Cleaning and a wagon.

Time for spring cleaning so I have given the railway room a good  going over this week. Dust accumulates and I’d rather be making stuff but if I don’t keep on top of it I will have twice as much to do as all the stock fills up with fluff. Not to mention all the points, signal and things that just seem to jam up if you don’t.

 

However essential cleaning is it cannot be described as photographically interesting.

 

This is a LNWR D 466 open carriage truck made from the 51L etched brass kit. Would it have run on CR metals ? Possibly, taking a carriage  to the shooting estates of the rich perhaps. Who knows what is under that sheet.

 

So here it is, tidied up and fitted with magnetic ajs.

A lovely wagon Dave, with some rather nice underframe detail. Interesting arrangement for fixing the roping, haven't seen that before.

I think the idea was to be able to work with short and long loads Mikkel. I think it would more likely be a chain and a tensioner for anything heavy, a detail for a rainy day.
