thought you might be interested in a couple of bits I made a couple of years ago. I had been entrusted with the care of my emigrating friend's SL1, and decided to build a railway for it. Of course it came with the log wagon and open wagon but everyone has these and being a modeller I decided to build my own stuff. Using the IP Lollipop range as a basis (I ripped it off basically ) I produced my own copies. I used an old tinplate chassis under the open coach, and a Faller plastic O gauge chassis under the box van. All they need now is couplings and the buffers painted. They are really easy to make, all you need is an old chassis, and a sheet of thin ply. The vans roof is made of card.
