Well I don’t know about cool but... I made a small Hornby MO type wagon as a test to see if I can make stuff before buying more tools. It’s still a bit rough as am still waiting for some files to arrive. Hopefully will look OK once finished and painted.

Looks great, maybe do a how to on a new post. I m sure that a lot of folks would like to try and make one
Are the folded sides soldered together after he bend or are they just made tight.
Did you use a brake to do the bending or a vice?

Thanks RonH.

Great Suggestion I will start a new how to thread shortly.

At this stage I have only rudimentary tools so had to make do with bending them in a vice. The sides are all folded tight and no soldering.

I will post the plans I made aswell.
