I'm just about to start building one of my Deutz Locos and would like to give it something to drag along behind... so my first question is are there specific German narrow gauge wagons that would have been used on the Western Front or would they have used captured French and British ones?
Question two is if there are specific German wagons does anybody have plans or drawings (or know where I can find them) or failing that dimensions and a good reference for pictures?
As you'll have guessed I'm a complete train novice hence the clueless questions
Thanks
Bern

May I ask what scale you're building in? I am preparing models of the two most common wagen used by the Feldbahn. They, along with a Deutz Lok, are in traditional 1/32 scale.
Thanks Jack but I'm building in 1/72 scale so your wagons will be way too big for my little Deutz.
I had a good look through my own references last night and found a great set of plans for a Feldbahn Brigadewagen in Colonel Pechot: Tracks to the Trenches so will use those... I wasn't expecting to find plans for German wagons in that book so it was a nice surprise.
Regards
Bernie

Thanks John, I have that book but when I looked through it last night I could only find one picture of a Brigadewagen and not from a particularly helpful angle, you're right though it is a great book with some excellent images.
