OO Scale | Pre-Coloured | Salt and Grit Bin - Style 1
OO-STR-YLW-02-004Add a realistic touch to your OO scale (1:76) model railway with this set of yellow salt and grit bins. Designed in precise scale, they’re the perfect detail for station platforms, car parks, roadside scenes, or winter maintenance yards — the kind of everyday detail that makes a layout feel alive.
Each bin is made from eco-friendly yellow PLA plastic, pre-coloured so you can place them straight onto your layout with no painting required. The design faithfully replicates the classic UK salt and grit bins you’ll find in towns and cities up and down the country, instantly recognisable and full of character. Packs are available in 2, 4, or 6, with an equal mix of salt and grit bins included so your scene has variety straight out of the box.
Compact but eye-catching, these bins are ideal tucked into platform corners, lined up in car parks, or placed roadside as a seasonal detail. For added realism, you can weather them with powders or washes to capture that well-used, slightly battered look we all know so well from real life.
Plug them into your scene and watch the everyday world of the railway come to life.

Preparation and painting
Ideally you should use a primer as the base coat when painting PLA plastic models. We sell Humbrol Primer here.
You can use both acrylic and enamel paints.
PLA plastic can be cut using a Dremmel or fine saw and sanded using a fine sandpaper or nail file.
If you're gluing PLA plastic parts together you should use a superglue or epoxy-based glue. We sell superglue here.
