Darius43 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Chivers Finelines 6-wheel LMS Fish Van kit assembled as a BR Stores Van. I wasn’t keen on the dummy cut-off centre wheels that came with the kit so I removed the “pinpoints” from some 14mm dia. wheels and fitted them to a scratch-built (from plasticard) “caddy”. This allows the centre wheel to move transversely and the wagon happily negotiated 3rd radius curves. Cheers Darius Edited May 11, 2022 by Darius43 4 5 Quote
popeye Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 That's a great idea. I'm building a 6 wheel wagon and I was thinking about how to do the middle wheels, so now I know. 1 1 Quote
