Still experimenting with wheels/axles and boxes.
This one is gonna have cambrian models plastic wheels and axle boxes and also buffers, as I made an error with the sole bars.

In the future I want to rivet the aluminium angle onto the body, if I can find cheap rivets..

Want to keep the cost down and make loads of them, then Ill try a covered wagon.

Hope to get them on soon.
 
:thumbup:o yes!
 
Nearly finished my first attempt, just needs some more strapping, weathering and....sign writing.

Experimented with different wheels,axles and buffers. These are cambrian models ones.
