Me again Heather is going to put the photo of the NER hopper on this page tomorrow
Definitely ought to. Come on John, stop hiding that light behind the bush.John can explain more about this superb model.
You wait until John gets round to a photo or three of the coal train. I was looking over the fence into the private siding at Hartley Hill recently and there was a rake of Denaby wagons... all weathered nicely and with such variation that one could believe some wagons were just out of shops whilst other wagons were in need of a visit for some TLC .Fantastic John, love the weathering job on these... And I agree with Graham, lets see more pictures, lovely stuff
John said that POW Sides has Denaby in the range.dont POWsides do Denaby transfers ?
Hi Rob and Mick thank you for the nice comments I have to say that I feel slightly embarrassed .the hopper is a slaters kit no extras just detailing the inside they are modelled on the early wagons with the double W irons . After I had Finnished it I googled NER hopper wagons an found some really good photos of the inside of them lots of detail .I have made a couple of mistakes but on the next two which are nearly Finnished I hope that I've got it right there will be a total of ten or twelve of them .Iknow that they have absolutely no place on Hartley hill but they do look awesome .i took this wagon to Richard Carrs layout a while ago and it did have a lot of interest.as regards the Denaby wagons mine were built some time ago they were infact the first scale severn wagons that I built in fact the first wagons since I were lad I had no reference material but managed to get the insides almost right they are not in the same class as yours but they are a very attractive model and Graham seemed quite taken with them
But again thank you for your comments
