00 Gauge Paint your wagons!

 The Southern Van in primer- pin point berings have been mashed so dont become clogged with paint. 

Excess Mek stain should disappear when matt varnish has been applied. First the chassis has to be painted then transfers applied. On order from Railtec-https://www.railtec-models.com/index.php

This one is a Dapol Western Mogo van which came as part of a recent lot.

 Just parted the body from its chassis- fitted with Sprat and Winkle couplings.

Just the roof to paint, transfers added , varnished and then can be re-united with its chassis.


Again a primed western Van which will have its chassis and buffers painted and transfers applied- again from Railtec,before a coat of Testors matt Varnish is applied.

Then wheels can be refitted and the roof , which has also been primed-this time grey , can be stuck in place.

Nearly forgot! Both the Ratio vans have had a piece of lead glued to the van floor for stabilising weight.


 Whilst the rattle cans were out this Dapol 5 plank, bought with GW branding, was dismantled from it's chassis and primed in grey.

Once completely dry all that is needed is to apply transfers and matt varnish before being re-united with its Spratt and Winkle fitted chassis.

Once these are completed there are a couple more to make but first magnets need to be fixed in place on St Mewan.Wagons will be in rakes of 3 or 4 with coupling convertor wagons at either end.
