O gauge wagon

O gauge wagon

 The first of the completed wagons for Oake. Fairly mundane, but that's what's nice about wagons. Peco - ex-Websters GW 4-plank built as per the instructions if not in quite the same order. Perched on Dury's Gap for speed. I reckon I need about eight in total plus the brake with a couple of Slaters 4-wheelers. If you say that quickly it doesn't sound too much, until that is you compare with the same in 4mm mostly bought from club stands at exhibitions for £2-4 a pop.

  1. Nice...wagon kits are very much a "gateway drug" to get you into 0 gauge. Nearly worked for me...you may remember I had quite a few kits 20 odd years ago and I think I even managed to build some of them!
    Would I ever have another go at 7mm? Probably not, at least not in standard gauge although Gilly's tinplate stuff may get an airing at Christmas....
