It started several years ago when I was talking to a gent while demoing at a show and he mentioned that he had some 1:43 scale horse drawn carriages. I was most surprised when at the next show I was demoing at he brought one along and offered it to me. Funds changed hands and I happily brought home this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"794\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0005-1-1024x794.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4946\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0005-1-1024x794.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0005-1-300x233.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0005-1-768x596.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0005-1-387x300.jpg 387w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0005-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Brumm Carriage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"780\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0004-2-1024x780.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4945\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0004-2-1024x780.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0004-2-300x229.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0004-2-768x585.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0004-2-394x300.jpg 394w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0004-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Brumm Carriage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"883\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-3-1024x883.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4944\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-3-1024x883.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-3-300x259.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-3-768x662.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-3-348x300.jpg 348w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Brumm Carriage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">my intentions have always been to use it as a load for one of the open Carriage trucks that I have part built. What I didn&#8217;t notice until some time after bringing it home was that one of the carriage lamps was missing. I am not complaining because to be honest the lamps are a bit cheesy and do let down what is other wise not a bad model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A discussion with a friend brought this to mind and I decided to have a go at doing something about it. I made a prototype to prove the concept but it was a bit on the big side so I made a couple more which are pretty much dead on for the size of the one that remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"835\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0001-3-1024x835.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4943\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0001-3-1024x835.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0001-3-300x245.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0001-3-768x626.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0001-3-368x300.jpg 368w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0001-3.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>7mm Scale Carriage Lamps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1003\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-4-1024x1003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4949\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-4-1024x1003.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-4-300x294.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-4-768x752.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-4-306x300.jpg 306w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_0002-4.jpg 1129w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the best photo in the world but these things are pretty small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since dabbling with horse drawn vehicles I have been able to scratch an itch that I have had for a while.
