Barrel wagon from £10 kit

Post by ge_rik » Mon Mar 23, 2015 10:36 am

Just put together one of the £10 kits which are regularly advertised on eBay.

Not bad at all considering the price. Still requires painting and weathering as you can see but it's the first item of rolling stock acquired for my 32mm mine feeder railway.

That looks alright.
I think the chap who makes them is on here sometimes.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

They do seem good value, says a man sat with a £ 7.50 flatty sat on the side to build. A bargain considering its got tie downs as well which I assumed were an addition for the sales photo.
The benches look good value as well.
