7 1/4 inch gauge driving truck

Heavy duty braked truck, intended originally as a driving truck for "Stafford", although since showing it at Alexandra Palace in January we seem to be sending them to all sorts of people everywhere (including three on a pallet to the Netherlands).

Laser-cut steel chassis, CNC-turned steel wheels running in sealed takeup roller bearings. Disc brake to the rear wheels, the handle can be fitted either side depending on your dexterity (which hand you use, I mean, rather than whether you're capable of fitting the handle in the first place). Seat is a rather posh affair, developed  by Mrs P and her mum with a stitched and piped cover over foam on a plywood base.

The footboards lock up for transit (you take the brake handle off first) and lock down when in use.
