I've just got mine today, and i'm surprised how big it is.

Did anyone have to enlarge the holes for the screws for the axleboxes?

No because they are pilot holes and don't need enlarging, only designed for marking the position

I just simply screwed the screws in when the axleboxes or wheels weren't in place (it's alot easier then),took the screws out and then put the wheels and axleboxes in place and then put the screws back in again.

I started building my wagon today. It's now 3/4 finished. Just need to put on the remaining metal bits, paint it, and add the initals of my railway.

They are a kind of mix between the gs6 and gs15

They have the width of the gs6, and height of the gs15.
I think they make great wagons, the perfect height and width.

I got 3 gs15's expecting them to be the same width, but they wernt, which lead me to sell them.
