A triumvirate of P.O. wagon kits

Well it's not every day you have the excuse to use the word triumvirate but today I'm feeling lucky!

 

These three are a bit late for my own layout, but never too late for the glass cabinet screwed to my living room wall. The Beadle wagon is a recent addition to the range, crisp masters by Simon Turner, lettering transfers by POW sides.

 

The Lime wagon and Booth Bros. wagons are revivals of excellent Woodham Wagon Works kits, masters by Burgundy many moons ago, but I made a new mould for the Lime Wagon and intend doing the same for the Booth Bros. at some point in the not too distant future. Lettering by my own fists of ham.

Thank you. I have no idea why they were buff and not the usual grey or red etc. I wonder if it was something to do with the make up of the paint to resist the corrosive effects of the Lime?

I had wondered if in fact they weren't painted at all for that reason, and we've misinterpreted the bare wood as a buff paint scheme.

I believe buff / sand colour was fairly common for lime wagons - black would show the lime-stains more.

Nice work. 

I hope that you have a wagon turntable handy, so that you can unload the one door coal wagon in the right place! I think lettering for Booth Bros (for this particular kit) was in the POWSides range. 

Best wishes

Thanks Eric, I didn’t know that, handy if I build another. Cheers.

Lovely wagons. Triumvirate, eh? Now I feel the urge to build a quadriga, just for the name. Might look a little out of place in a goods depot though :D
