1/32 GWR Cattle Wagon

How many people would be interested in the above, this would be from Walsall Eng, they currently produce a 10mm version but if there is enough interest they would consider converting the artwork to 1/32.

When I asked how much the artwork would cost to convert the answer was £80.

Surely its not just the etchings that need converting though Dave? What happens to the castings?

Hi Mark

I have spoken to Trevor Cousins who has told me the casting such as the axleboxes & Draw Hooks get used on both the 10mm & the 1/32 range of kits.

The only problem I can see is that they would be made of White Metal, I buy all my W Irons, Axleboxes and Draw Hooks From Ken Martin which are made from Loss Wax Castings.

If it's the original WEP cattle wagons blown up I have built a couple in 7mm but they lacked an interior which was noticeable in 7mm so in Gauge 1 I guess it would be even more so.
As for castings I know they were not perfect in 7mm so again it would be worse in Gauge 1 I fear hopefully you can find the correct parts in Ken Martins range.
