More wibbly-wobblyness

Well, December got a bit hectic, I didn't get much modelling done.
However, progress is being made:
The lettering on this wagon was much more of a challenge than the Cannop wagon, but from a distance it looks ok, I think. Close up it is a bit of a mess, but I hope that weathering will make it less obvious.
The tiny curly lettering unfortunately spells "Empty to/ Uorgreens Colliery/ Forest of Dean" on one side, as the tinyness and the curlyness made it rather hard to tell a U from a W.
But still, I am reasonably happy.
I've had a bit of an issue with the lettering on the shunting truck.
My original plan was to have "S&W. Joint Shunting Truck" as per the photo so kindly posted by @Western Star a few blog posts back. However, as I only have the HMRS wagon transfer sheets at hand, this entails doing a bit of cutting and rearranging of letters. However, it turns out that although all the letters are there, they aren't in the same condensed typeface you can see in the photo and so don't fit on the side of the toolbox.
As it isn't the same design of shunting truck as the photo anyway (M4 rather than M3), I applied rule 1 and it is only going to have "S & W Joint" on the side (assuming I can craft the "&" out of something).
In other news, I might be ordering a 2021 class kit from NuCast Partners in the coming days.
Exciting stuff!
