Very productive weekend- finished 4 00 Gauge wagons.

I managed to get a couple of Cambrian wagons with pre-printed sides.

The first is The North Devon Clay Co. Ltd., five plank. A 9ft wheelbase wagon that was easy to assemble.

As the wagon is ready coloured it was just a matter of a quick waft of matt varnish and the wagon is complete- except for couplings!

The 2 plank Sx SECR Ballast Wagons have also been completed and have turned out very well.

The two plank sides made assembly a bit fiddly when trying to get square corners glued together but the end result is worth it.

Transfers from Modelmaster were applied- yes I know the number series starts with a six but I am not going to pay for another set of transfer.

They make a good pair and willform a short Engineers train.



 Lastly is another S&D coalfield wagon. Again a pre-printed Cambrian offering and this one went together easily. 

The completed wagon only needed a waft of matt varnish and it is complete- minus couplings and some lead weight- up to the loft again!
