RSLaser Bain & Mitchell Wagon Co. Tom Schwarz Build Challenge

The box.
The manual.


Some of the contents.


Some of the parts in the original box weren't quite right , so Rich sent me the correct parts , because these were in an envelop without any worth on it they arrived earlier then the box because of customs and VAT.


The decal sheet, when I first saw them I thought Rich had made a mistake and sent me the H0 decals, they are quite large for an N-scale structure.

Fitting some bracing, although I don't think it needs much.
Glued in place , removed most of the glue with a cotton swab I always keep at hand for this.


First 2 base walls in place.


Windows go into the base walls.


Peel and stick outer walls assembled, fit perfect.


Peel and stick from 3M left over night so it will stick better, I find that peel and stick will stick better and better over time , have never had any come loose after building only during fixing sometimes.


Easy peasy.

[Janbouli]

The kit doesn't have flooring , so I'm going to use some of my recently acquired Metcalfe cobblestones.
Cut out to fit the floor.


Now I wish I hadn't braced , but it will do.


Fixed with transfer tape, now for the walkways.


Using Metcalfe pavement for the walkways.


Cutting out the notches for the porch posts.


Pavement fitted and stuck on with transfer tape.


Looks good to me.


Used artists markers to do the insides of the walls , now to decide on an interior or not.


Doing the windows, I like that although Rich didn't have a photo of the other side of the building he decided to do a whole row of windows instead of just a blank wall. They sure would have needed the light to work.

Do like the flooring you used. Keep up the good work.
The HO version coming soon, got busy on some other stuff.

Thanks Rich , I thought cobblestones would be the right type of flooring with steel banded wheels and such.

[PRR Modeler]

Interesting kit Jan. I'll be following.

[Dave K.]

The kit contains parts to make 2 wagons and spare parts , I have tried making one of these wagons before ( Rich sold them as a separate kit ) , not for me , just couldn't get a satisfying result. So I am going to use all the parts for an interior.
Beams added to the interior, although not in the manual , there's enough spare wood to make these.


Added a large carpenters table.


Made some shelves and trestles  , different parts leaning against walls and beams.


Added little people and paint cans and other items. It's 1960 and the wee people wear company clothing. They still make some wagons for farmers and shows , but they also make parts for Amish Buggies, more on that later.








Good enough for N-scale , it's hard enough to even look through the windows so it doesn't need more detailing.

Good use for the Wagons Jan.  I still find it hard to believe that this is "N" Scale. 
You do fantastic work for such a small Scale.

Really nice modeling Jan.

[Jerry]

Nice job Jan.  Anyone who can work with N scale deserves a lot of credit for doing such a fine job.
