7/8ths Scale Summerlands GP Wagon


This is a 7/8ths scale Summerlands General Purpose (GP) Wagon. Designed by Chris Bird of Summerlands
Chuffer fame to be a multi-purpose cheap to build wagon for use with his Accucraft Quarry Hunslet. Well
i thought a few of these would look great behind Lilian so this is the first of 4. My ones will be simple flat
wagons but these can easily be turned into log, slab or bolster wagons. The construction of these wagons
is detailed here on Chris's website. He also designed the crates and you can see how these are made here.






















A slight change of plan inspired by some Raif Copley kits that Chris Bird recently built. Two of the GP Wagons have become one plank wagons.









Here's the rake including the Tool Wagon.
