HR 8-ton double-decked sheep van body in 4mm scale.

HR 8-ton double decked sheep van with planked sides.

This is the 3D printed van body with the festoon of ingates and runners removed, it takes about a quarter of an hour to do this carefully with side cutters. You need to be careful with the delicate vertical rods that support the planks midway. Detail is remarkable as this is scaled down from my 7mm version. The floors and roof need to be added from Plastikard and the wheels and other components below the sole-bar sourced from the trade. Peter Tatlow's drawing on pg. 168 of his "Highland Railway Carriages and Wagons" should be used as a guide along with the photos on the following pages. Mark Tatlow tells me that he can supply an etched underframe for the wagon.

This is what you get...

The 3D print as it comes off the printer.

The sheep van is supplied as seen in the above photo with ingates and runners still attached. 

The van body is available now and if this format proves acceptable to 4mm modellers more HR wagon types will follow.

Price per wagon body is £10.95

Postage is £3.50 for 2nd Class or £4.20 for 1st Class, if you order more than one it's still the same. It won't go in an envelope so it'll have to go in a box by Small Parcel rate.
