Uskin Models
« on: June 28, 2020, 03:08:32 pm »
Thought I'd take the opportunity to introduce Uskin Models to this site.

The main purpose of our products is to help others create more realistic models using Wilesco traction engines and rollers as the starting point... so here goes, 90% of our products are lost wax brass castings many of these we produce to order

First off is our fire iron set TE1 comprising, fire dropping shovel, pricker bar, ash pan rake and short handles firing shovel
£13.90 + P&P

Look to be a nice size ... I suspect that they'd fit in well with garden railroading also.

Their based on 7/8ths scale as it's the nearest scale I can make work for Wilesco mobiles, in fact all of our products are based on this formula

Our TE14 swivel seat can be fitted to any Wilesco traction or roller, this works best if the engine is run without the canopy allowing the seat to be mounted further back
