Flat Wagon with Slatted Ends
Flat Wagon with Slatted Ends
Having had so much fun wiith Phil Sharples Coal Wagon & Side Tipper kits i just couldn't resist the little Flat Wagon.
So here is the first picture of the parts straight out of the bag :)
As usual there is a more comprehensive record of the build on my website here http://www.alspcs.com/PSFlat.html

Managed a quick run this evening with my Regner Vincent and Phil Sharples wagons.
There is something not quite right with the last tipper, it has a definite squeak from one of the axles
and it's not running as smoothly as the other wagons. Otherwise the rake runs very well.

Yes, it's all too easy to get them skewed.MDLR:113306 wrote:Now THAT'S what I CALL a train! One thing you hve to watch: when you insert the axleboxes into the slots on the lowest layer of the underframe, make sure they are fully pushed home - VERY important with superglue! one of mine wasn't (and only showed up on the photograph) but it does run OK.
The tippers don't use those axle boxes though, it's just holes drilled in the plastic chassis.
I've just had a look at the tipper in question and it would appear i hadn't quite pushed
the wheels onto the axles far enough.
