Sausage on my 5" gauge barbecue wagon:

Image

This is a TGPPS-type twin hopper grain wagon. The prototype can only be unloaded into a pit between the rails.
To give it a useful feature, I made the top removable. and installed a coal grate and a barbecue top.
The first hopper houses the barbecue, the other one is filled with coal.
After the barbecue is finished, I can flip the coal grate and the remaining coal is "unloaded" though the bottom of the hopper.
The still burning charcoal is then used to fire up another steam loco after the lunch break.
This wagon has been used many times on open days.

This is how it looks when closed.

Thank you both. Wrong end of the garden for cows, Peter.😄

That is beyond awesome! You need a refrigerated Beer Car with Tap, and maybe a wood smoker car for those longer cooks?

Did I mention that I also have a twin barrel wine wagon?

(Will show it on another topic as I do not want to spoil this thread)
