This shows the new floor as the one that comes with the kit isn't right (I hope that mine is) also I've tried etched W irons on this one .The photos should show what I've done I just need to tidy it up a bit .It does make for a better running wagon.

Someone did say to me why do you bother with all of the detail when you could just fill it with coal ?
Although it could be a bit tedious at times especially as there are ten to do I do quite enjoy it and think it's worth the effort

Hi I know that a few of you are interested in these wagons
If you look on Rmweb under Prototype discussions (not questions) there is a thread on them P7 20ton hoppers which has some good photos of the interior of them

This is one drawing - the LNER version:
Hartley Hill The Other Side Of The Fence (post 78)
The drawing John illustrates above is an earlier NER drawing - note timber end stanchions, the LNER version has T section rolled steel stanchions.
It will be interesting to see what other detail changes appear on the LNER built examples by comparing the drawings.
