Sneaking in the Narrow Gauge

Traditional I don't do alot of modelling over the summer, and this year wasn't much different. Various holidays and away days seems to kill my enthusiasm for modelling, but there has been the odd but here and there. A final finished job is a Parkside Lowfit wagon, built in EM gauge.

Built pretty much as the kit was intended by Parkside, bar the load, my only additions have been brake pipes and 3 link couplings. It great that these kits now come with suitable transfers.

Since the EM gauge layout at Keighley Model Railway Club doesn't have any narrow gauge on it, I thought a load for this Lowfit would be suitable to sneak some in! A Dundas Models 009 Hudson Skip wagon provides the load, freshly built and painted by Hudson of Leeds and on its way to the customer. Some small section wood provides something for it to sit on, and black thread a representation of rope. 

Realistic? How knows, but I'd like to think it adds a nice variety to the more traditional wagon loads often seen on layouts.

Till next time.
