Infront Models have released a model kit of the ABV. This kit has been designed to encourage modellers of the NSW railways who have never built a urethane kit before or, if you are a seasoned modeller who would like to added another wagon or two to your roster.

The kit features a 3 piece castings, roof, sides, and floor. No corner alignment and checking of sides are square. The underframe is supplied from Trainorama® as used under the S wagon; so no axle alignment has to be done to ensure the wagon rolls true. The kit only requires eight holes to be drilled, four for the door handles (two each side), two for the air hose and two for the coupler screws, simple!
Painting is easy, silver roof, PTC blue for the sides and black for the air hose. In all a simple yet detailed urethane kit that can be built in an evening.
The kit comes with the urethane castings, brass detail parts, brass wire, Trainorama® S wagon underframe with wheels, Kadee® couplers, screws, decals and instructions to complete the model (note: kit is not supplied with paint or glue).

These were the first Rail Tank Car (RTC) design built by Comeng, commissioned by the railways for the transportation of diesel fuel for the growing diesel locomotive fleet. Ten tankers in total were built in 1961 and were used all over the state's locomotive depots right up to the very late 1990's. Built on a 45'(13716mm) underframe and a tank diameter of 5'11" (1803mm). The RTC had a tank capasity of 7000 Gallons (31322 Litres). The RTC's were first painted black when commisioned, during the mid 1970's were re painted in PTC blue and, in the mid 1980's some were painted in SRA red.

The kit features urethane castings, PVC tube, brass etches, brass detail parts, bogies, couplers, screws, decals and instructions to complete the kit. Also a drilling and soldering jigs have also been made to assist the modeller in the constuction of the RTC kit.
