Almost there..


My own ballast wagons, for Bron Hebog, are nearing completion.

All that remains now is to fit the brass hand wheels which are being etched for me by Worsley Works, and also some brass steps will need bending for each corner.

Then they'll be sent down south for painting by the team who have been practising weathering techniques on standard gauge 4mm stock recently, so I'm expecting great things of them on these honest workhorses of the WHR.

  1. Brilliant modelling and a real inspiration to get the plasticard out. I'd be interested to know what bogies you will be using on these wagons?

  2. Thanks for the compliments. We use a Lynton and Barnstable van bogie to represent the ex-SAR bogies the WHR on most of their stock.

    The ones under the model in the picture are Nine Lines plastic products which I believe may be out of production now.

    There are two other versions on the market. I think one may be by Chivers, which we have started to use. I'll find out for sure and post again.
