45mm Slate wagon 25/01/12 06:04 PM (permalink)

Hello Guys,
 
I hope that you don't mind me asking this question here ??
 
I've been asked to produce a slate wagon kit in 45mm. What I have in mind, is expanding from 16mm by 39% so the wagon stays in proportion, but will then fit 45mm track. I believe this will make it basically 7/8's? This kit would be in brass etch, come with Binnie 29mm curly spoke wheels and cost £25 each. They could be ready to sell within 4-5 weeks.
 
Is this something that you guys would be interested in ????
 
Please feel free to PM or Email me.
 
Thanks,
Rob
Swift Sixteen.

    Are the Binnie wheels plastic/resin like their skips Rob? If they are, I understand that this will help to keep the price down, but personally that would put me off.

      Hi,
       
      They would be plastic, but you could always buy other wheels. I could even sell them without wheels for a few quid less?

          Sorry guys, I've decided not to go through with this project.
