Ok, whilst I still need to finish the cattle wagon and get some tie bars sorted for my turnout I thought I'd make a start on a wagon from Cambrian. To my knowledge they have a good reputation and the price (discluding wheels and couplings) made me drool. Seriously, you don't find this kind of value these days. Less than £5, 4 sometimes for a wagon can't be bad.

Anyway, I have to build it against the instructions due to me 'P4ing' it.

This is the kit, I've decided I'm going to collect these yellow cards for prototype reference, very clear.

This is what you get inside, the big components I've already removed and cleaned up.

The instructions suggest you add 3-links to the buffer beam before assembling, so I got my collection out. I've had these for a good while but rarely used them. I can see that changing now! I try to keep organised as you can see.

That said, my desk is a bit of a mess at the moment.

W irons recieved the same treatment as on the cattle wagon. Scalpel and file abuse.

And errrm. That's it for now. Expect posts soonish.
