Very nice John , I presume a scratch build? Where did you get the 3D printed dome and chimney from as my supply of good castings is running low so I'll be on the hunt at some point .

Hi,Paul, I have a chap who is printing some LNWR roofless cattle wagons and some early ballast wagons for me. He is also doing some wagon axle boxes and springs and buffer housings . I can ask him if he would do work for other people if you would like.

And some of this ballast wagon.

A few more while I'm in the mood. LNWR Jubilee made by Laurie Griffin it really is a beautiful model and runs perfectly.

Now that is the bees knees .
If you could ask the question ref the 3D printing that would be appreciated. Those ballast wagons look very nice but roofless cattle wagons never look correct to my eye , just something not right .

I think there are a few of us that would be interested in what 3D LNWR wagon components were available, either stl files for printing at home or fully printed for purchase. I'm currently staring at drawings for a CCT and LNWR axleboxes trying to decide where to start drawing out - springs or axleboxes.

Hi Adrian, he is doing some wagon axleboxes and springs for me and wagon buffer housings.
I have asked him if he is interested in doing bits for other people and he is. I have also suggested WT to him .

Don't forget that CCTs were classed by the LNWR as carriage stock and built at Wolverton, rather than goods stock which was built at Earlestown. Best source of detail information from that era is probably Millard's WCJS, published by the HMRS, but even then its sparse.

Regarding the short ballast wagon, as the modellers drawing has PWD lettering it was probably done from a Crewe official photo of the Crewe deviation lines being built. I don't know of an official drawing and it does not appear in the 1903 diagram book, but is in the DNGR diagram book, so the dimensions from that are probably correct, except for the width!
