Both good ideas. I’m just about to venture out to the shed to cut the brass floors, I may be sometime.
The picture below shows some Mark Wood wheels that I intend to use on one of the wagons. I wanted to make up some all brass wheels with straight spokes but the more I thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed to become. A chap in Australia wrote an article re building O gauge wheels which is where the idea came from. He used steel tyres but I wanted brass. My idea was to have one wagon completely made of brass that would left without any paint.
Anyway, I’ve ordered another set of castings that will machine up as those in the picture.
