Here's what I came up with when thinking about what to build with the

Dan Parker (PNLTC) and James Mathis about 3 years ago (thanks guys). I first
saw this when Dan showed us and I couldn't believe the center wheel, "how
weird", but cool to model for something different. A simple design but
captures the essence. I can't seem to find any images of these on-line,
anyone over in Europe have a link?

Very nice waggons, Steve!

I love these very old tri-axles a lot and the idea with the minifig hand
inside a lightholder is brilliant and will be copied for sure. Concerning the
prototypes there have been waggons made by Maerklin and there is a prototype
picture in one of the last years gallery of the ISCC.

Carsten ('CAL') has built a 8-wide version of this waggon with a nice rounded
base. Check it out here.
