Found at a 'The Works' outlet, was this small desk tidy box or as I saw it, the beginnings of a rake of neat little wagons.
It just needs a chassis, made from pieces of 25mm x4 mm pine softwood.
- 2 of 87mm with two corners cut to 45 degrees
- 2 of 118mm x (1 piece cut in halve lengthways)
- Wheel sets (45mm)*
- Axles incl. bearings (4)*
- Roundhouse buffers (2)*
* Available from IP Engineering.
The axles were fitted to the two long pieces (10mm from each end) using M3 x 6mm pan-head self-tapping screws. A 3mm hole was drilled into the centre of each buffer beam for each buffer.
What could be simpler?
