Inexpensive Wagon.

Post by Tony Bird » Thu Nov 26, 2015 6:49 pm

Hi,

Today I finished a railway wagon bought in a charity shop for £4.

Image

Very good value for a wagon, figure, base board and a couple of sections of rectangular brass.

Image

A couple of rivets were drilled out and the wagon was taken apart.

Image

This is how the wagon now looks with its wheels re-profiled a wooden chassis and some Binnie 'Bumper' couplings.

The figure is a bit over scale for 16mm both it and the wagon are closer to 7/8" scale. The figure will go to the Artistic Dept. (wife) for painting.

Regards. Tony.
