller for steam oil.
Locomotive Rolling Road For Miniature Trains Made By MRW
Available in 3 1/2 inch gauge, 5 inch gauge, and 7 1/4 inch gauge.
Rolling roads are ideal for testing locomotives. Built from 6mm steel plate and using sealed roller bearings, these rolling roads are sturdy and durable and an excellent tool for anyone looking to rebuild and maintain miniature locomotives. All our new rolling roads are adjustable for different wheel sizes.
Bar & Pin - Colin E. Chopper Large Head Coupling
Available as an assembled pre-welded product or as a kit you build yourself. Chopper couplings are common around the world especially on narrow gauge railways but they have not been widely adopted in the miniature railway hobby as they are not normally cross compatible with other coupling types without complex adaptors. These chopper couplings are designed to work with a bar allowing them to connect to other types of coupling without issue.
We have good stock levels of these running up to Christmas, and the website is kept up to date with current stock levels.
