OK, Back to 4mm.

The first wagon is actually one you have seen before, only last time it had no numbers and the 'NW' was much much smaller. It was grating at me so I decided to give it a small make over to fit the 'company style' I've invented. Kind of a cross between GW for the lettering and SR for the tare weight and serial number positions, yet, NW. Eeugh.

So, I've re weathered it to look a little newer. Still has my buggered plank that I quite like.

This other one is a new one, this time fitted with one fixed axle per instructions and the other with a Bill Bedford unit. The van I did like this runs well so I thought I'd try a straight build like it also. A SR prototype this time and weathered a lot. I can imagine 'Cond' ' being chalked on soon. Apart from plain excuse there is actually a fair reason why a SR wagon is in fictitious NW livery, but I won't go into that here. The first wagon is plain grey with black under frame iron work, and the second is the same but with black strapping. I model both styles.

The rear of them both at the most interesting side. At the left wagon is some severe rusting complete with paint crazing.

This effect also to my eye gives a rust effect that is probably way out of scale, but I like it. Varnish sprays and too much glue sometimes give similar effects and I haven't perfected a perfect job yet. On wagons however, I don't mind and sometimes do it on purpose.

To the right is the new build wagon. Here I scribed some plank detail in two of them because I've seen this before on the prototype and rather like the visual contrast it gives. Also, a 'new' plank has replaced an old one, or rather I've painted it in. Really easy to do by the way. Couplings are yet to be added, but that isn't going to interest you so for the sake of this upload, it's complete. There is a pip on the buffer I see, must file that off.
