BWA coil wagon

Cambrian BBA kit converted to BWA coil wagon with the edition of five excellent Colin Craig etched cradles, they are easy to solder up with the slot and tab method. Need to be faced with thin wood to protect damage to the coils, which are made of 10 thou plastic with banding cut from thin strips of masking tape. Got 6 of these to do , were destined for my Great Coates layout , but for now will be used on the Avesta Sheffield layout which is part built.Used to convey imported coil from Grimsby to Sheffield SPACE for finishing and Grimsby to Wolverhampton with finished steel coil

Nice job Baz,

 

I'm doing some 'Gunshot' BAAs with Colin's cradles for Dragon Steels.

 

Look forward to seeing it finished.
