I think you mean BrickShelf rather than Brickbay unless you're going to be
selling these... which would be cool!


These wagons were built for very light railways and industrial lines, in
fact some were built without the longitudinal drawbaw for handworked or
horsedrawn lines. The basic chassis was used for a variety of purposes and
some distinctly home-brewed efforts have been photographed.

These models are approximatly to technic figure scale but are more based on
the size of the arch pieces used for the ends. I think the size is about
right and the tight corners of lego track are very suitable for a narrow
gauge industrial line

You've really captured a spindly look with a nice dose of build your own
(the middle flat). Nice work. Thanks for sharing. So what sort of engine
powered these? A stationary steam donkey? Miners hand pushing them? A tiny
Plymouth diesel?
