Britains farm trailers

Just wondering if the litttle trailers would be the right proportionate scale next to a mamod TE they are 1:32 scale.

I thought of having one full of coal to drag behind the TE as you see this quite a lot a steam rallies on real engines.

Any Thoughts welcomed

Cheers

I suspect 1/32 might be a bit small, but it might look ok. You do get small trailers in real life.

I might just take a chance on it to try as its only cheap havent got one to put next to the TE

If it's too small then you could always put it back up for sale.

It's important to give your traction engines something to pull. It's what they're for.

I have seen pictures of traction engines in modern times pulling little farm trailers like that, it seems to me they are used to carry paraphernalia to and from rallies, like watering equipment, overnight stuff, fuel, et cetera. If you feel like painting and decorating it, you could put bits of hose on it, and coal, and scale firing implements, and a ladder or something to make it look like one of these tenders.

that sounds like a great idea, i have a mamod wagon too but i thought this might be good for the te1 to tug

I have been thinking of a trailer myself, and if you have a look on the CJW site there is a nice little "Dog Trailer", at various prices from kit form upto a fully built kit-Si
