Ex-Decent Models Open Carriage Truck
Has anyone built the ex-Decent Models 7mm scale open carriage truck, the underframe is straightforward but I am struggling to see how the inner and outer body go together, thanks.

Re: Milk Truck or Fish & Foul Truck
There was a drawing by John Boyle which described it as a fish or fowl van (which I presume is what you have). But I've read somewhere that these vehicles (or these sort of vehicles) were used for milk traffic as well, being well ventilated. Also that they were used for empty casks, being light and...

Re: Milk Truck or Fish & Foul Truck
Thank you Mike and Allan, I suspected my question would receive an answer that wasn't straightforward, information about these vehicles being used for empty casks is of particular interest.
Do we know what livery they have carried for use as empty cask vehicle's?
Thanks, David

Milk Truck or Fish & Foul Truck
Like most other folk I am slowly clearing my shelf of started kits, the attached photo is a 7mm scale kit started a few years ago and before the book on wagons was available. I've been round the houses trying to confirm the identity of this vehicle, reading the wagon book it is a milk truck, drawing...

Re: Bankfoot Station Building
Thank you all, I think, but will probably be found wrong, that I have sufficent information to start sketching up the building in preparation to build my model, thanks.

Gladiator 6 Wheel Brake Van

Thanks for the clarification.MIKEWILLIAMS wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:25 amAlan and David apologies, I was guilty of over-simplification. The Diagram 21 and 22 wagons had 3in thick sides and the 46 and 59 had 2.5ins. In all cases the inside oak planks were 1 in thick.

D46 Wagon
I am trying to understand the body planking arrangement fitted to the D46 wagon, sorry I can’t remember the page number, but in the wagon book the upper of the two end view drawings suggests the wagon had double thickness planking, I believe this could be correct for the door which I believe had hor...

Resurrecting a Class 171 Etch?
By way of a wee update on 4mm scale things, which I trust will please the 4mm modellers. I have met with Jim Smellie today and we have come to an agreement for me to borrow some of his Caley Coaches casting masters to make a new set of castings specifically for the 171 class, and Lindsay is going to...

Re: Resurrecting a Class 171 Etch?
The 171 etches will be collected from the post office latter today, etches in 4mm and 7mm scale will be supplied with a brass boiler tube and the 7mm etches with a chassis.
Can those interested in a set of etches please drop me a message off the forum, thanks.
