Part 2: Wagon Miscellany. Including BR/WR/GWR ballast wagons x 3.
Bit of an update on the wagon building miscellany.Â
Â
The Three Peaks Models, Lancashire & Yorkshire Low Goods Wagons are coming on well. I must say how pleased I am with these kits.Â
Â
Following on from reading Jonathan's West End Workbench, I decided to drill out the axle boxes to receive Alan Gibson brass bearings.
Â
Â
Â
Â
One is finished in BR unfitted grey. The other is in late LMS livery. Sole bars are to be painted brown on the latter.Â
Â
Â
The LMS version will recieve BR numbers/patching etc.
Â
The Airfix/Mainline BR/WR/ex-GWR Bogie Bolster AÂ has been weathered.
Â
Â
Â
Again a selection of Valejo and Revell acrylics have been used. Weathering to be finished as above. Load to be added. Any ideas for suitable metal chains to secure the load?
Â
The Oxford Rail 7 plank RCH wagon in Napsbury Mental Hospital livery. I believe this institution was near to St. Albans on the Midland Mainline?
Â
Â
Totally fictitious I'd imagine but finished as an ex-private owner wagon in BR condition. Weathering effects to be finished. Valejo acrylics and Fox Transfers used in this instance.
Â
This Oxford Rail LNER 5 plank wagon received the same treatment.
Â
Â
The Airfix LMS 5 plank wagon, re-chassied with a Ratio 10ft RCH chassis is ready for weathering. Fox Transfers once more.
Â
Â
Â
I do think this shows how good the Airfix LMS 5 plank moulding is and benefits from a few tweaks.
Â
The BR/WR permanent way wagon selection is progressing nicely as well. Transfers are courtesy of Cambridge Custom Transfers and John Isherwood of this parish.
Â
Â
Â
Below is the the excellent Chivers P23 Tunny kit.
Â
Â
The Cambrian P18 kit is progressing nicely. The CO insignia stands for 'Chief Office'
Â
Â
Â
Finally the old Ian Kirk P19 kit awaits weathering.
Â
Â
Â
These wagons will receive a coat of Halfords Satin varnish to bed the transfers down before weathering.
Â
More soon....
Â
Cheers,
Â
Mark
