Okay, I have a question for the 8-wide builders here. I’m pretty sure you must
be having a sizeable number of 6 x 24 and 6 x 28 train bases leftover from
offical sets because you don’t use them. So what do you do with all of them?

OK, a bit bigger than 8-wide, but still applicable...
I have used 6x24 bases for 4-wheel wagons, like these two brake vans:

I also have another brake van and six 32ft tube wagons (pics to follow soon).
I convert the tanker kits to 4-wheel operation too, since the only prototypical
British bogie tanker of that size is a chlorine tanker, which would have a thick
horizontal red stripe round the tank.
I have tried low-loader 6x34 bases as 4-wheel wagons too

but these have some trouble reversing into a curved siding, since there’s no
room for a wheel coupling mechanism under each wagon.
