I can't think of any more. Andel produced a D class but I don't think they do any more. Hudson skips were made by brandbright but again they have finished. Binnie tippers could be used instead.

I used the pechot crane and a couple of pechot bogies to construct this post war crane on my Crowfoot Light Railway.
These kits aren't simple to put together and deserve a bit of extra effort.  I built the crane to be poseable rather than fully working.  This allowed me to build it to withstand a little garden railway type abuse.  I also used brass Brandbright safety chains rather than the cast white metal ones in the kits.  Don't know if anyone makes a suitable safety chain now Brandbright isn't around. The safety chains are a little long on this model but when I can be bothered they do actually hook up and need to be a bit long to get round my curves.

Also in my post I meant to say 'provides' rather than 'prove.'

WDLR rolling stock

IP Engineering have recently started stocking waterslide transfers for WDLR stock.
Whether this reflects future intentions remains to be seen.

Personally I hope IP don't do W^D kits, we have lots of choice already! They should do some FR waggons and maybe the bowsiders...

Hello colleagues! I bought the IP transfers for WD wagons E class. But I did not find in the Internet the location of letters and numbers. Photos of these wagons a lot, but the inscriptions can not be read. Here's what happened.
