Wagons again...

As ExpoNG gets a little closer progress on some 'new' rolling stock for the layout is being made...

This pair of ex-Penrhyn slate wagons are likely to aquire various bits of junk and will represent repurposed 'rubbish' wagons that I can tag on the back of another train - they're built from the excellent Meridian Models kit.

The 'works' train is a water barrel and tool trolley made from old skip wagon chassis (actually Minitrains) and are chained together permanently. The wagon with the barrel will get some strapping (to retain the barrel) and some sort of generator/hand pump.

Another rake of wagons for the mine will be built up from this rake of 5 Sand Hutton wagons - these are the product of Mark Greenwood and will be a Narrow Planet product in 2016.

Finally this close up of the Sand Hutton wagon shows the quality of the print - this one will be painted and finished for display on the Narrow Planet stand at ExpoNG so you can take a look on my layout, Creech Bottom, or the NP stand.

More soon...
