So at the moment I have many projects on the go as we all do but here's one that's almost ready to enter traffic an lner fruit van complete scratch build from plastic card and some castings from wizard models built in 4mm to the foot not much left to do but looking good so far if I do say so my self this is the plywood panel version Attached files
Thank you I feel this is what model railways is all about any one can buy a train set but it takes real skill and patience to make something your self yes it may be rough around the edges but built it and enjoyed it which is the whole point in this hobby and it was cheep to do
Nice one Having a go at scratch building a few wagons, is also one of the attraction of O gauge for me, I have quite a few old Railway Modellers with Pre-grouped company wagon drawings, which I will have to start looking out. So whats the next oneyou will be attempting ? Paul
Nice work. Plenty of enjoyment building your own rollingstock. I must admit that I haven't scratchbuilt any rollingstock since the days I played with HO models. Cheers, Gary.
Not sure what's next TBH may look at building a new loco or some carriages. I have seen a NBR motor rail van that looks interesting and always wanted to build a sentinel rail car
So new project started this time a H&BRly 20t brake van complete scratch build got some work left to do but not looking to bad Attached files
Thank you all they are getting there honest buy realised this evening that I currently have 14 projects on the go so going to finish a few before starting a new on and I really need to make myself s Photo board to take pictures on May be a job I can start tomorrow will maybe have a look at a local second hand shop for a nice bit of wood or salvage yard
That is looking good. I'm guessing all the chassis is 3.2mm or 4mm C channel, from Evergreen or Plastruct ? Which sheet did you use for the sides (vertical planking) ?? Cheers, Gary.
Nice work there Chris, Very impressive......the castings really make the difference and they look particularly good. http://www.clickGormo
