Ace. I love the faint traces of rust on the sleepers where the chairs would have been.

[Rob]

All look brilliant- #8 Sleepers look exceptionally good

[DB JOE]

wonderful work!!

[popeye]

Shapeways 42ft 3d printed 42ft flat wagons.

I got these about 2 years ago and finally got them finished.

They are very nicely printed and I used Bachmann bogies and Railtec transfers.

 

[John-r]

They look the part, very well weathered too.Great job

[Rob]

Love the yellow line,  and white paint at each end- very authentic

[irishthump]

I think they are Bachmann bogies

[popeye]

Yes they are Bachmann bogies.

There is a small round stub that fits into the middle of the bogie and then

use a small screw and washer to keep it in place.

[Robert Shrives]

Hi 

Thanks, sorry for confusion - got IRM bogies in my tiny mind! I too used Bachmann bogies on my prints as well.  Must say I fitted the nem pocket on to a plasticard extension glued to the bogie and thinned the bottom of buffer beam.  Your solution elegant  so will store it away for next time.

cheers

Nice work, lovely weathering too, fair dues.

[John-r]

Top notch work as usual, lovely bits and pieces for a layout, well done Popeye.

[Tullygrainey]

That weathering is spot-on. Subtle and totally believable. Lovely work.

[Rob]

Love the Triton containers

[DJ Dangerous]

Amazing stuff, @popeye!

Great to see some containers in there, specially Triton's.

How did you do the lettering on the cement bags?

I knew you would like the containers 

lettering on the bags was done with a very sharp pencil.

I need my eyes checked now.

I always enjoy looking through the work that you post from your bench @popeye. The bagged cement and containers, look the business.
