Mine tubs

[Hedzer]

If you have drawings and or photos of the mine tubs someone can make a printable cad model.
I'm happy to do that for you (it may take some time though, im very buzy at the moment....).

Here is a drawing I have, not sure how typical it is though.

Been meaning to do it myself, but my list of possible projects is also far too long.

Thats a pretty clear drawing, i can work with that. Some pictures would be nice for some details.
A big BUT, I am typing this message with plaster on my hands, I'm renovating my home...

It may take a month or two, to be continued.

There are several Minitrains short wheel base wagons that might provide a suitable chassis for a DIY mine tub. For example the Trash/Log car nos. 5104/3 whose wheel base is about 11.5mm. They have outside frames though.  The 009shop might have some at about

You could perhaps choose any RTR wagon that took your fancy and reduce its length/wheel base, by removing a slice from the centre and gluing the two bits back together again?

I have had some time to make a quick sketch of the model.







virtually behind my Deutz omz122:


I changed the dimensions a bid, well quite a bit, increasing the size of the mine tub by af factor of 1,5 compared to the origional drawing. if not this would happen:

These are the smallest wheels that i know of (the roco wheels used for its H0e stock).

Please be patient, it wil take a while before this model will be available!!!!! Time is still in short supply :-(.
