Although it might seem a strange subject for a model, the Knackers cart was often a highly decorative vehicle.
As well as the plans taken from an 1896 issue of the "Art Journal" I have included an illustration of a well decorative model. Learn More

This cart is built especially strong, this on account of the rough setts with which so many of the Lancashire roads are paved,especially in the colliery districts.
As no horse could be expected to hold back a load of 2 tons on a hill, the cart has nave band brakes and the plan shows the mechanism in clear detail.
Removable extension boards are also shown, to allow for bulky loads of coke. Learn More

A crank axle sprung float which would have been used for taking livestock to market.
The low centre of gravity meant that it was a stable vehicle ,and also made loading the animals easier.
A row of turned spindles on the sides and tailgate are a nice decorative feature. Learn More

Being drawn to a large scale this plan makes it easier for you to incorporate all the details of this smart carriage.
The spindle sides make a pleasing contrast to the style I had drawn,and the clear cutting patterns make an excellent subject for anyone just staring on carriage modelling. Learn More

Beautiful regatta cutter dating from 1898,which the prestigious sailor Eric Tabarly saved from a miserable fate,rescuing it from the muddy Loire corner where it was run aground.
When he was just seven years old. Eric Tabarly was out walking with his father Guy Tabarly when suddenly the beautiful hull appeared jutting out from the rushes,and with his child's logic he said to himself 'that is no place for a boat to be'.
From that very moment a love was born, the first love of a man who gave everything to the sea and who the sea carried away, as the two sailed together the waters of Southeast Wales on the night of 14 June 1998; the same year that the Pen Duick reached it's hundreth birthday.
