Tref Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Gentlefolk, having entered the cakebox challenge, I have decided on the humble 16 ton mineral wagon as the main subject of my entry. So I have, over the past three or four weeks worked my way through this thread from beginning to end, to check I don't ask a silly question that has already been answered, and now suffering from severe information overload! Still, apart from following some of the links, at least no further research is required! However, whilst 4mm has been covered, "0" gauge has been covered, my plans are for 1/32 scale (gauge 1). Really I would prefer an etched kit (a new experience for me, and I want to cut bits out, which will be easier in the flat). So far my quest has drawn a blank. Anyone looking at this any experience, or can point me in the right direction? Many thanks, Tref Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember his name but the hat tells me he was the Telegraph Lineman on the same patch as my Grandad was Signal Lineman at that time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
