Modifying Hartland Wagon Kits for the Culcreuch Fold Garden Railway

An article in Garden Railways started me on this build from a 4 wheel H L W kit

First gather the kit and other materials

Following article at this stage. Sides are from a locally (NZ) produced injected moulded styrene siding

Nearly there

In service

Anther makeover was this boom car for the MOW crane


This time a Hartland bogie flat car is modified. 3½ inches removed from centre to make a well wagon.

Well framing, 4mm styrene, in place

Cool stuff, I did one of those caboose kitbashes also.
