A couple of 0 gauge wagons.


This wagon was rescued from a model shop for a small sum. The underframe and chassis were poorly painted and on buffer seized.

A session with the paintbrush saw the chassis finished in dirty black.The wagon interior was also given the same treatment.

The seized buffer now moves but still wants a bit more work to make it fully working.

Below is a Parkside  GW Fruit van which I acquired half built. With the chassis now completed a couple of coats of primer have been applied- Grey from Poundland- and I think the finish is a good representation of GW wagon/chassis grey. Next, once all dry, is to affix transfers and couplings. For 0 gauge I am going to fit Spratt and Winkles which I got from Wizard Models as a starter pack.
