Hello everyone,
Well I have had time to have a think about how to fill the gaps on this wagon and I had a bright idea on how to do it.
The inspiration came from "Edd China" from "Wheeler Dealers".
Magnates two of will be required. Other tools required are soldering iron, flux, brass sheet that is the same thickness or as close to as the kit you can get too. and solder.First thing to do is to cut 2 strips of brass roughly 2mm X 45mm, I used a mini cutting disc to cut my strips of, then clean the edges up and test fit

They might be of a tight fit but keep felting until that they fit the slots. When you feel comfortable with the fit of both strips use the magnates to hold the strip in place and tack into place at the top and bottom of the slots.

I left the magnates in place to complete the soldering of the strip in place so that the material is flush with the wagon end. Then repeat the process on the other side. Allow the work to cool for a couple of hours. Like I did, so I did and had a cup off coffee and made a start on a brass building kit that was begging to be made.

Returning to the wagon it was a case of cleaning the ends up with a mini drill and some sanding disks (course, medium and fine) and if things have worked you should end up with a much improved wagon end.

I hope that this has give people out there something to think about as I am very pleased with the result.
I shall be thinking of how to replicate the ridges of the wagon as I have done a internet search and have found some half round brass tube that might do the job, but more of that in due course.

I hope people find this information useful and is put to good use.

Thank you for reading my blog.
