COMMONWEALTH OIL CORPORATION

WOLGAN VALLEY RAILWAY
HO & O scale

all 2nd and 1st/2nd available

Of interest to Australian modellers, these coaches were used on the Commonwealth Oil Corporation, Wolgan Valley Railway. These coaches are very suitable for use with the "Shays" as used on the WVR and for layouts based on the Shale Railways of NSW.

bottom line: Wolgan 1/2 coach prototype and completed HO model of all 2 coach

Steam And Things started these kits as a special "HO" commission and the customer was prepared for certain compromises from the cost point of view. Therefore models are dimensionally based on our scale kit for the "Selsey Falcons". The Selsey Falcons were smaller that the WVR stock and so the latter "look right" in the appropriate scale scale.

Dimensional information for the Wolgan coaches such as there is, is:
(HO dimensions taken off a line drawing in "Shale Railways of NSW", which we have taken as being in that scale)

These models are NOT for true to prototype, ultrascale models, but very (our opinion) "realistic" look-alikes, with correct window numbers, planking effect etc, although the lack of good quality photographs mean that a certain amount of inspired guess work was required.

Phototools are available for the sides and ends. Castings are not available.

We print our own decals, so these are available in any scale. Though if you are ordering for your own scratch built models the exact scale (3.5mm, 1/4" or 7mm) must be stipulated.
