The first wagon is a Midland Railway wagon from around WW1. Â The second âwell wagonâ version is an LNER variant from the inter-war period.

Built from the Niu Models 3D printed resin kit.
Minor Niggles:-
Some of the chassis parts were slightly âbanana-shapedâ. Â Hot and cold water immersion resolved that issue.
The decals need to be individually cut from the sheet as the carrier film covers the whole sheet.
The bogie axle boxes clash with the vertical legs of the brake levers, which may inhibit cornering. Â Some fettling required
I shortened the drawbar between the well wagon and the flat wagon that supports the outer end of the gun barrel by about 10mm. Â As provided it places the wagons too far apart compared to the prototype photo on the Niu Models thread.

Hi Robert,
The Lima DMU bogies, wheels and MTK motor bogie have already been assigned a new home through RMWeb.

Close cousin of the Class 306, the Class 506 is now  on the workbench.
The Lima DMU bogies and pizza cutter wheels that came in the box won't be being used - and neither will the truly awful MTK motor bogie.
Made a start on the DMBSO coach body today.
Aluminium body roof cut away and replaced with a scratch built plasticard roof.
The cars driver and guard compartment doors were a bit coarse so I replaced them with scratch built laminated plasticard doors. Â This also gave something other than aluminium for the white metal cab front to be bonded to.
Cheers

The Anglias are recognisable from their distinctive radiator grilles (my Dad had one in the late â60s). Â The others are Populars/Prefects and the larger 4-door Consuls.
I didnât realise that the Cork factory was the first one that Ford opened outside the US.

Darius, your output is amazing, as are your models. I'm assuming you've found the secret of how to include 32 hours in a day, nine days in one week, and 18 months in a year!
I couldnât possibly sayâŚ

Hi Michael,
The seats come from a bag of assorted model coach seats that I obtained from eBay a few years ago. Â The seats are about 24mm long so I cut them into smaller length seats as required or glue on new sections to make them longer.
Cheers

They are rather nice models
The buffer beams on the BR blue version do need to be painted blue, however.
Cheers
