Vacuum Brake Equipment

“This is a photo of my engine which uses your vacuum brake ejector. It has been in use for over three years and it has been very reliable, pulling some 18 to 20 inches of vacuum which is more than enough when passenger hauling to give good braking reliability”.

Southern Railway Ballast Brake Van

“Here are some pictures of a project which uses Products from the PNP range.

 It was decided that a Brake Van could be built which would supply a Vacuum to a train which did not have a vacuum fitted locomotive. In this case it was ideal as the locomotive which would pull the Brake Van was only small.

“Above is a photograph of the 7¼" gauge engine (Princess Coronation 'Duchess of Hamilton’) I have been working on during the past 12 years. It is now close to completion and I hope to get it running in time for Easter Bank Holiday. Both the tender and a driver’s truck (not shown) have been with PNP Railways vacuum brake system”.

“As a customer of PNP railways I would like to give you some feedback on the PNR-4R 21" vacuum ejector, PNR-1G vacuum release valve and PNR-3P brake valve.  In 2006 I completed the building of a large 7¼" gauge steam locomotive to a Roger Marsh Tinkerbell type design.  I was looking to fit vacuum brakes to the loco and found the PNP product range to be ideally suited to my needs.  After a discussion over my intended use I was assured the vacuum ejector and valves would be suitable.

7¼" Gauge ‘Screw Fit’ Display Track Kit

“I used one of your 7¼" display track kits to good effect at various exhibitions in 2007. The model shown in the picture won a Gold medal and the Bradbury Winter Trophy at the M.E. Show at Ascot and The Reeves Challenge Cup at the Midlands show of the same year. When ballasted and weathered I really felt that your product added to the model and I received many compliments regarding the realistic track bed.”

Replacement of Wooden Sleeper with
PNP Railways Sleepers and ‘Screw Fit’ Chairs

“PNP track was fitted to the bridge at the track as a test to see how it would look and perform. The photo’s show a before and after of the two tracks from each end of the bridge.

7 ¼" Gauge Sleepers & Bar Rail Chairs

“This picture is of my railway at Tiffield near Northampton taken soon after construction.  It was built with PNP plastic sleepers, bar rail chairs and 10mm black bar”.

7¼" & 5" Gauge ‘Screw Fit’ Track

“The above picture shows PNP 5" & 7¼" gauge track on a 12' 6" radius curve using full gauge widening. This part of my garden is frequently under water during winter. The tide had just gone out when I took this picture although you can still see some of the water in the top left hand corner!
