0 Gauge wagons. An update.

 

A Slaters 12 Ton Palvan that has been long in the making and is still not complete.

The transfers need to be applied  and Sprat & Winkle couplings fitted.

A challenge to interpret and fit the brake mechanism which I am not really happy with but you can't see it when the van is in motion!

A Parkside by PECO Southern Railway Insulated Van to dia. 1477.

An excellent kit which wen t together excellently.

When searching there seemed to be no Southern Freight Stone available so I used weathered sand from Precision Paint.

Pleased with the result.

 

 

This van I purchased recently and no info was given as to maker.

Possibly a Parkside Dundas kit, it will be useful for the next 0  Gauge layout which will be located in S&D, Southern and Great Western area.

Finally a Skytrex 7 plank with coke raves. The purchase was made due to the wagon having metal wheels- all other Skytrex wagons I have are plastic wheels.

It is simple to remove the sides- they both unscrew,  which have been sprayed gloss black and will be branded with a West Country owner.
