Steam era wagon modifications

I am gradually accumulating suitable wagons to run behind my steam locomotives. Some are old Piko models and the wheel flanges are too big to pass through turnouts smoothly and some flanges hit the chairs on track.

The offending wheels are turned down a little on my small Unimat lathe, much easier for this job than by big lathe.



Awaiting modification
