For a fun project....how to convert the LGB 4062 high side OOm/s open goods wagon into a logging flat.
This is a simple enough bash, and I am writing it so anyone could do it. So grab a car and a saw, and dive right in....
A few years back, I got a "grattis" 4062 Austrian gondola as part of some coaches I had bought. No box, and the buffers had been cut off for knucle couplers. The car was intact otherwise until the start of the project.
Step 1, My old cat Fritz knocks my old 4062 car off the shelf, and a few of the doors break. I set the car aside and give cat dirty looks for a few years.
Step 2, In lieu of repairing the broken doors, you find in in a back issue of the German magazine Miba a perfect project....an OeBB logging flat that looks like a cut down gondola.
Granted, LGB made their own version of an SSm/s (43620) but:
A, I have the kitty damaged car here and
B: the details on this car are a bit different than the cut down one shown in the Miba book.
I got some cutting done, I will get some pix up here shortly.
