Another 4 wheel wagon, this one I made up into a box wagon, the door needs hinges still or I might even make up another door a bit different, the roof is (inside) is laser cut ply using the living hinge addon in Inkscape. The roof is corrugated card board, looks ok but would like to build a proper corrugated iron roller and use aluminium instead, there would be several rollers in series to do the job, found coke cans will split if rolled in one pair of rollers... Or find some softer aluminium sheet, will figure that out later, another job for the lathe.   This is a larger wagon, still a work in progress, But I like the way its going, It has exceeded the length limits of the K40 laser cutter when I designed it, so the stepper motor skipped a few steps when it hit the stopper, will have to design it in 2 parts....or grind the stopper back at each end so there is more travel. Not my bogie design, credit goes to the person that designed it, Edited 2021-11-13 22:43 by Revlac
