As it seems delivery of gondola wagons from Mini Train Systems is still some way off, I had been thinking about building another interim wagon to use, especially as the pair of bogies I had ordered from DNC were due to arrive soon.
After figuring out a design in my head one afternoon, I started work and had the wagon built by the following afternoon. The 2 m long timber frame is pine, left over from the pallets used for the track shipment. As with the driving wagon, the bolsters are 50 x 50 steel from a spare fence post. The floor is melamine coated chipboard from a former potting bench which we dismantled some time earlier.
After a coat of paint and some additional seating.
The wagon frame: mostly timber.
