I made some card wagons for my Jack's layout some time ago, but these were direct copies of a 'Troublesome truck' from the Hornby Thomas collection, on an old Hornby brake van underframe.
Cheers, Gary.

I don`t know Ron.?????…..add some weathering to that wagon….maybe a load inside and I reckon it`ll look pretty damn good.
I consider that a good effort…

IMHO I reckon if you were using a paper based card, the scribing would not look as good as paper strips. The card tends to swell slightly with the addition of paint and the scribe marks become less defined. If you were to use plastic card however, the scribe marks would be unaffected and give you that crisp finish that we all desire.I reckon that's a great first effort Ron. I just wonder if it would have been easier to scribe the planks onto the card rather than use seperate strips of paper. The strapping is very effective.
Personally, I like the choice of paper strips. They give that plank by plank individual look but they must be a pain to apply to the model.??

Nice looking wagon. Bit of weathering and a load of coke, bees knees.

Welcome to the wonderful world of scratchbuilding, your wagon looks great. I can't wait to see the next model. I have found a way to set up card strips and get the spacing even. Simply use dressmaking pins (with the glass heads) as spacers on your base material and when you want to remove them you just twist them gently. There are some really thin pins available these days and they give a good spacing. I have scribed card in the past with great results but I had to modify the tool used. I will see if I can get a photo of the scriber that I use.

That planked wagon looks great - I love the strapping and I think the slight gpas etc. make it look "used". As Gormo said, a bit of weathering and it will be first rate. Well done indeed.

The hopper wagon has some strange angles in it but you've conquered that problem superbly. I'm looking forward to the passenger car - or can you just use a narrow gauge "tumbril" and show it taking miners into the pit ……………..:roll::roll::roll:
