I know what you are thinking as you read myGVT wagon build. "That's all very nice Phil, but I don't model in the larger scales, so it's not relevant to me."
Well, you are wrong.
Above is a laser-cut wooden wagon we are giving away as a subscription gift for new Garden Rail subs.
It's knocking around my desk so I've pressed it into service as a box to hold bits of another kit I'm working on. Big enough to hold everything and open-topped so I can just chick the sprues back in once I've removed the relevant part. So far I've not managed to lose anything. It's very handy.
So, you do need a large scale wagon!
How many scales do you model?
ReplyDeleteThat might nudge me into a sub.
ReplyDeleteLarge scales are so much more fun. Everyone should try at least one wagon. They make great display pieces even if you never get to "use" it.
ReplyDeleteDuncan - Loads. 2mm to 16mm but it'd be up for a bit of 7/8th one day. Even before it was my job, I was always happy to try different scales, I think it helps keep interest in the hobby.
ReplyDeleteWill the offer with this for the subscription be available at the Yorkshire garden railway show in a couple of weeks please (assuming the mag has a presence there)?
ReplyDeleteSorry - Although I'll be visiting, probably on the Sunday, the magazine doesn't take a stand at shows other than the Peterborough 16mm AGM. It simply costs too much to staff a stand for the two days. The offer is available mail order though. Look out for details in the magazine including a build in the October issue.
