Sheet Riding Truck

Water Cart
Our riding truck is a ¼ scale model of an actual water tanker that was used as a tender for 2 ploughing engines, one of which is located at the Booleroo Steam and Traction Preservation Society, as is the water tanker. Our riding trucks will be a faithful reproduction of that tanker and we are still producing components for it. However some of those components ( such as the springs and their bases, axles and turntable rings) are suitable for use with any sort of body as you feel fit to produce. Plans are available if you want to build the same unit or use as a basis for your own design.
