Next step towards getting the stock ready for the new layout means I have been working on a few wagons.

First up are a couple of open wagons built from Cooper Craft kits, one of which has a sheet fitted.

Covered vans are again from Cooper Craft kits, slightly weathered.

Private owners are Slaters kits, loaded will real Welsh Steam Coal (as used in my 7 1/4" gauge loco). The Wilmer Swindon wagon has been hand painted.

The cattle wagon is another Cooper Craft kit, modelled in the days when the inside of the wagaons were lime washed.

Lastly a couple of brown vehicles. The horse box is the new Hornby item, a little late for the period I am modelling but such a lovely model. The fruit van is built from a Falcon Brass etched kit. All the wagons have yet to have the Sprat and Winkle couplings fitted (3mm scale version)

Next up will be some brake vans, a loco coal wagon and something from the other companies of the big 4.

I hope you find this of interest and I'll keep you posted with updates.
