Don’t have a resin printer? You may buy the model kit at N'Tastic Scale Models:https://www.coppermineminiatures.co.uk/product-page/thornycroft-pb-late-cab-cattle-lorry-closed-rampAfter upload of the cows a while ago https://www.printables.com/de/model/302165-cows-for-slopes-ramps-and-flat-surfaces-1-148I finally finished the cattle body for my Thornycroft-PB-type. Chassis/cab/wheels and driver figures of any version can be downloaded here:https://www.printables.com/de/model/302154-oit-thornycroft-pb-type-1-148https://www.printables.com/de/model/302164-cd-more-thornycroft-pb-versions-1-148The body can be printed with open or closed ramp. I also introduce here the fender guards, able to use with any other chassis/body of the PB-type.For loading/unloading scenes two “cowboys” are available to. Bottom of ramp and body is normally covered by straw. In my diorama I used some from Woodland Scenics, available in different lengths (I used FS620, 4mm):https://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/item/SGSFor H0/OO-scale the Faller straw 170776 might be the better choice, as in my eyes the Woodland one is a little to yellow, the Faller ones looks more naturally, but is only available in 6mm, what is too long for n-scale (in my view):https://www.faller.de/en/model-layout-construction/fields-meadow/1119/premium-ground-cover-fibres-straw-6-mm-30-g?number=170776I had my fun creating this model, hope it will be helpful to someone for his model railway or just for display. I would be happy to see your version.All models sized for British n-scale (1:148).
