As winter sets in I got bored and have just finished a run of 4 L&B bogie wagons. I decided to make 2 X braced and 2 steel braced ones. One is for a mate who will do the painting and decalling for mine and his. I will make a rake of SDR hoppers for him later. I have just made a rake of 6 for me and was pleased with their sucess. Pics later. The bogie vans were made with a ply carcass with basswood scribed planking over laid. Wood 3x3mm bracing followed by GRS details and decals. I like the bass wood as it seems pretty stable for gluing and painting etc. Good medium to work with. I have made one previously out of a GRS kit- good kit too but expensive when it has to be posted to New Zealand!!!
