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.

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
