Well defined possibly too well defined and a bit too perfect for my liking would look better with a dent or two and a rivet missing here or there dont you think A good opportunity for the real rust treatment

looking great! Are they based on a particular prototype, or freelance?

Also, how much will the well wagon be?

Rob,

I love the tail lamp hidden inside the diesels cab, where is this from?

swiftsixteen · Post by **swiftsixteen** » Sat Jan 14, 2012 10:24 pm

Hi,

Sorry, the lamp is hand made, along with everything else on the loco (except driver). I made the loco from 95% brass sheet last year for the 16mm Moty.

You can place an order for the wagons via the Email on my website. I will then send you a Paypal money request. When my new site is up and running, this wagon and other new stuff will be on it with the standard pay button attached :D

Unfortunatly I have run out of wheel sets, so there will be a short delay in processing any orders I may take.

Thanks.
Rob.

Well thats an obvious answer and a swift one at that.. trade secrets I guess. I was interested how you get such a clean precise cast

I've just received a Wriggley Tin Van and Well Wagon from Rom at Swift Sixteen and just have to report firt of all on the speed of service and excellent packaging of the products.
The kits are packed in stout polythene bags (all of the van "loose parts fitting neatly inside the van body/ chassis) which are in turn stowed in a stout, foam chip filled box for protection.

The castings are exceptionally clean and the detail is superb - I know it's gonna sound like a cliche, but they actually are better than in the photo's!
There's a satisfying "heft" to the wagon kits as well.

Now, I'm feeling a tad frustrated, because these are two of the resin rolling stock kits that I'll using to demo at Peterborough and I'm itching to get started on 'em.............. Oh well, they say patience is a virtue

............... and YOU'D better buy a rake of at least 6!!

................. and before the arguments start, does a grounded van body count as a "building", or "piece of rolling stock"?

Sir Clothem Cap · Post by **Sir Clothem Cap** » Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:46 pm

hmm there may be a clue in the term ROLLING stock but I don't know.

I'd consider it "ex-rolling stock"!
