00 gauge coal staithes and delivery lorry for Watershoot Bay.

The coal yard has it's staithes and a lorry to deliver the loaded sacks.

The staithes are from Anyscale Models-https://www.anyscalemodels.com/

I have used their products previously and the casting is excellent with little flash to clean up.

The delivery lorry is a Base Toys Albion CX3 which was produced from around 1935. A driver has been fitted together with sacks of coal, empty sacks and  coal scales.I must say that pre-WW2 trucks are virtually non-existant



 

Once painted the moulded coal had a sprinkling of real coal. A set of Springside coal merchant workers, which comes complete with weighing scales has also been added.

Not possible to add to the layout atthe moment as Woody Lane is being prepared for the S&DJR Trust exhibition at Edington this weekend 22/23rd July 2022.
