I scaled this up from a nicely done Gauge 1 design.
The limitations of my bed meant some parts had to be sliced to print and then joined together afterwards. I chose a 2-3-2 split for the chassis-bed-sides, in an effort to retain some strength upon assembly.
The axles are BMS and run in brass bushes in the axle boxes. The doors are hinged using 2mm threaded rod
For a total outlay of about a tenner, I'm pretty happy with it but there's certainly room for improvement.

Is that the one on Thingyverse? I have been looking at that one myself.

No, this wasn’t on Thingyverse (so far as I know)
I should have added that I’ve made it available in on TinkerCAD. Searching for my name or ‘mineral wagon’ should turn it up.
It could do with some dowels designing in to the body sides, base and chassis sides, to provide decent joints…
