42ft Container Flat Wagon.

[popeye]

Here are some pic's of a 42ft Container Flat Wagon that i built from scratch. It's not exactly correct but it is near enought for me.

The bogies are from Cambrian Models. It's the best running wagon i have. Now i can put my new Bell Containers on it.

First class really neat. Did you use plastic sections or metal?

[BabyGM]

Fabulous work

It must have been hard to get all of that detail

thats just like a scene from the north wall freight yard..great stuff! where did you get the buffers ?

[snapper]

Superb work, it really does look the part.

[Weshty]

Lovely job, really looks the part and the cambrians look great.

 

Nearly as good though is that limestone cut wall in the background. Where did you get that? Amazing looking.

[Guest hidden-agenda]

That,s a first class job.

[scahalane]

excellent modelling, well done.

[josefstadt]

Lovely job. Well done.

[Kirley]

Excellent work in both the modelling and painting of the Flats.

[Castletown]

All of the above, photography's great too btw.

Thanks for all the comments. The Buffers are Round sprung buffers from Bachmann, Cambrian Ride Control Bogies £2.85 per pair with 10.5mm wheels. The Wagon is all made with plastic and the stone wall is from Scalescenes printed paper.

Here is another pic with my new Bell Containers.

It looks brilliant!

Very very nice-an excellent representation of the first built 30001 series bogie wagons complete with the ride master type bogies and round buffers-a rake of those would look great behind any class of Irish loco-well done.

Just WOW!

[Railer]

Amazing looking. Fantastic neat work. I'd love about 8-10 of them, haven't got much space to work with.

Popeye, superb photo there, very good wagon and track weathering. And thanks for the detail on where the wall came from. It really looks the business. Is that Random Ashlar Texture Sheet TX46?

I've only just seen this thread now. Excellent work and the wagons look great with the Bell containers in situ.

Hi Weshty, Yes it is Random Ashlar TX46. They look so real. My printer is not printing very well but if you print a lot at once then they will all be the same

colour and shade. And you pay once and print as many as you like. I wonder do they do £20 notes:-bd

[islandbridgejct]

Very nice. Completely convincing.

 

9 more to go?
