The last day for shipping items before Christmas is Dec 20th for standard and the 21st for Express. Please make sure you placed orders in advance of these dates for the best chance of them being shipped before Christmas. On the 20th of Dec we will shut down production over the Christmas period. You can still place orders but they will not be shipped until the New Year. We will also still be responding to messages although it may take us longer than usual to do so. We will start back up on the 2nd of January, but it may take a couple of days for items to start shipping. Thank you to everyone who has ordered from us over the last year. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Daniel and Jessica
Due to the new GPSR regulations that will come into force from the 13th of December, we will no longer be shipping to the EU and Northern Ireland. Sadly the time and cost of setting this up is cost prohibitive.
Set of 6 3D printed aerial ropeway bucket scale models. Ideal items item for those modelling aerial ropeways on model railways or dioramas.
Aerial ropeways were a method to transport materials out of a colliery or quarry. Buckets like these models would hang on the cable of the ropeway and hold the material that was being moved.
These model aerial ropeway buckets include details such as the wheel carriage and hooks on the side of the bucket. Once assembled it can hang from a modelled cable (not included). At full scale each bucket measures just under 2m from the base of the bucket to the top of the wheels.
Each bucket comes as a kit of 3 or 4 parts held together with small plastic sprues. The O and OO gauge kits have four parts while the TT and N gauge kits have three. The parts will need separating from the sprues before gluing them together. Assembly instructions for the O and OO kits are here while instructions for the TT and N kits are here.
Interested in a different scale? Why not send us a message.
Please note that our models are supplied unpainted, and the colour of the model may differ from the photographed examples.
Information for painting, gluing and working with our models can be found here.
