seven8n2 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi everyone, I'm another 7/8" scale builder in Virginia US. I stumbled over this community while looking for photos of SAR steel wagons since I am in the process of building several DZ and B6 open wagons. I have been modeling in 7/8" scale about 20 years, primarily Maine two foot railways, as well as being a designer of rolling stock kits and trucks in this scale. My recent interest has got me leading a group build of the Lawley 4-4-0 locomotive, and of course I wanted some SAR rollings stock. I like working in metal, particularly laser cut steel, and am building SAR wagons in metal. I don't have a lot to show at this point, but a pic attached shows one of the 25 ft wagon frames made with brass channel. To get close to the correct sizes I slit 9/16" and 5/8" square brass tube to make channels, and it is soft soldered together. This community is huge and it will take me a while to look around and see all the interesting stuff. Regards, Steve King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
