Secret crush
Although somewhat irrelevant to my overall project south of Old Father Thames, I confess I've always rather fancied the look of these sturdy GER open wagons.
So it's been a pleasure to revive these two ex-Woodham Wagon Works kits of both 1870 and 1883 versions. I managed to complete the 1870 one which is my personal preference but then struggled to find a period photo of the 1883 edition which is why it is as yet unlettered or numbered. I also fouled up a bit with this one by setting the solebars too far apart and causing all sorts of difficulties fitting the springs, doh! I think this is one for the 'You get the general idea anyway' shelf!
It was only when I came to photograph them I realised (when they fell between the rails) that I'd fitted them with 00 wheels...what is wrong with me?! Note to self: do try to pay more attention in future!
The 1870 version.
The 1870 version...again!
The 1883 version (work in progress).
