Description
The real SXT sheep wagons, of which there were 10, were built in 1961 and 1962. They were built using two bodies from CXB 4-wheel sheep wagons mounted on a long bogie underframe.
The 3D printed version was similarly constructed by making two copies of the 3D drawing of the CXB sheep wagon and placing them on a bogie underframe, similar to that use for the VG van, but slightly longer.
The photo shows the unpainted model with added details made from brass wire as well as (modified) commercial bogies, wheels and couplers.
The is model is not for sale through the Gallery. See the Marbelup Models website for availability.

Marbelup Models
Marbelup Models offers a range of models based on narrow gauge locomotives and rolling stock of the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR). The models are in Sn3½ scale which is 1:64 scale, running on 16.5 mm gauge track to correctly represent the narrow gauge look of the prototype which is 1067 mm (3ft 6in) gauge. Please note that because the Prime Gray material is quite new, the long term durability and stability of models made from it are not known. These models will not be available for sale through the i.Materialise Shop, but they are available for sale direct from Marbelup Models. Visit the Marbelup Models web site for information on price and availability.
