OIT - Thornycroft Steam Wagon (1-148)

thingiverse

In several books you may find a photo of a Thornycroft steam wagon loaded with an furniture road-rail container of “William Whiteley Ltd. London” and dated back to 1919. So far this is the earliest evidence of a container transported on motorized vehicle I could find. However at this time many trucks should already been withdrawn from war time service to several British railways and it can be assumed, that these were also used to transport similar road-rail containers. For building one model, you need at least: 1x chassis (normal or long) 1x steam boiler 2x wheels aft 1x wheel fore (straight, turning left or right) 1x platform (normal or long, as per chassis) optional driver figure optional the furniture container (consisting of container and its bottom) For filling the coal bunker I use model coal made by Busch 7071: https://www.busch-model.info/000007071.4 The long version of this lorry is made for containers available from PECO: https://peco-uk.com/collections/2mm-n/products/lms-furniture-removals-pack-of-2 All models sized for British n-scale (1:148). The models should be fine in other scales… conversion values: Continental N-scale, 1:160 -> 92.5% TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 123% HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 170% OO/00-gauge, 1:76 -> 195% S-gauge, 1:64 -> 231% O-gauge, 1:48 -> 308% PDF-upload doesn't work at Thingiverse, so use the following link to download the PDF with decals: https://www.printables.com/de/model/355028-house-removal-1-148/files
