Pewter brake fittings (air reservoir, distributor, and variable load valves), and container twistlocks (with option of MkI or MkII types)
Etched brass sprung bogie frames (including the visible brake beams), with pewter side frames (a mix of 4 visibly different variants of the Ride Control MkIII). A further bogie option, available in limited quantities, is the F/L1.
