moore43grm Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) What started out as an Airfix /GMR Shell tanker wagon, a few bits from the scrap box, individually applied letters from a sheet of Model Master transfers and weathered to hide all the mistakes ! Idea taken from the photo on the cover of Bill Hudson's Private Owner Wagons , The Oakwood Press. The cruel close up shows a few blemishes, not least the still plastic finish to the underframe, the tank not quite sitting flush, and more importantly the not so straight lettering !

moore43grm Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Another tank wagon conversion. This time from a Bachmann 14 ton tanker and idea from "Petroleum Rail Tank Wagons of Britain" by R.Tourret I'm happy with the main body this time round ( lettering and weathering ), but still need to work more on the underframe.
