Covered JXA Scrap wagon

[bazjones1711]

I have in the last few days decided to build a covered version of the ex Sheerness Steel JXA wagons , they had a three piece hood fitted that was fabricated from old LPG bogies tank wagon , i have used old Hornby 2 axle tanker barrels cut down on a bandsaw to the approx height and glued together for the hoods , they have had filler and grey primer coats to show up any areas that may need redoing . The rest of the wagon body is handbuilt from 60 thou plasticard and Plastruct section , the bogies are from S Kits . There were 15 of theses wagons converted for use from Shotton to Port Talbot to carry scrap , the hoods are a compromise as photos from above are rare . I think the hoods were all unique as they were all slightly different in appearance .
