Well done and quite out of the ordinary. Will you do a strip-down version too, or, does it already have an interior?

It's hollow. I couldn't find a drawing of the stripped down version, just photos.

Type D Wagon

Might need to look elsewhere for the video as the link within the link above didn't allow for access.

Obviously not steam-driven (and probably with good reason). Were they petrol-engined?

Yep, petrol. There were steam versions, I think they were repurposed industrial locos
