Farish N Gauge WD Parrot Wagon / Bogie Bolsters for Tanks?

[justin1985]

I've just noticed that the Farish War Department Parrot tank carrier flat wagons have been released. It doesn't look like they've been mentioned on here since the original announcement here: 

 

As the original announcement explained, these were built for the War Department during WW1 to carry tanks, then sold to the LNWR, MR, and CR, becoming part of the LMS fleet. 

 

There are some interesting photos of the Parrot in use in WW1 over on the thread for the Bachmann OO wagon: 

 

This made me think though - the Farish "landship train" pack of a few years ago came with several resin sheeted Mk1 tanks which sat on green WD livery Bogie Bolster (30t Bogie Bolster C?) wagons. I had imagined that the WD Bogie Bolster was a complete fiction, but according to this site some GWR Macaws (at least some family lineage to what became the Bogie Bolster C, I think?) were reinforced and adapted to carry tanks:

Seems like Farish missed a trick not including the resin tank again with the WD livery Parrots! 

 

Has anyone got one in the flesh yet, or any ideas for other loads for them?

Frankly, the resin tanks looked like dog poo.

That was being polite to dog excrement!

Maybe your dogs are broken, or very creative, because my dog cannot manage anything like this. Looks more like poo, not a tank with a sheet on it
