South African/WHR stock

Post by garratt100 » Thu Oct 25, 2007 7:41 pm

Here's a South African 'B' class wagon that now resides on the Welsh Highland Railway along with a few others.

Hopefully, someone will mass produce some of these in 16mm scale soon...

Chris.

Somone's bound too, wouldn't be to suprised if Accucraft did, they're good waggons, especially since we got them practically thrown in to the package. Shame about the brass bearings though.

(P.S. I spell waggon with two gs becuase 'm from the Ffestiniog, it's not a spelling mistake)

Not railway related but to do with the spelling of waggon/wagon. The Sentinal steam waggon works always spelt wagon with 2 Gs but other makers spelt it with one :lol:

In case anyone is interested, I have managed to get hold of some technical drawings of these wagons and would be happy to point anyone in the right direction to find them. I am currently planning on building 1 in the style they run on the WHR with the bike racks. If anyone has any photos of interior detailing it would be helpful.

Best bet is to look at the WHR project site, i think there would be a few pics on there.

yeah, theres quite few piccies on there. Also, searching WHR or Welsh Highland Railway in photobucket or Flickr finds some pics which have them in! I'm getting quite a collection of images to use for getting the details right, but could do with more of the interiors! Think the B Wagon project is on hold for a bit as there are a few other things coming onto the agenda, but it will get built at some point!
