Loads for Wagons(2)

[jetomlin]

having bought some relatibely cheap wagons....Aristocraft and Newquida, I resprayed and pondered how I could make some very cheap loads. Inspired by one of the exhibits at the Exeter Show, i purchased some thin balsawood and the smallest section at B & Q, which did not qualify as 'strip wood'.

The attached photos show the result!

For some reason one photo did not upload , so I will try again!

Like the roof truss idea!!

Sir, this idea will be shamelessly stolen for use on my layout!

 

[Willem WDLS]

Great idea of the roof structures! Will try that myself too.

 

[C&S]

Hear, hear! I suspect a lot of lines will now start transporting roof timbers!

I've just put a new post on my blog where i've compiled the various disparate chunks of info about wagon loads I've created over the years. I hope there's something of interest.

How I created various wagon loads

Narrow gauge large scale model garden railway. Battery powered, radio controlled locomotives, some Bluetooth. Set in Cheshire UK in 1930s

Rick, I’m so impressed with your blog that I’ve added it to my home screen.

It is a location that I frequently refer to for varying bits of info when undertaking my own projects. I have had his blog as a favourite for some time now. Rik certainly takes the time and effort to make an easily understood and clear description of all and it appears all that he has done. Top Marks for that
