I'll soon be in a position to start production of the Maenofferen tank waggon now I've successfully produced a master and test casting of the chassis.
As I explained in a post a couple of days ago, this uses the Dundas 3-ton waggon floor which has been extended at each end.
To make it easier to fit the wheels, however, I opted to design it to use the solebar and axle box part from the kit which slots neatly into place.
The waggon kit will be a relatively simple one, with two big blocks of tank to fit together - and fill / file any obvious join mark - and the floor part.
The other vital bit is the domed cap of the tank filler which is done as a separate casting.
For simplicity for customers I am thinking that for this kit I will look at supplying the kit with the wheels and Dundas parts included.
However, I don't intend to carry a large stock at any time so expressions of interest now would be helpful so I can gauge how many bits I need to buy in.
Emails to the Boston Largs Works address, please.
