Would you believe that these are virtually the same scale?
The cattle wagon is an 009 Society kit and the gunpowder van is from Rodney Stenning.
Still needing painting, the cattle wagon is the second I have built and goes together superbly. Four holes need to be drilled out, guides already moulded, for the wire safety rails- shown in brass- supplied.
Conversely the gunpowder van is tiny and a bit of a problem, for me, to get the wheels to rotate smoothly even with a lot of lead weight.
The final picture shows the gunpowder van coupled to a Bachmann Baldwin which illustrates how small this wagon is.
Next to paint with some grey primer first.
