Can you fix it ?

I have seen plenty of Kitmaster/Airfix/Dapol O4 shunters displayed in "Out of Use" scenarios, but not sure I've ever seen one in a scene as good as this.  The realistic painting of the wheels is noteworthy; the wheel centres have a coating of oily grime but the tyres, being bare metal have gone rusty - observation missed by quite a few "professional" weathering services who just splash dirt over everything.

(Pedant alert) That's a Coil, not a Pig Iron.  IIRC Pig Irons were 9' wheelbase and never fitted.

It looks like a Coil C to me. They were built as pig iron wagons. There is at least one in this group of photos that is painted brown/bauxite and appears to be piped, if not fitted.

Very nice. Where did you get the pig iron wagon from?

Hi Ruston The coil body was an old Trix which was surprisingly accurate so l added various chassis parts from the Appleby range to model various fitted and unfitted examples l could find in pics l have collected.
