I think we need some shorter wheelbase wagons!

Ouch

Or a horse.

Rugga skips are on the way...

Fantastic I don't suppose you know how to make them loadable and unloadable so that we can actually load empty wagons at X and then take the full ones to Y and unload them?

[sp762]

Well, yes. (In theory, anyway.) I'm not entirely sure whether it's possible to animate the unloading process.... and we need to build some suitable loading/unloading facilities.

Corris No 1 shuffles some ruggas at Ravenshill Wharf.

Still to model the iconic Vee Tippers, but getting the hang of it now. Also need to figure out bounding boxes, couplers (chopper) and why only one wheelset is rotating - also need to build a 2' gauge loco - this yin crunches on the ballast something chronic.

I've also built the Rugga chassis in 2'3 and all the bodies are interchangeable.

Nice shots, sp. Are they available for download (question for the stupid, I know).

[sp762]

Not yet...

Very nice, Mike.

You can have a copy of my couplings, if you like (as seen on the baldwin)

Yes, please, Kev.

Also, happy to test out the Baldwin for you - are you building a 2' version or is it 2'3?

Once I have the hang of getting wagons running properly, I'll get back to locos...

Also, do you have any thoughts on narrow gauge fizziks that you feel up to sharing?

Incidentally, I'm going to move this thread to the rolling stock forum, where it rightly belongs.

I'll send the couplers over.

The Baldwin will be released for use on 2ft track, but I'll almost certainly release one for 2ft 3in as well. Either the GVT baldwin or a Snailbeach version.

I have no idea about physics and you would need to talk to Richard (portbury) who kindly does them for me .

Cheers,
Kevin

[sp762]

Thanks for the files kevin - might be worth uploading them as an asset to other builders...

[kevmt]

Sounds a good idea. I'll put it on my "to do" list.
Cheers,
Kevin

[sp762]

Thanks again to Kevin for the assist... here are some 2'3"ruggas at Corris.



The first three are oil drums used as tanker wagons.



The one in front is a 'Monster' flat wagon - not a WR Monster van, obviously.

Just need to tweak some more and figure out loading and unloading, plus fizzicks. Should be a bumper pack of about 6 different wagon types. Are the axleboxes too long on this one?

Looking really good Mike. Nice to see some more NG

Cheers,
