Next step towards getting the stock ready for the new layout means I have been working on a few wagons.
First up are a couple of open wagons built from Cooper Craft kits, one of which has a sheet fitted.
Covered vans are again from Cooper Craft kits, slightly weathered.
Private owners are Slaters kits, loaded will real Welsh Steam Coal (as used in my 7 1/4" gauge loco). The Wilmer Swindon wagon has been hand painted.
The cattle wagon is another Cooper Craft k

Dear All,
If I can get this to work properly this is the first entry of an occasional series relating to the building of a small GWR layout in OO gauge. A few key facts are as follows:
It will be OO gauge but I plan on using handbuilt trackwork (soldered or fully chaired pointwork, not sure yet)
Set is the late 1920's/early 1930's it will be pure GWR, set in Wiltshire, possibly with a hint of the old Midland and Souther Western Junction Railway in it.
It will be a branch terminus
