... umm, well ... I got another one - not THAT old, but pretty ugly, once built by HATLAPA, a former manufacturer of Feldbahn diesel locomotives, rebuilt probably half a dozen times, now serving in a wildlife park:  |

An old Spring Wagon in pretty bad shape. Located in a back yard in town. All the parts and pieces were still there and and allowed for detailed measurements.  ...and the measurements allowed this 1:8 scale version to be built. Had to guess on the colours but they were pretty standard for the times.   |

I wholley agree with Chuck. Nothing gives this away as a model.

I really like this topic. What a great variety of inspiring wagons.

Just to give an idea of what can be done with the plans available at... http://www.wildhorsebooks.com/ (previously mentioned in this thread) Here's a jouney into the 'artsy-craftsy' end of things. A 1/8 fancy buckboard. Original plans were from John Thompson that he managed to draw before the original left a museum and got into private hands. It's 'artsy-crafsty' because it would usually built out of the original/equivallent materials.....but this one is oiled American black walnut and brass. Most of the plans available aren't too bad but I've heard that some are quite difficult to understand and others lack detail. So far I've been lucky.....but one hears stories.......   |
