Ouch, almost 2 months since I last posted. I've not been exactly sleeping at the wheel.

A few more wagons into the fray.

I didn't think I had many Lowfit wagons and decided to have a shot at the Parkside kit.

Initially I was a little miffed by instructions saying they were all wooden solebars, but

that was me forgetting that while BR made steel chassis versions LNER had kept to timber

on their version.

These are very light and quite simple, I was past the making before I dug my camera out.

Belatedly I took a couple of shots where I was fitting lead sheet into the small voids on the

floor mouldings underside.

Before decalling they were put behind a locomotive and reversed several times around a layout with some 1st radius curves. They were pushing 19 other wagons, these were No.20, & 21 some load ! yet not a single derailment.

Now Decalled, both from a ModelMaster sheet included with the latest Peco 'Parkside' release. My other kit was an earlier one without decals. Note the use of Peco 'Parkside' PA34 mounting blocks into which I always use Bachmenn narrow tension-lock couplings.

Construction is now moving onto Parkside GWR Mink 'A' wagons. I liked the look of one made for the club back in November and now have two others well on the way, with another two currently not started. So many options louvre end vents, bonnet vents, fitted, unfitted, GWR, or BR liveries. I have a mixture in mind

That's enough at present, more later some time.
