Well I never saw the posts that silly billy removed but I heard about them from Bungle. Perhaps a Jenning adverstising wagon?

That's a good idea Cecil, I could paint it up like our local brewery

Purple Moose hits 16mm scale rails

Could you make it fit as well as the digital purple moose livery on 103?

They've probably got paint left over at BLodge from when they did the sign

Well mine did arrive today and it is a remade brandright kit instead of the small S****y little thing I thought would make an advertising wagon. I may just do it in the PTLR's normal wagon livery.

I'm going to paint mine in the colours of my next railway, 'The Hawkshead Light Railway'. For those who don't know, Hawkshead is a lovley little town tucked away in a Lake Distic, and one of my favorate places. I've always woundered why the victorians never thought to link it with the outside world, so my line is going to be based on what I think such a railway would have been like.

And what livery is the wagon going to be in?

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 9:19 pm

Well, I'm thinking of going for brown with HLR written in white on the sides.

got my wagon today.

The kit looks very good, laser cut with markings for the bits, nice axle boxes, good buffers and even little screws to screw the axle boxes in.

Beats the ip kits by a mile.

Got mine too, but Andy if you were buying it then i'd probably cost much more than an I.P kit. I like the curved in the solebars, I fancy putting some benches in it, just so it's different, as there's so many of them.

Yes, i suppose. But is it worth spending a small amount more money for better quality.

How long was it from sending the letter off to reciving the kit?

I sent my letter off about 2 days ago.

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 6:20 pm

About a week. If you only sent it a couple of days ago then you'll probably get it by Friday.

finished my wagon, well, nearly.

Now, to gloss varnish, or not to gloss varnish?

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 6:35 pm

I think keep it as it is or use matt varnish you've done a good job there.
