Will be checking it out ASAP.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to thumb though your books.<br /><br />YanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673444445860206594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477613148069274.post-80210983868693797402010-01-22T22:10:45.980+00:002010-01-22T22:10:45.980+00:00Yan, you don't say if it's a 1923 or a 190...Yan, you don't say if it's a 1923 or a 1907 standard wagon. But the reference material would be the same for either of them - Bill Hudson's superb Private Owner Wagons Volumes 1-4.<br /><br />There are many examples I could choose from, but Plate 10 of Volume 3 has a clear picture of a 1923 eight plank fixed end wagon. It has five-leaf springs, but the bottom-most one is so short that it *does* look as though there are only four. It hardly pokes out of the sides of the axlebox.<br /><br />The shoes do look cast, but it is very difficult to tell at any sort of distance.<br /><br />FlymoFlymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830364621909116784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477613148069274.post-62779162451509908382010-01-18T07:16:10.251+00:002010-01-18T07:16:10.251+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
