Always fancied one of these but not for collectors prices. Cheapest I've found was £5+postage for ONE upright o_O

Whole rail car including pipes substantially more. Won't see much change out of £100.

So made my own. Took a bit of experimenting to get the tolerances right.
The original used the stock flatbed sideboards at both ends but this didn't look like it would keep the pipes in place very well. I modelled the fences around the style of the existing uprights.

Pipes had to be printed in two halves so one half has a step and a reduced diameter male end so they just slot together. It's not a bug if it's a feature :D
My wee lad seems to like that they come apart anyway.
 
Cheers guys. Next on the list will be the the 4106 wagon.

Haven't forgotten about my other projects but need to keep busy while doing test prints ;)
