Title: Ffestiniog HiAb wagon
Post by: John Brooks on March 05, 2022, 20:46
Good evening all, first time posting, long time modeller but just got into 009 recently.
I have been fascinated with Rob Wallers' Bron Hebog and all the unusual service vehicles.

I have successfully 3D printed a decent facsimile of the powered access wagon and just in the process of finishing the twin tool vans although I have mounted mine on Peco flat wagons as opposed to how the real ones are mounted (it wasn't blindingly obvious at the time of design what they were sat on).

I am just in the process of designing the HiAb crane vehicle but I am struggling finding any decent photos of the stuff that is sat under the crane mast.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello John,

Welcome to 009 modelling and the Society Forum. I hope you find answers to your questions. That is an impressive bit of 3D modelling you are showing.

There are some massively more knowledgeable people around than me concerning the FR. I guess you have already found the Festipedia pages which includes information on their rolling stock. An example for the item you are modelling is here: https://www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/Flat_wagon_with_crane (https://www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/Flat_wagon_with_crane)

Good luck. Julian
