Not another Open Wagon...

A few days back I posted about some bargain Bachmann Mineral Wagons (Here). The first of these has now passed through my workbench as a 'quick' project.
This slope sided 16t Open was factory weathered by Bachmann, mainly consisting of a sandy spray of paint over the rust patchs. The chassis was totally repainted into matt black before re-weathering. The rust patches already present were 'reworked' adding further shades and depth, before a black wash and a coat of matt varnish was applied.
The inside was also treated to a rusty rework. Intending to run this as an empty wagon, I may add the remains of a coal load at some point. Gibson EM wagons were fitted, along with Smiths 3 Link couplings, and the wagon is ready to add to the operational fleet.
Till next time.
