Lego Limbers

This is a fake Lego brick.  One of the problems with horse and musket artillery is they often don't have limbers, and caissons.  By using a few cheap products I have been able to work out this problem.

These two pin bricks are an excellent size for a US Army limber from at least the American Civil War to the Second World War.  Cut the two pins off with a pair of sprue cutters.

Use a pair of needle nose pliers to break off the interior pin.  Some knockoff bricks don't have the interior pin.

Here are before and after photos.

Use a rat tail file to cut a semi-circle pair of grooves into the sides.

It looks like this when it's done.
