End boards out of hardboard for transport and a bit of weight in the SSA scrap wagons.

These have the same problem as the US boxcars that I used on Einsford Mill, that being that they run too well - there's not enough dead weight. Result: loco draws up to couple and just cannons the wagons up to the buffers. So a little foam PVA'd under one axle of the rake brakes them just enough to stop this.
Without proper weight distribution, you might just wreck the whole thing if you leave it standing. Nice touch, though. It looks very realistic.
