Sausage on my 5" gauge barbecue wagon:
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.
[Explanatory picture, no gallery entry]
This is how it looks when closed.

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)

No sun that day, just mist but we got more exhaust than I've seen before. It was a still late autumn day and there was only one other guest, so we got some good running and did some prototypical operating and shunting. Apologies for my attempt at a haiku...
