Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
Thanks all. Alan Jones also thinks there would be minimal variation between the timber wagons. Maybe an inch or two. If you have access to the dimensions, Pete, that would be a great help.
I don’t

Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
Hi Paul,
For my 2p, if we're worried about 2.5mm in track gauge then we should sort out 3mm differences in the waggons :-)
I am in waggontracks & the WWF (wooden? waggon federation) - we were

Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
The correct answer is probably to sell all the iron wagons. Then draw up artwork for a new etch with scale width and get 30 odd etched.
I don’t actually know the size variability within the wooden

Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
And if I may drop another brick - as far as the 7mm society and O14 - what

Why do you model in O14? I think if you can be sure of why you model O14 rather than 0-16.5 you ought to be able to answer your conundrum.

Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
Surely the answer is to design the kit in such a way that it can easily be either cut down to scale width or built up to the “bloated” width. Given that anyone working in ~14mm gauge is going to

Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
Thanks Paul,
I agree that the iron wagons probably wouldn’t work as a 3d print. I can’t remember the detail of the 7mm NGA etches but I wonder if a 3d printed chassis could be combined with the

Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
Hi Robin.
The overwide route is looking to be the preferred option. These will eventually run on the extended Dinas project, so will run in mixed takes of ‘up empties’ as a tail load and a

Re: Conundrum over scale width waggons.
An interesting conundrum! I guess what you decide to do will depend on how you intend to use the wagons. If they are to run with your existing (presumably over-wide) stock then I would extend the

Conundrum over scale width waggons.

Re: Lyn - pickups
That’s a useful method. Thanks. I am going to paint the chassis before looking at the pickups, so I can do a final fix on the wheels and motor etc first. Cheers
