Welsh Gambo

Trying to find plans for a specific farm-cart

[Bob Unitt 1Participant @bobunitt1]

Slightly off-topic as it's mainly wood – does anyone know where I might get the plans for a traditional Welsh Gambo farm-cart, or can anyone suggest a better forum for this question ?

TIA

Hobby's have the plan in two scales 1/8 and 1/12

Edit:  I found the plan using this website, which you might find interesting Scale Model Horse Drawn Vehicles

Isn’t there a Model Wheelwrights Association?

[Bob Unitt 1Participant @bobunitt1]

Brian – Thanks. I've used Hobby's before, good firm. I'll get my plans there once I've decided what scale I want.

Bernard – There used to be a Guild of Model Wheelwrights, but they appear to have folded in 2018.

John Thompson books and plans are good I have a monmouthshire waggon on the go at the moment which I am working with plans and his book "Making Model Horse Drawn Vehicles" which covers Haywain, Pony and trap and a farm waggon. It also contains some useful information on some of the construction especially the wheel type and how to make them.

Mine is made from Oak and the mortice and tenons are all cut. The mortices are just big enought to be able to file them out with a flat needle file
