I really must sit down and do some weathering!

Wheels on my Wagon.
With one Gn15 loco complete, it was time to look at some of the wagons that remain unfinshed in the box!
The first three I completed are bog standard Sidelines kits, a tool wagon and a pair of bolsters. These are made up of some castings with lovley detail and make up into very attractive pieces of stock. Like the locos they could do with been finished of with some weathering!
The fourth wagon I've completed so far is an eBay purchase. The more Gn15 bits I started to build the more I go into the scale. I found a pair of wagon kits for £22 Inc postage. Similar in style and size to the Sidelines wagons they consist of only two castings (!) and metal wheels running in brass bearings. The end results is quite nice, with me adding simple dumb buffers from plasticard, using a track pin for a coupling hook.
