Late night session at the workbench last night saw the first 6 Redland PGA's weathered to a grubby state.

Time wise on the board the wagons would have been very close to the overhauls that saw them painted white & rebranded with the LaFarge logo so thats my excuse for the distressed Redland look !!

Not seen any ballast loads for PGA's before so going to have a crack at filling the inside on some examples with packing, then a layer of fresh grey stone on the top.

9 ECC variants await similar treatment as well as several yellow/grey Seacows which I do have the ballast loads for.

Hopefully a big day of modelling awaits tmow............

Shaping up nicely there Jon- I find particuarly amusing the Leicester City tag. Will you be looking at adapting the over scale Hornby couplings to fit another type of coupling. ?

Hi Chris,

 

Kadee conversion will follow in due course hopefully. May even look into 3 link. A subject I need to do a bit of research on, they cant stay like they are, thats for sure !
