May I ask how you made the filler handles on the top of the wagon? I have zoomed in on your photos but cannot tell if these are a single piece of wire or made up from multiple pieces!

EXCELLENT upgrade - am following keenly!

proper modelling I call it. Excellent

Thank you @SteveyDee68 and @osbornsmodels. I very much enjoy this type of modelling. Absolutely no need for it in these days of RTR but I do it because it is so absorbing. 

The handles are .33mm brass rod (phoenix precision) bend into a rough shape and trimmed down. They are probably well out of scale but they are quite prominant on the real thing. The handles are glued to the corners of the hatches which have raised detail to represent the handles. They don't have uprights to spin around but these would have been just too fiddly.

Thank you Paul. I have seen the less clear one but missed the more detailed one. I'm thinking I may well have captured it close enough.
