HGLW flat bed wagon kits.

[Bandit]

I made these three HGLW flat bed wagons and I'm very happy with how it's looking.
Next step: painting.

I also made my own couplers:

These wagons run on my G scale layout (45mm track).

They look a very neat piece of rolling stock. Look forward to seeing them in action.

Hi Bandit, you might be interested in this thread where I weathered a Busted Bricks wagon (HGLW took over the Busted Bricks range):

I built 4 of the original BB kits. I'm very pleased with them. I fitted Bachmann 24mm wheels to mine because the steel wheels supplied by Busted Bricks were not insulated so no good for a track-powered railway (I don't know if the wheels supplied by HGLW are the same?). I fitted Accucraft chopper couplings.

My HGLW little tankers and log flats have plastic wheels as supplied in the kits

My kit has been supplied with 45mm steel wheels. They're not insulated.

My layout is track powered. So one day is for the HGLW stock, one day for the track powered stuff...

I looked at your thread. Very interesting.

How do you put the Bachmann 24mm wheels on these flat beds ?

Have a look here (about half way down the page):

When I bought my kits from Busted Bricks he sold them to me without wheels (and a little cheaper) so that I could fit my own.

Oh.... it's a thread in The Coffee Lounge, I didn't think there's any restriction to that area once you're a member, but you are very new to this forum so maybe it's still closed to you?

Can you try a forum search for "Busted Bricks"? you're looking for a thread title "New Member - trader" which was when Michael from BB introduced himself. My posts about Bachmann wheels are on page 2 of the thread.
If it still doesn't work, post back and I'll copy the photos to this thread later.

Got it ! Thanks. Very helpful.
