Allen, I did not draw up my own plans.  There are lots of books with the 
construction details in them.  However, I do have a drawn set of plans I 
got from somewhere so they exist on the market, or did.  The plans I 
have for the wooden frame wagon are by A. J. R. Dando and are labeled 
W001.  They are in 7 1/4" gauge, but that can easily be widened to 7 
1/2" without worry.  I have no idea where I got the plans since they 
came along with a lot of paperwork when I bought an unfinished 7 1/2" 
Schools locomotive about 15 years ago.  I obtained the wheel castings 
from Reeves a long time ago before they were reorganized.  It could be 
that the plans came from Reeves also, but I have no way of knowing.    
The plans I have are fairly ragged and have been cut and pasted into 
several smaller sheets.  All the various parts are there but the plans 
are sure a bit difficult to read.  Is there anything I can do to help 
you out?
