Clearly a bit of free time over the Easter weekend means that April has come early: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects
Lots of good things for the wagon enthusiast this month - I was especially taken with the riveted 'Mackerel' hoppers, which seem to have appeared on Meldon ballast trains in penny numbers from the later '50s, and the way of producing plywood ends for the Mainline/Airfix/Bachmann Y8 to make a BR 1/231. This genuinely hadn't occurred to me - would a GWR plywood van be possible this way? I have half a notion that it might...
All that and, as they say, much, much, more (I love the shot of the pair of 501s on Hornsey Broadway, btw even though the scene is unfinished: utterly mundane).
