I don't have the tram so am not sure but what chassis does it have? The deluxe one or the budget one?

yes but be careful these i.p. kits maybe cheap but some are really daunting to construct like when I opened the box of the Shelley tram I got for Christmas I took 1 look and knew I wouldn't be able to do it without some parental guidance but its OK dad said he'd help me
wait 
how many months ago was that

I could do it with my grandads assistance though

The only reason I havent bought the rail bus kit is because I know it'll spend the rest of its life in pieces under my bed

If you want some nice wagons to go with a Mamod loco id recomend you look into the red tippers LGB do My mamod will pull around around 8 of them. I only have 5 of the tippers but have other wagons of around the same weight and it will pull a train of about 8 if not more
I think the tippers cost about £25 |
yes I do have some LGB tippers but they will never run on the garden railway as in my mind they are just to big and expensive so I have replaced them with 4 packets of binnie skips which altogether only cost £25 on ebay from a guy with exactly the same first and last name as me  (have not got round to building them yet)
the only LGB stock I intend to use regulary are the coaches  |
Do you want to sell those tippers if your not going to use them? |
sorry thought you ment the binnie ones if you mean the LGB ones I must warn you that I have replaced the wheels with bachmann big hauler wheels and have converted them to hook and chain couplers if you are interested in buying them PM me
