I managed to get the loco body sprayed up, but experience has taught me to give paint a good while to dry thoroughly before moving on. So in the meantime I thought I would have a shot at making a wagon to go with it. Nothing fancy, just a simple open wagon.

Hmm. It has taken a bit longer than I thought, mainly because I can’t keep things simple. Just me I suppose but I do tend to try and work down to as much detail as I can. Anyway a few pics of it unpainted. I used a lot of the masterclub rivets and bolts. Having the silhouette mark it all out makes the drilling a lot simpler and since it is just styrene relatively fast. The other parts are just scrap etch and various sizes of wire.

Paint on the loco should be well dried by now, time to get the details on.
