Will do my best, but sadly only have the Internet on my phone at the moment

I am off to Chester on secondment for 6 months from Sunday so hopefully will end up finding a room to rent that is ok to model in else will only be able to work on stuff when I am home in Bristol at the weekends

With the salt hoppers I broke the ends on two PGAs when removing body and chassis so these were used as donors

I cut the damaged end off the first wagon then cut the chassis in half and glued one half to the good end. I then used a broken 2nd chassis to cut a centre section to the missing length and glued that on so it overlaps the body

Finally cut the new end to size and glued to the other chassis half before gluing the lot together (after which it's the usual detailing etc

For the other one I will take a good PGA and add a new centre section, the chassis will be from 4 parts to make it up from my available components

As for the 59s

The first two are both awaiting chassis painting, but lack of suitable paint facilities in Bristol have that on hold
