Engineering in Miniature (EiM) is your friend for this:

Doug Hewson wrote a long-running highly detailed constructional series covering a variety of wagons in 5″ gauge in this publication.

 

Standard 12 ton mineral wagon drawing to 1923 RCH regs.: EiM Vol 8, No.12, May 1987, page 360.

BR steel 16 ton standard mineral wagon: series commences  EiM Vol 10, No.12, May 1989, page 366.

 

Here is a searchable index for EiM.

 

Model Engineer has had some wagon construction plans and explanations, but nothing as detailed as the Doug Hewson series in EiM.

Phil.

Addendum:

Suddenly thought that you just might not know that you can contact Mr Hewson directly, he has a range of plans for 5″ rolling stock and parts available.

He advertises in Model Engineer occasionally but I cannot spot his ad’ in the current issue, here is his website,  telephone: 01652 688408. 

 

(Hope that I am not sounding patronising, but on consideration your question suggests that you may not know of Doug Hewson’s work.)

 

Best wishes, Phil
