Great work Jim, you must have quite a train of 7/8th's scale now. Have you got a funnel for that steamer yet?

another wagon made not sure what the load is going to be yet
I could cut down the logs and use these or have the barrels chained up

Unusual design Jim, but why not? I'm sure most factories and facilities with their own railway built stock to handle their particular needs, all you need to do is invent something for them to carry.
I think barrels look better than logs but it could be anything you want.

yes that's the idea wanted it too look quite industrial and a bit different like some think that's been welded up in a factory/industrial building or coal/copper mine. I have got some bits of plumbers pipe I might cut up and see what they look like.it should go with the rest of the rolling stock I want every think too look quite industrial

finished the wagon today

Well, that's done the trick then Jim... after I replied before I thought about steel coils as a possible load as the wagon looks as though it could carry something heavy, but drums are just as good.

thanks peter I tried a few different things I had in my shed as different loads and the barrels won in the end I wanted a big industrial looking cog but the one I had was too big.the barrels look good though so happy with them .got lots of plasticard left so on to the next wagon
