00 gauge Hood & Son Wagon from POWsides rub down transfers.

The limited edition wagons are getting increasingly expensive, so a set of rub down transfers were ordered from Powsides.
I obtained a 7 plank without opening end door cheaper than buying an unpainted version.

A quick rub down with a glass fibre brush removed most of the printing.

It was then undercoated with grey primer and , once dry, had the top coat of green applied.

Again , once dry the ironwork was masked up and  touched in with matt black.

Again, once dry the transfers were attached in place on the wagon side- I must admit this is easier on unmade wagon kits- and then rubbed down with a soft pencil.

They really are simplicity itself to do- even I can do it!

The result is a crisply lettered wagon which hasn't broken the bank.

I have several unmade kits in stock plus a few RTR wagons which can be utilised.

The completed side above and below is the completed wagon after a coat of matt varnish.
