A1X Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Hi all well with the temperatures slowly starting to plummet it’s getting rather frost bitten in the shed so maybe time to have ago at something I’ve never done before, modelling heavy industry. Now I know I am not going to get a steel works in less that 4ft but if I can capture the essence of it or rather a wagon repair facility in the complex then I will be a happy chap . So I will be using the sms micro in a box boards and a peco loco lift to use as a cassette. But no idea on buildings etc so lots of research will be done and wagons bodged , I have taken great inspiration from Ruston and his many great layouts and his wagon conversions, as that’s my main interest . So until Christmas shutdown this thread will mostly be wagon bodging and track plan doodles . and I hope that it’s maybe of interest to some . I’ve started to bodge a sort of plate / general use wagon . Edited November 8, 2020 by A1X 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1X Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Well I’ve now weathered the wagon and it looks a lot better I think , but what does everyone else think ? 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Looks more like a wagon suitable for loading with ingot moulds to have molten steel added for ingots or moving large castings as Forgemasters did! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokemonprime Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Would love to see what the trackplan for this looks like, also working on some industrial layouts in a very limited space.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Panzers'? Have you seen Paul Bartlett's 'Scunthorpe' pages:- https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/scunthorpebsccorus Edited November 12, 2020 by Fat Controller Added content Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollibob Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I like it, it kind of reminds me of an ARM EL wagon. These were used to transport armoured plates for battleships and later years, heavy concrete beams. There were two types as far as I can remember? Food for thought, I leave a link to Paul Bartlett's site. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brarmel/h4DBBDB5A#h4dbbdb5a Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
