kirley Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I bought a number of Cattle Wagons from Leslie almost a year ago and have only got round to completing them. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k531/kirley15/KirleyJunction-CattleWagons002_zpsd1d15f36.jpg[/img] I adapted one of the wagons so the door would open and close using styrene rod to make a new hinge http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k531/kirley15/KirleyJunction-CattleWagons011_zpsade66e7a.jpg[/img] I built a couple of Ratio Cattle dock kits adapting them to fit my new layout http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k531/kirley15/Kirley%20Junction/Kirley%20Junction%20-Scenic%20Corners/KirleyJunction-CattleWagons013_zpsd3029f8b.jpg[/img] http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k531/kirley15/Kirley%20Junction/Kirley%20Junction%20-Scenic%20Corners/KirleyJunction-CattleWagons016_zpseb02a38d.jpg It was a case of making it fit the available space and it worked out reasonably well.

Hunslet 102 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Can anyone advise please on how to load pictures, I did it my usual way which worked before? Kirley,I suspect your photo's are now too big to upload as the size allowed has been changed.I did not post anything for ages until I found a thread in forum rules under the heading 'image editor' which give you instructions as to how to make your photo's smaller for posting.HTH Still liking the cattle wagons.

Mike 84C Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hey Kirley, don't knock your skills.The cattle dock looks excellent and I like the way you have spaced the loading gates to load several wagons simultaneously. The weathering is pretty good too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
