Just to prove she'll do it! Plodwynn pausing on the uphill with 5 skip wagons and a loaded slate wagon.

(and I know the stone cat isn't quite 16mm scale!)

I know, mine will haul 4 bigish passenger coaches (on flat anyway!

) But its very unprototypical! Hehe, oh well, I still like it.

The more I see of it the more I like the weathering, looks like a nice weathered railway you have there

If you made the skips like the engine and truck that would be brilliant train, one thing im shocking at is weathering

Very atmospheric.

That railcar looks right at home with that rack of wagons.

Wow - cheers for the replies guys! Was just proving a point about IP railcars - not fishing for compliments!

The skips are next in the paint-shop - after finishing off a gas-fired Merlin loco. They were bought as a job lot at the steam toys in action do at Leicester - although they were rather hideously red! Quickly resprayed them in red oxide (because the red was hurting my eyes) but I'm going to have a go at weathering them to something like useable.

I'll post some pics when they're done.

Cheers,

Shifty
