Transporter wagon

[Tim Parsonson]

The Bemo ones would be ideal for my purposes

Sorry, Tim, what "Bemo ones" are you talking about?

I saw a reference somewhere to a Bemo model that was a pair of bogies to carry a SG wagon. Can't fnd it now of course and anyway I think they are not made any more, just the offchance of a second hand pair I guess! Based on some of the ones shown in the photos here I suppose.

Look very similar to log bolster wagons in concept. If the transporter wagon does not need to be functional in that it is not a requirement to load the SG wagon on to the transporter and take it off again but is permanently fixed then how about 'kit bashing' a pair of skip chassis with a standard gauge wagon body (except the SG wheels etc are still in place)? Effectively it would be a bogie wagon with an oversized body and some redundant wheels.

They might work, but bear in mind they are pretty small in rail life. My Bemo ones are 14mm wheelbase with 5mm diameter wheels.

I wasn't sure whether he meant the Bemo SG/NG drop down section, hence my question!

The Czech line I model uses ones with outside frames which may be an alternative, dimensions may be about the same:

I tried it. It is just too tight unfortunately. The flanges of an OO/HO wagon run on the frame of the Minitrains skip. If one was modelling in P4 or EM though.  :)

The wagon show is the lilliput one with a set of wheels removed from each bogie. As stated previously they are not very free running. I also covered all of the brake gear and framework up to make it look more like a Leak and Manifold wagon

I've been very kindly offered a pair of Bemo ones ( in fact two pairs, one made up and one kit form) in another place, so thanks all for the useful comments.

I've now got a couple of sets of the BEMO Rollbocken, so if anyone has any help in utilising them that would be great. I've decided that I would like to try mounting/dismounting rather than fixing the SG wagon so any help re this, and coupling them to 009 stock would be helpful. Pics too if poss. TIA.

If you want to mount/dismount them then you'll need that Bemo "drop down" section I showed you on page 1. I think I may have a used one somewhere but haven't a clue where. Otherwise it's a question of you firing up your search engine and looking for one!

I've never seen one used, though, except in 0e which is a bit less fiddly. When I use mine they will be permanently attached to the wagon.

Again couplings, from what I've seen and the Wiki page they use the SG couplers to couple together, with or without a barrier wagon.

BTW I've only ever seen them referred to as Rollbock(s) until now, seems the Dutch spelling puts an "en" on the end!

This may be of use for the prototype photos, though I think the models are in a larger scale to ours!
