A CR pre-diagram furniture van wagon part 2


The furniture van wagon is now painted and in service. Slight weathering to bring out some of the detail. I do think that the masterclub bolt heads are better defined than a transfer rivet though from much more than a few inches away it is hard to see.

 

I added a pair of crossbeams pegged into the holes in the sides to which the van is lashed. The relatively new looking sheet may have had a few more ropes in practice, though that was fiddly enough.

 

 

A few posed pictures;

I’m still not absolutely sure about the sheet. It looks right to my eye although I accept that photographic evidence of these wagons in use on the CR is not available. Perhaps in time one will turn up.

Very nice, Dave, and it looks great as part of the train. Having discussed the question of the sheet previously, perhaps your justification for having it is the pantechnicon is new, being delivered, so a bit more care is being taken to keep it looking pristine for the customer.

Great result. Having just driven a van full of polished wood furniture across Denmark in pouring rain, I can imagine how water might seep into an uncovered exposed timber-built pantechnicon on a moving train.
