This scene at Pluckley Station shows the crane being used to load timber from the horse drawn timber wagon onto a truck of some description. When I built the crane, I always had the desire to build the horse drawn timber wagon and here it is before painting. I haven't made the shafts as yet. I also noticed, as I was taking the pictures, that I haven't made the pins that prevent the logs rolling off the wagon. A job for tomorrow.
Where I live, there is an estate that was given over to the National Trust in the early 1950s. The donor is buried in the local CofE church and his coffin was borne there on the estates timber wagon. It stood in the yard for many years and I wish that I'd taken photos and measurements as it would have been a good idea to have made one similar. What I do remember is that it was painted grey and so, that is what I shall paint my offering.
