O16.5 Glyn Valley Tramway 4 ton single bolsters (for resin printers)

thingiverse

when the Glyn valley tramway first opened under horse drawn power in 1873 it possesed two single bolster sets comprised of 4 flat wagons each, the outer two having fixed bolsters with stakes, not unlike the examples preserved today on the Ffestiniog (however it must be noted that they weren't identical). These lightly constructed vehicles were rendered obsolete with the arrival of the Beyer peacock tram locomotives in the 1890s, and so the GVT ordered two new sets to replace these, these would last until the closure of the line these new sets utilized the same underframe as the 4 ton granite wagons, each set was comprised of four vehicles arrainged in an A-B-B-A configuration. The loading gauge of the GVT allowed loads of around 36 foot in length to be carried comfortably, although there are reports of longer being carried on occasion. Typically a loaded bolster set would be coupled to the rear of the train behind the brakevan. in the included file you will find one each of the A and B bolsters, you will need to print off two of each and arrange them in the formation seen in the photos, alternatively the B bolster can be used by itself as an early flat wagon. all wagons are designed to take Hornby/Bachmann/Dapol 12.5mm wheelsets and have NEM pockets built in.
