Do any of the G scale (I hate using that term for a scale) suppliers make a simple wagon of smaller proportions to the LGB flat wagons that could be adapted to run with my Bachmann trams, thanks?
Some of the SM32 kits available might suit, perhaps (those made suitable for 45mm wheelsets) - a few seemed to pop up on eBay, from a quick glance.Do any of the G scale (I hate using that term for a scale) suppliers make a simple wagon of smaller proportions to the LGB flat wagons that could be adapted to run with my Bachmann trams, thanks?
Very nice generator wagon.
Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for, now to find some at a reasonable price.Have you looked at the Grizzly Flats wagons, LGB 32411 being an open coach variation. They did do an open with doors I think. If you can get them at a good price very adaptable. Even have tramway type of chassis.

I asked for some wagons and again someone on the forum came to my aide and I now have 3 Bachman tram size compatible wagons, the one at the end is what I would call a standard LGB sized wagon.I have four in green, that I have not used much. PM me if you wish to discuss, no photos now, but I can get some taken.
Aesthetically, probably yes.Just a dry run just now, this frame is about 10mm shorter than the Grizzly Flats underframe and circa 3mm wider.
My question; do folks think I have made sufficient wagon deck support brackets?
I am not quite sure if you are saying, but I am going to take aesthetically yes, thanks.Aesthetically, probably yes.
However, I have never built wagons in the 1:1 world but I would be asking myself, if it needs three outer support brackets each side, why does it only need two cross members,
From a brick-on-brick builder's logic, if a span needs supporting, then it needs the same support wherever
Then I started thinking that what you have there are supports for longitudinal members before you install the decking planks across the width
