Very brave taking on Cambrian wagons, but you seem to be getting good results from them. The Stenson parts are good, aren't they?

By the way, before you put the transfers on it, isn't the BDA actually a BEA - as a result of the pressed steel (as opposed to solid wood) stanchions? That was always my understanding (and seems to be confirmed by this: LTSV Wagons - Profiles). But perhaps there was just some general sloppiness in re-lettering they came back out of departmental use (as yours has), and they were all coded BDA regardless?

Another OTA ready for the paint shop.

I have used the Stenson suspension units on this one, a little tricky to assemble but they do look good.

Stenson spring castings and Lanarkshire Models buffers.

I need to check some pictures but I think I will remove the centre stanchions as per the wagons in their later life.

The OTAs need something to load them, the trailer is. 3d printed with a Herpa crane (from ebay). The cab is from Oxford diecast and the chassis from Road Transport Images.

Finally got back to the SPA'S

Another truck for the layout:

This time a Volvo FH12, the deck is built from real hard wood and I gave it a coat of Satin Varnish to dull the shine a bit.

I got a little distracted and went back to the only 0 gauge wagon I have at present.

ABS Models Brake Van





I aiming to build this up in EWS livery as one used at Shotton Papermill as a shunters platform.

I have replaced the verander ends to represent the steel ends rather than the planked ends.

It will need air piping also.
