Bahmann (ex- VDA) Timber Carrier

[drewn]

Hi there,

 

Can anyone tell me what the actual timber load is made from?  The reason I ask is that I once bought a Hornby timber carrier and had to use a Ten Commandments load, made of resin.  This was  much too heavy and rendered the wagon too top-heavy 

 

Is the load on the Bachmann model the same material ???

Yes, It's a  resin cast but not too heavy and the wagon runs fine.

Those wagons look superb - beautifully weathered.  So is the trackwork.  Indeed, the whole scene is just perfect.

Thanks. Here are the wagons at Crianlarich before they were loaded.

Hi Drew

The Bachmann load has I think too bigger logs and every wagon looks the same.

Try cutting small twigs about 2mm in Dia. and make your own there are plenty around this time of the year.

The difference is amazing.
