Tove Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi group, I`m looking at converting some earlier van and short four wheeled open wagons, for early eighties use with single link suspension and air braking. I`ve been trawling the interweb and going through various magazines but as yet have found nothing. So i was thinking can anyone tell me if there is a coversion kit to modifi said wagons,or some detailed drawings that might aid me in making my own. This pic shows what i`m after; https://flic.kr/p/fGbX5v Cheers, Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tove Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks Paul, I`m aware of the parkside and other 4mm offerings. I was sort hoping there might be a 7mm alternative,before i go down the scratch build route. And thanks for the link to your pic`s,mightly useful!!. Cheers, Brian.

hmrspaul Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Sorry, like most on here you didn't mention scale so I assumed 4mm as that is the scale most assume. Although you posted in a 7mm forum that only shows up in the tiniest font at the top of the page, personally I never look at the site via forums.

Try googling Appleby Model Engineering; he's almost certainly done them in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never crossed my mind to include the scale,as i have this fourm bookmarked for easy access. Plus i only usally think in O gauge anyway...!! Thanks FC for the suggestion, That`s a manufacturer i`ve not come across before. He dosen`t have a web site or e-mail contact,but i do now have his postal address with which to contact him. Thanks, Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
