You are almost certainly right, but I am still searching for a convincing photograph, preferably colour, of the prototype. Ultimately, it may be a case of unclipping the roofs and spraying them with a sooty colour and then applying some detail rusting etc.I like your weathered wagons. Not just the wagons, but the trackwork is worth a study as well. The only comment I would make is this. If a well used wagon body was in that state, I would think the roof would be well grimy in steam days. But then there is always the unexpected...
Probably why he's on a little 'un, then!!A couple of rounds on the shovel on a proper engine would kill the poor emaciated fireman....
LADYSMITH now has a crew. The figures were especially designed by ModelU for the Minerva Manning Wardle K class and this pair was painted by Claudia Everett.

Thought that myself, but didn't say anything anywhere as I don't know the full situation (does anybody??) and a lot depends on whether those of us who backed the Class 22 crowd funding will see our commitment to the project honoured if anyone else does take over.Wonders aloud if Minerva would take on the current LLC projects from Steve?
