BR [SR] 40T hoppers (and a couple of Dogfish)

[Mallard60022]

Good afternoon all. I'm following in the footsteps of many and using Cambrian's neat looking kits for a Meldon ballast set circa 1960/61/2.

I believe the wagons were black + dirt in 1960 and green + dirt a bit later. I've also read of 'Meldon Brown' as a weathered colour/covering.

Any advice would be useful and I have seen Mr Muzz's lovely conversions and builds but his era is SR I believe?

Have not checked out decals yet; Cambridge Custom if they do them, Modelmaster/Fox. Advice here welcome too.

Thanks.
