Lynton and barnstaple wagons

As a side project I thought I'd have a go at a coal wagon. The bogies are wrong but I have used what I had spare. I still need to add the lettering and weight limits on the sides. The wagon itself is made from plywood for the floor and 1.5mm card for the sides and ends. Anyway, photos say a lot more than words....

Very nice, how did you scribe the cardboard?

Used the bladed end of a citadel sculpting tool. Sharp enough to create a good dent but blunt enough not to slice straight through.

Following the success of the above wagon and a rummage through my bits... Today I started these:

So that's another bogie wagon (same design) and 2 smaller wagons (correct l&b size but on binnie fr wagon axel boxes and binnie 6 spoke wheels). Am planning to host a steam up in the near future so hope to have these finished by then.... Need to order some couplings this week I think.

Do you need more Bogies Matt ? I still have a couple of
sets in stock.

Always need more bogies mike! There's bound to be a project to fit them to at some point...

A few more sets of coaches perhaps

Looks very neat, what is the roof made of, plasticard or cardboard?

It's a cardboard roof.
