Does anyone know if these are still available anywhare, either model kits or masters?

They used to produce good quality castings of a wide range of wagons including TVR Van and 3 plank and Cambrian van - this was perhaps 25 years ago, using etched axleguards etc

So far as I know they disappeared many years ago. I don't know if these crop up on eBay from time to time but worth a look.

They also produced a kit for a 10-ton Port Talbot Railway van. And I believe they also produced some (slightly overscale) transfers of the coats of arms of both the Taff Vale and Rhymney Railways. Some of the mouldings later came into the hands of David Geen who had some for sale at the Cardiff Show some years ago. David has now retired due to a family illness which is understandably demanding on his time.

There is a useful article with a list of MWC kits in Scalefour News 225 pages 36-38.
No indication of availability, but most TVR are replaced, I guess, by lighter weight etched or plastic kits - hopefully Coopercraft will be back properly soon....

There are a number of Model Wagon Company wagon kits on eBay at the moment, including the TVR van.
