If it looked like the photo I'd be happier!<br /><br />Funny you should mention that photo of yours though, I used it when deciding on the bolt detail on the side bars :)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-50473309832830330512014-06-16T17:14:52.870+01:002014-06-16T17:14:52.870+01:00This is great, and I will need a few when I re-vit...This is great, and I will need a few when I re-vitalise my tramway diorama. It really looks the part. They were often to be seen grossly overloaded, sometimes with spacer bars between the waggons, so choose a big bit of slate to weigh them down with!! Your paint finish is rather good...a photo of one underground here http://robinsonmaps.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/conglog-of-bandits-and-cathedrals.htmlIain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-57511668487552094512014-06-15T11:44:54.795+01:002014-06-15T11:44:54.795+01:00Thanks Paul, glad you like the look of the wagon.
...Thanks Paul, glad you like the look of the wagon.<br /><br />I like the idea of rummaging through a box of random castings for something appropriate. That did remind me that I have some old fantasy gaming castings kicking around as well that might just do. So far I've found a large wooden barrel that is about the right size - maybe I should model a mobile pub!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-44557025742555001582014-06-15T10:23:42.169+01:002014-06-15T10:23:42.169+01:00Thats a nice little wagon, I might have to order o...Thats a nice little wagon, I might have to order one sometime.<br />As for loads, if you see Langley Models at an exhibition they have a tray of odd castings to rummage through, engines, digger buckets etc.Paul B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05278773151546187084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-40924117219877233552014-06-15T09:37:34.184+01:002014-06-15T09:37:34.184+01:00That or maybe a large crate of some formThat or maybe a large crate of some formMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-36450954096028809662014-06-15T09:35:07.241+01:002014-06-15T09:35:07.241+01:00There is a house not far away that uses it in thei...There is a house not far away that uses it in their garden and it spills out onto the footpath, so I can see me stopping to tie my shoelace sometime soon!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-43569476139556505332014-06-15T07:54:28.083+01:002014-06-15T07:54:28.083+01:00I'm sure you'll soon manage to acquire a p...I'm sure you'll soon manage to acquire a piece of Welsh slate.
