Produced in the Moel Rhos works for the director’s nephew and niece… 3D printed wagons with a Lego deck for the kids to build on! The solebars are ‘borrowed’ from Rik Bennet’s Southwold short-wheelbase van and they are nicely robust.
The couplings are designed to be compatible with those on those bargain Tesco construction trains.
But it turns out the Mk1 coupler isn’t 100% compatible… further R&D is underway…
Still, they got there in time for Christmas and the kids have been building them into some rather smart carriages for Lego passengers:

Great idea Simon! Something like these might be a big hit here too!
Do you have a printer Mike – would you like the STL files? (I’m still working on the revised coupler – but can keep you posted.)
Neat idea Simon, I bet you were popular, and I am sure you are getting requests for more! Unique toy !
