Tramway Luggage Van (Elsie) (HO) by CraftyNerd

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

I wanted to make a train set based on the Railway Series story "Tobys Vintage Train" for those who have read the story it only consists of Toby the tram engine, Henrietta, and Victoria. but on Wilbert Awdrys Farquar's layout, there is a small Luggage coach that is known as Elsie. so like a few others, they add this character to their set. most places her at the end but some will put her behind Toby, though it looks a bit odd. I will admit, it is a bit on the small side. in the future, I may scale it up a bit to be the same height as Henrietta.
I have provided both a Faceless and Non-Faceless variant of the van for your liking. I don't have any wheels for printing. I recommend using scaled 33" wheels. if you go for larger wheels they may get stuck or require modification to the model.
(updated 1/5/2021; I added a V.2 that attempts to make Elsie the same heights as a Bachmann Henrietta same wheels are used and may make a V3 some time for 36" HO/OO wheels)
