The Illmenite wagons are progressing, now at the stage of weathering them. I had brush painted the chassis after spraying them all grey and I'm using dry brushing and washes with a small brush to do the weathering. Some have already been fitted with magnetic couplings and test run. only the lead wagon has a conventional coupling for the loco.

They look to capture the spirit of the prototype ; well done!

After painting and weathering with dry brushing and washes I added some decals. These are obviously bespoke and were designed and printed from my spec by 4D models. They are dry rub transfers not water slide and were not cheap but look so much better. I will give them all a coat of matt coat to make sure it all stays put.

A rake of red tops heading up the line to Pyewipe. I don't know if anyone else has modeled these I've not seen any?

It’s on my to do list of wagons but I originally was going to use a short Airfix chassis but it’s now a Heljan or Oxford one assuming the latter ever appears.

Do you have any dimensions for both styles  of wagon  would love to build some myself

The loading diagrams are available on the Barrowmore website with the main dimensions on them, both of the designs were built by WH Davis on recovered tank chassis, the PS016A are on shortened TSV chassis (Airfix tank type).
