Well I've finally got some skip wagons. A long story but basically my friend bought a big box of skip based wagons for £10. In there was about 8-10 skip wagons, 3 slate wagons, 4 skip chassis, 4 flat wagons and a 5 car Tetley tea train. Then he knew I wanted some skips (well the whole box really but that was out of the question ) so he gave me 2 skip wagons, weathered and slightly deformed (binne skips i think) for a bicycle (that we were giving him anyway, but he agreed to the deal). And thats it really.

I also got a corris coach locolines body kit form Pete, so thanks pete.

Great, take your time with the carriage, sharp knife and a steel rule. Plenty of tea and patients. I can not tell you enough how important it is to varnish it as well...
I had mine outside for the first time with out its roof before varnishing it. Went up stairs to get a loco and came back down and it was tipping it down. Ruined! Don't make that same mistake!
