G'evening all,
I had some thoughts regarding the usage of a nursery railway on 15" track and developed a more modern (?) looking prototype of a nursery wagon with an exchangable "cartridge", i. e. for 2 standardized fruit crates (as shown) ... or a bigger crate ... or split logs ... or with a water tank ... or with a power generator ...
In reality this wagon would be built with a metal framework, covered with metal sheet. I used styrene on this 1/22,5 version. The drawings I made on the computer, printed them on self-adhesive paper, cut out the parts and removed the self-adhesive paper. Then, again follwing Marc's recommendations, this low detailed prototype was coloured with 3 different colours of brown, applied with a sponge, followed by a coat of yellow colour. The first time in my life I tried the chipping technique, having applied 2 coats of hairspray before putting on the yellow colour on.
As a matching loco I would think about an AGV AL-3 (http://kalderen.net/Lok/AGV/AGV13.JPG) like the one owned by Olov Kalderén ...

Kind regards
I just can't get enough of this cute Big-Scale stuff.
Thanks, Gerald!!
G'evening all,
While involved in the struggle of building a Feldbahn locomotive in 1/22,5 scale from brass, I decided to have something different during the holidays and pulled out the "Gn15 Modern Feldbahn Wagon" and overworked it.
This prototype construction is completely scratchbuild from stryrene. I made the drawings for flat surfaces/parts again on the PC, printed them on self-adhesive paper, applied them on styrene sheet (0,5mm thick) and cut out the parts and removed the self-adhesive paper. The styrene strips (various width and thickness) where cut to length with my Boehler circular saw. This time I used acetone to glue the parts together, just to avoid deformation caused by common plastic/modelling glue as happened to my Struppe Akkulok. The wagon finally was mounted to a Bachmann® arch bar freight truck.
The loading platform is in accordance with the dimensions of an Europalette, loading and unloading could be done with a forklift sidewise. Other variations like a flatcar or a gondola are imaginable, combined with various equipment as well as i. e. generator/compressor, water tank etc. which would make this type of wagon a multifunctional wagon for horticulture, light industrial or workshop purposes i. e. carpentry (palett factory) , winery, hospitals (laundry transport) etc. As a matching loco I still think about an AGV AL-3 *klick* (http://kalderen.net/Lok/AGV/AGV13.JPG) like the one owned by Olov Kalderén.
Coming next will be the colouring and weathering ...

Those are really neat and beutifully built little cars. I really like your results with the paint, chipping and rust....very believeable and realistic.

Hello, bonjour, howdy ...
even though I turned meanwhile to another modelling project, the IR-controlled brass loco, I couldn't resist building another of these little Gn15 wagons, which are really fun to build ... :D

This version is more a kind of flat wagon, even it has low bulkheads, built from the same parts and in the same way. The bulkheads have the height of a pallette. The strips on the loading platform will prevent palletts from slipping sideways. Instead of common palletts I can imagine the transport of pallett-containers at some kind of commercial property or regarding the disposal of wastes ...
