Two more harvest waggons

Another two harvest waggons have left the workbench, built pretty much the same as before, but using 5 spoke wheels (of the curly variety, from Binnie) and I've made them 66mm wide rather than the 64mm of the first pair, this was done purely to save cutting a lolly stick down by 2mm.


Again, I have no real use for them so I'll just use them for old string and oak leaves;


Four in a row, on a temporary line heading for the strawberry plants (sadly lacking fruit this year);

I do find these very satisfying to build, and I'd like to make some more, but common sense tells me that building waggons for a garden railway that will probably never exist (apart from the occasional oval on the concrete) would be foolish. But, don't they look good!

  1. I can confirm that building 16mm scale waggons for a non-existent garden railway is highly addictive! But fun.
