ZXA Van Satlink (yellow/red) (R6265)

This is the newest version to the Hornby closed van range. Its previous version was in EWS livery. This model uses a similar chassis as the steal carrier although does appear to handle points better. It could do with some weight being added. This model has standard coupling and buffers. It does have metal wheels but they are a little shiny. Overall the model could do with being weathered to remove its plasticy look. Note: The coupling on this type of chassis is riveted on and if breaks, as one of mine did, they are difficult to repair. I had to supper glue mine back on. I don't know what I will do if it breaks again and I have to remove it.
