richard60098 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ben, Just announce the Bardon wagon and save the man a load of hassle..... If you do the original version, I'm in for a rake of Bardon Green/Yellow and a rake of Aggregate Industries White/Blue. C. Hello dogbox321 how strange you have my online Gamertag name! lol so am i reading right? Is Ben making a Bardon Hopper? If you ment me and making more btw i am in talks with plastic injection moulding and resin also as of course i'm not that skilled or patient to make more than one of each chosen wagon! Thus i'd want them cast so myself and my friends can all have a little rake. At the moment i'm only in talks about axle air braked wagons but suppose its something that could maybe... be done on a bogie size if left basic and not all glued together 1st! If only i had the brains to design in 3D Cad but never going to happen! lol the clever gents who do this thou really wow me tbh, thou the price of 3d printing would be extreme for a bogie wagon so i'll leave that well alone!!!! Cheers again Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted February 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello Mike, yes i've looked at it on the net but not gone ahead with the purchase after my friend sent this pic from in the Fox book i don't think me a basic learner could get anywhere of this measuring style in the centre of the page under the wagon! I would have thought that the Fox book was the easiest for a new learner as it has proper scale drawings (rather than not to scale GA drawings)! Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard60098 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 So then Paul's excellent wagon site & Barrowmore will keep me more than happy for now thou and i'd imagine anyone else wanting to start from nothing used both these invaluable websites as a great guide! As its given me much inspiration to do things i would never dare do before! But if you don't atleast try how will you know if you can achieve somethin to be proud of and share this with others in the community also....

Cheers, Mike Ah now my friend the little bugar didn't mention this when sending the pic over with text! Ok then right i'll get him to look through and see what exactly is in it as he may of missed the Bardon wagon inside. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Saunders Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Scale it using the 1 - 76.2 and dividing the figure by 76.2! look at this site http://www.modelbuildings.org/scale-conversion-calculator.html Mark Saunders Edited February 25, 2017 by Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately i have no idea wat i'm adding up and how to present 13 220 on a calculator? Is it suppose to be in inchs or cm from the drawing or different? And am i suppose to be putting 13 220 or 13.220 or something different altogether? Apologies i've always truggled with maths and you can't teach an old dog new tricks Once i have an understanding of the way these 13 220 numbers read in what metric way??? On the diagram i'll then type up a saved file to revert back to for future wagons so i have an understanding and can stop asking lol Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard60098 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Evening, i'm stumped by this ECC TTA wagon i've seen on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwpeakdaleworkscom/27931520364/in/photolist-KrSLBN-KrSNqs-JydkTj-JykJEM as theres no pic proof there ever was one? The nearest i've found is this http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/inveresktta/h59f8d696#h59f8d696 Can anyone actually confirm there were any full barrel size tta in ECC Blue? This TTA recently uploaded behind the bogie clay tank could be but looks very clean! https://www.flickr.com/photos/21513703@N06/32855046035/ Thanks.

Marcoblanco Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I know this thread is a couple of years old. I wonder if the original poster had any luck building something? . I see cavalax are doing this wagon so it too spurred me on to see if I could attempt a scratchbuild. There is a similar wagon in J Fox's book. I would hope to find pics online to 'guesstimate' measurements against the bogies... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
