NeilHB is currently working on many wagons in his layout thread

Furness Wagon has a wagon kit business

Not solely wagons here too but most of my current modelling is heavily wagon centric

 

Mostly a plastic man, Parkside, Cambrian et al and have built a few in my time.

 

I blame the Grampus wagons I saw in my youth, coupled with the Parkside Dundas kit only being £2.75 at the time.

 

It was the start of a slippery slope

As a one man band I do everything, but wagons are my favourite. At one time my layout was goods only (complete with 4mm scale closure notices) simply because I hadn't got round to building any coaches !

 

I know a couple of people away from here who only build wagons for club or mate's layouts.

There weren’t really any kits for the wagons I wanted and anything RTR was either way too expensive or only available in HO.

 

Sooooo.......

I have built loads of wagon kits over the years, then got into bashing them, then got into scratch building.

I build wagon kits and scratch build in both 4 and 7mm, predominantly the early BR era. Wagon building isn't all i do, but its a solid 90 per cent of it. The folks who have already commented or been mentioned represent some of the "who's who" of wagon builders here, and many others come to mind. If I could not do anything else I'd still build wagon kits and collect every book on wagons in my era I could find! A Parkside or Ratio kit, some detail bits, my little tool pencil box and whatever book I need is a guarantee of several evening's enjoyment for me! Cambrian kits are nice too but not quite as fine as Parkside imo.
