popeye Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Thank's for your kind words. Some of the parts used are as follows. Hooks are by MJT No 2953, Buffers by MJT No 2350 and brakepipes by MJT No 2950. The yellow hand wheels are a brass etch from DC Kits.

Georgeconna Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Best ballast hopper I have seen, Lovely weathering on that along with the stenciling. Did you go for Stencils or Decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Phil Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just moved this from an old thread. NIR Ballast Wagon.Built from Cambrian Models kit C67 SR 40T Hopper Wagon, SSM Transfers, Ballast is from Woodland Scenics Med Grey. The paint is Humbrol Insignia yellow 154. Not a bad kit to build but some tricky bits on the two ends.

Great modelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Holman Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Two little gems. Given the size of the photo compared to the model, that is very sharp work indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks, I got the transfers from studio Scale Models. Thanks for the tip on where to source the hand wheels but I can't find the transfers on SSM Web Site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Popeye, your work never ceases to amaze me. The subtlety of the weathering is divine. Hard to fathom its only 4mm scale... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Holman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Superb work Popeye - as set me thinking about how to do a 7mm version. interesting thing about wagon kits is that the expensive bits are the running gear, buffers etc, while the bodywork is about a fiver at the most. So, what brakevan did you start with? Am hoping could do the same with a Slaters or Parkside kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 That brake van - a much neglected but necessary prototype - is a really superb job. Excellent weathering too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for all your comments. David the Brakevan chassis is Parkside Dundas 10ft wheel base but i shuold have used 12ft to be correct length. The doors were taken from an old hornby brakevan, but you could make your own.

popeye Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I have been building a brass Park Royal Coach from Worsley Works over the past year. The Bogies used are from Bachmann 36-008A so are the Buffers.Torpedo ventilators are from MJT 2940. The roof was made from plastic with a frame of curved ribbs covered with very thin plasticard. The seating was also made with plastic. Edited February 18, 2014 by popeye 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
