Here's a stupid question. Is the van body solid or empty?

I have a need for a line side hut or grounded body, but need to put some electronics inside, out of the weather....

It's actually perfect for this Martin. The brick base has a floor moulded in, but holes could easily be drilled in it to pass any wires through and it would then keep the electrical kit off the damp ground. The van body is hollow and would simply fit over the top.

Bob, if you send Rob a PM he'll sort it all for you (that's what I did). His website is currently undergoing a makeover I think.

Yeah, I've done that Mel.................then I'm heading your way for some weathering lessons. :bigsmile::thumbup:
 
Have (spray) gun, will travel!






Cricky, where'd that come from; who remembers that T.V. program????
 
Hello Guys,

I'm glad you like the grounded van :) Yes, the base is hollow and so is the top. When glued the box becomes a sealed container.

As has been said above, I 'was' having my site totally remade, that has gone totally pair shaped :thumbdown:

I've now gone back to the old way of adding stuff, my brother ! he is not the quickest of workers, but all the new items will be up very soon (this week) :thumbup:

If there is anything you see of mine that you want and can not find it on the site, you can simply call me :callme: 01633 485305, and I'll get you sorted out.

Please keep an eye on the site as the new bits will be poping up during this week, couplings are there now (asked for by you :) ).

Many thanks.
Rob.

Rob - I'll be at the 16mm show at the end of the month. Can i pick up a well wagon, wiggly van and grounded wiggly van body
 
Hey chaps

I was considering making a gunpowder van for the mine branch on my railway but methinks this looks the thing. I'm sure it reminds me of the picture of a gunpowder van I've seen somewhere before, or am I deluding myself?

Would they have made gunpowder vans from iron, or might there be a risk of stray sparks?
The benefit of your collected wisdom, please................

Rik

Hello Doug,
Consider them 'in the customer box' :thumbup:
Thanks.
Rob.
 
My "Wriggly Tin on Bricks" (when it arrives) will have the privilage of being the first building of any sort on the T.V.B.L. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I haven't forgotten that you offered a competition for the most unusual load on one of your well-wagons but I just haven't got my a**e into gear!
As I haven't seen anyone posting do I assume there are no entries as yet

EDIT having gone back to look at the original thread about the well wagon and seen the fantastic mods done on the ES site http://www.7-8ths.info/index.php?topic=16683346.0
I think I ought to throw in the towel now!

 
Hi,

I've only had one reply so far to this comp via my Email rdbush@ntlworld.com
The comp is for a LOAD, not what you have done to the wagon, so your still OK :thumbup:

Doug, what gauge are you wanting your wagons in?

Rob.

I was looking at some of the loads such as the scratchbuilt(?) tank turrets etc. :-:rolleyes:
 
Just finished my van body.
