Scratchbuilt goods stock
Scratchbuilt goods stock
Hello all,
Yesterday I introduced myself. Now I 'd like to show you the goods stock I am building.
The base of the wagons is 6mm ply, the sides and doors are 3,5mm ply and the roof is 1,5 mm ply. I scribed the planking with a nail.
I turned the wheels of mild steel, the axles of silver steel. The gauge can be adapted to either 32mm or 45 mm.
Buffers are of mild steel.
There is one more wagon to come!
Greetings,
Erik

Hello Spooner,
Thanks for your reply.
I used thin brass sheet for the the hinges for the drop sides. First I cut a small strip and made a round end on it with round nose pliers.
Then I cut a rectangle of the same brass sheet, sawed and filed a slot in it of the same with as the strip. Then I used the round nose pliers again to form the other haf of the hinge. I used the 3 mm hinge pin to finish the round ends of the hinge. I mounted the hinges on the side boards and on the frame with 1mm rivets, glued in with superglue.
I hope you can understand my explanation, as my English is not so good ( I am Dutch )
