One of Provincial Wagons gets an overhaul. Here I am fitting the cattle wagon with brass compensating w-irons fitted with brass wheel bearings. This will be followed by the fitting of nice white metal springs and axleboxes. I will post again tomorrow.

that looks good so far.

why did you change the w irons from the originals ones?

Simple, I dropped the underframe and one w-iron broke off at its weakest point, it was impossible to glue back together,
