A recent house move has almost halted my building progress, but fortunately, I took my tools and some brass with me on holiday this week (to Primrose Valley, Filey, North Yorkshire) and of an evening did a bit. Both kits are from the Mercian 'Knightswork' range, and are the FR Closed Van (Side Door) and FR Carriage Wagon.

Both kits go together pretty quickly, and are easy to fettle to get smooth running out of them (I'l be adding some weight to them now I'm home). They come with wheels and couplings, so are some of the most complete kits you can buy in 009, and at a reasonable price, a good way of increasing your wagon fleet.

Here are the photos of my progress thus far.

I've been searching everywhere for some references to the Carriage wagon, but unsuccessfully. including the Ffestiniog Encyclopedia which is usually such a fantastic cource of information. Can anyone else help please?

So for now, until I get the modelling area of the spare room sorted out, there might not be too many updates!

Cheers
