40126's 16T Mineral Wagons Workbench

[BrushType4]

It sounds like the two steves could do a deal here!

Here's the 4 wagons purchased off eBay..



I have removed the plastic wheels & the couplings. Also removed the bodies from the chassis's.

The 3 'named' wagons are lima, the other is Tri-ang.

Ovomaltine - the German equivalent of Ovaltine - make nice malted chocolate bars only available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

I've never measured the Lima O scale wagons - do the bodies scale out at 1:43.5?

Looking good Stevie boy but you need to get that toothbrush out and clean off ALL the modelstrip then wash with warm soapy water.

I picked a couple more of them up at a local show at the weekend for £7.50 each, which I thought was quite reasonable
