Laser Cut 3mm Ply Flat Wagons
So this started off as a bit of an experiment and quickly developed.
Using 3m ply and laser cutter to make a flat bed wagon.
Sub Frame Version 1 Flat Bed Body Version 1 Goes together.

Version 2 now has body and frame clip together with slots and tabs. Also 3D printed buffers and couplings.

Finished prototypes out on first run.
Just need to work on a coupling to attach to standard LGB couplers.

Re: Laser Cut 3mm Ply Flat Wagons
All my stock is being converted not to make use of LGB couplings the rollingstock was originally fitted with, you can have some LGB couplings for the cost of p&p.stevenfitch wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 2:59 pm Finished prototypes out on first run.

Ive managed to sort coupling the front of the rake to an LGB coupling.DafyddElvy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 3:40 pmAll my stock is being converted not to make use of LGB couplings the rollingstock was originally fitted with, you can have some LGB couplings for the cost of p&p.stevenfitch wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 2:59 pm Finished prototypes out on first run.

Probably could be refined a bit but 3D printed this.

Running nicely here, one derailment caused by some dodgy points.

Looking good! Steps over the line is a nice touch, too.

Also tried some Container Flats with Jacobs Bogies shared between the beds which have come out pretty well.

Steven,
Not sure what, but something wrong with your Youtube code/syntax embedding.
See the "How to ..." section for detailed instructions, but for YouTube, simply copy/paste the link of the video you want to share (make sure you use the 'Share' option URL in YouTube and not the entire video's URL's)

No problem here, I can link to both videos.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Re: Laser Cut 3mm Ply Flat Wagons
Edited the video post to check i'd used correct links from youtube, appears to be correct links but same results.
Second edit.
After looking at a previous post with working video it would appear the links YouTube is generating now have some meta data on the end. I had to remove everything after the basic URL, the portion to remove begins "?si="
