For Springwell I’d like some simple flat wagons to transport the horticultural produce.
The Peter Binnie website sells some very nice 16mm narrow gauge Hudson tipper chassis.
These ‘skip’ chassis were often converted into straightforward flat wagons, making them an ideal starting point for the job.
So here we go….. Click on a photo for a bigger image.
This was a fun build. The kits are well designed and neatly moulded, and everything fits together as it should.
Best of all, I think the finished wagon looks right — always an important test for any model.
I’ll need four or five wagons for this shunting puzzle. The next challenge will be creating a bit of variety between them, without losing the overall character of the fleet.

Some nest weathering on the metal – have you used weathering powders before? And the balsa seems like it needed two or three steps to get to the aged look?

Hi
Thanks, Glad you like the rust. I have used weathering powders before but not very often so it was a bit of an experiment for me.
Yes, there are a few steps to creating the wood but I forgot to photograph them 🙂 I will try to remember to do a separate blog on that !

This is so very tempting Steve. It’s been a while since I last looked at the Binnie website and they seem to have a much wider range of wheels now.
