So I'm starting to get the impression that apart from a few diehard control enthusiasts most of you don't enjoy the endless wiring posts.... Well for me it's a busman's holiday so today having to work off some TOIL I decided to do something a bit different than work/wiring
So you will have seen the current Skeetsmere wagon fleet in some of the earlier posts but as we are serious about our wagons here allow me to do some introductions
The finished 4 are as follows:
Bachman midland brake van (wrong region too modern a livery) and 1923 RCH 7 plank local livery just took modern a wagon
And two generic dapol wagons.... But at least 1 of them has a regionally correct livery. All four look nice and certainly will continue in service on the mere until further notice.
This will be bolstered by the following if I can get some couplings fitted before October.
Two Oxford vans.... One still needs finishing
A Herb Garden GER diag 17 open and Peter K GER 1881 van. Probably the most appropriate pair for the layout.
And some low sided opens. Two Hornby with refinements and a NER B15 from an unknown source.
Well that was the status until today....
I've taken the chance to convert a couple more to EM. The rapido 1907 PO wagon, as simple a conversion as they come and the Chatham kits parry open I built years ago which I've even fitted couplings too this evening. Both need some aesthetic work.
These two need the most work. A D&S GER IMP wagon that I was given and have today converted from P4 to EM (sacrilege!). And a slaters MR brake van I built when I knew nothing better with a warped underframe. The plan is to get it to represent MSLR brake van No2 .... But first I need to get all four wheels touching the rails!
And I couldn't finish this post without posing the three musketeers with Thier wagon fleet....
Lots of photos precious little modelling normal service will be resumed shortly
