Some 3mm LNWR wagon bodies

[Chris Higgs]

Hi Chris

 

That pricing makes van bodies look much more attractive. Thanks. I'll pass the word around. Do you know of a good reference work for these?

 

I like the look of your LNWR D84 and D103 wagons. Any chance of making those available? I'm close to finishing the artwork for the other LNWR wagon chasses, although I'll shortly be away for a few week so it''ll probably be late July before I finish them. However, I've already taken a look at the 9'9" chasses as in the D84 and D103.

 

Cheers

Nigel

 

Due to the efforts of a certain Bob Essery, there is a lot available on the MR vans. His book on Midland Wagons (volume 1) details the history. The best work drawings however are found in a supplement to the Midland Record. Both can be had very cheaply here:

Thanks, Chris. Ordered the books. I'll leave ordering anything from Shapeways until I'm back in mid July. I've put a post on the 3mm Society e-group.
