WAGON ON EBAY>>>>>>>>

Post by Crackingjob » Mon Aug 10, 2009 10:55 pm

You (Dads) cheque book modellers....build your own

Obtain wood veg boxes or card boxes and axle boxes from Tenmillie or Cambrian or Binnie and use any wheels and bits from the scrap box you have....for £15 you could build at least 3-5 trucks

Card boxes for body and fence clips for axle boxes for carriages/van.

Examples attached......what else have you lot got to do all summer

Mr Chair...remember to smile at the tourists....though the bit I naughtly like is when you get small kids brought up on Thomas and simple toot toots, and the first loco they see...the drain cocks are let off and the noise and steam sends them in to a frenzy....so be gentle...they could be our future members

YES! :D

As for "building your own", thats what I have been doing for the past 3 1/2 years :P Although I've never got round to making a Dragon carriage for the ANLR (the one bit of whimsey that I have got planned)
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."
