Next job is to sheet over the top of the decks with thin plasticard to cover the rivet holes and using Slaters embossed sheet make the decking for the well.

 

Obviously the bogies just clip into the mountings and luckily I had some wheels from a couple of Parkside kits spare , here it is primed for painting ;

Here we are with the base coat on ( the transfers are from a Dapol brake van kit ! so are completely wrong , but they just add that little extra detail )

All in all a fun little project and obviously it would have been better with accurate transfers but I am happy with the way its turned out .

Good looking wagon! Are these accurate models of any particular diagram?

Cheers,
