What type of masking tape are you using? Some thick masking tapes don't work very well.

Lovely model

Well maybe someone could scratch build wagons to sell RTR, which will not need tooling or machines etc....?

Perhaps another thread should be started? With people giving ideas as to which wagons will be most popular and highly wanted in RTR?

Thank you Weshty

Thank you Dave, glenderg and warbonnet for your kind words. Yes that's correct, it is one of Leslie's (provincial wagons) kit, very nice castings and detail.

Hello everyone, Sorry for the lack of update over the weekend, I haven't been feeling too well lately but I am feeling a lot better now. My newest project has been this NE coal wagon as seen below, I detailed and weathered it for my dad's birthday (he's a huge LNER fan) but for some reason the camera doesn't seen to pick up the weathering very well, but I can assure you she is weathered You may be able to see in the background another wagon kit, this is the Cambrian LNER 6 plank wagon which hopefully shall be finished soon. And Also on the workbench is the GNRI cattle wagon kit which is now completed and ready to be painted. Many thanks Nelson

Wow, I've never heard or seen anything like this before, the Germans really are good at their engineering.

A wide Variety of different wagons is better....

Mike also had on board cameras fitted to Merlin, so keep an eye out for a vid featuring onboard footage.

And that's why you do research

Here's mine of her at Belfast central, turn up your speakers for the wheelslip. Can someone embed please?

I'll look forward to seeing them all, it's the same with us, our 7 1/4" gauge Bridget is undergoing safety valve repairs, and our 3 1/2" gauge tich is also under repair, all of these take time and need precise care, take it nice and easy.

Amazing

Can't wait to see her complete in 3 1/2" gauge, you'll have to bring it down to Cultra and give it a spin once she's complete.

Absolutely beautiful, well done

That collection is superb

Us, we are waiting for the BR livery heavily weathered version.

Thank you skinner75

Thank you Kirley

Thank you jhb If anyone is going to the Bangor exhibition? then come and say hello, we will he exhibiting and there you will be able to see my wagons in person.

Great idea using the fibre optic wire

Thank you Glenderg

Hello everyone, Sorry for not updating sooner, but here it is, the completed hurst Nelson wagon and bachmann wagon. A fair amount of filing and cutting down had to be done, mainly because I glued the buffer beam/headstocks too far back resulting in the solebars and body being too long, but here it is completed, I was planing to have it empty but I didn't like the colour of the inside wood so I jus added a coal load and personally i think it looks more better with the coal load added. I followed the instructions and left out the brake gear on one side and painted per instructions, the strapping took ages to complete but I like the finished look of it, it stands out from the rest of the wagons. Weathering consited of some rust and oil stains to the Underframe and a light weathering coat applied to the body. Now the bachmann wagon, all I did to this was added some real coal and repainted the Underframe, looks much better than before in my eyes, Also what I am currently beginning work on is a GNRI resin cattle wagon kit, Many thanks Nelson
