NBR fish truck in OO scale 16.5mm
Posted: Sun Mar 17, 2024 9:38 am
I built a GCR covered fish truck recently, and here is an open Fish Truck as used on the NBR.
This is simply repainted from a Dapol 3 plank wagon, so is meant as a representation.
The only modification was metal wheels, a bar between axleboxe W irons, and a new handbrake lever to approximate the horizontal design.
I have to put the vacuum or other brak hose(s) to the ends. See Mick's link below for extra information.
The load was supplied by naaron88.com in Hungary.
Each crate measures about 8mm long, which I guess is about the size of a fish crate from the first two decades after 1900.
I believe they may have been carried without a lid on occasions.
First an image of another model, possibly O gauge and from this parish?
