BRUTE Trolleys - Ready to Paint, N & OO Scale | MR Scenes

Bring the parcels platform to life with these ready to paint British Rail Universal Trolley Equipment (BRUTE) trolleys, 3D printed in grey ABS-like resin.

Introduced by British Rail in the 1960s, BRUTEs were the caged parcels and mail trolleys that crowded every major station for decades — loaded high with sacks and boxes, coupled into long trains and towed along the platform behind a battery-electric tractor. Ours capture the mesh sides, end frames and small castor wheels of the real thing, and the larger packs can be ordered with a platform tractor to haul them.

Paint in weathered galvanised grey or faded BR blue, then load them with a few sacks, parcels or mail bags and line them up beside a parcels van for an instant working scene from the 1960s to the 1990s.

Give your station the busy parcels traffic it's been missing.

You do not need to use a primer with our products, however we know that some customers prefer to routinely prime models before painting. We sell Humbrol Primer.

You should use only acrylic paints. Enamel paint can have a very undesirable effect, so we would recommend avoiding enamels completely.

Resin can be cut using a Dremmel or fine saw and sanded using a fine sandpaper or nail file.

If you're glueing resin parts together you should use a superglue or epoxy-based glue. Regular plastic glues will not glue resin. We also sell superglue.
