Hi guys - I'm pondering another project - and wondered about building a roll-wagen... something 'like' this...

Rather than use standard size LGB wheelsets I wondered how big the feldbahn wheels are - to lower the centre of gravity. What are my other options? Is there an American or European modern bogie image wagon in 1:29 that uses smaller diameter wheels than LGB (which by my measurements are about 25.5mm rolling diameter) that I could then use the bogies from as well?
Any help MUCH appreciated
I'll probably use a standard LGB wagon like this (http://www.dragon-gscale.co.uk/lgb-40883-obb-high-side-gondola-2692-p.asp) as < Link To http://www.dragon-gscale....la-2692-p.asp) as the load with standard gauge buffers, as I think a full on standard gauge wagon would, despite being prototypical, just look odd! With that in mind I'm not sure what 'gauge' my roll-wagen will be, I'm just starting to do some proof of concept sketches and some rough CAD drawings.
