    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 ?

    Nice work. :thumbs:
    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

    That is looking good. :thumbs:

    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.
