Scrapbox wagon


 First new year project done. BR fitted van, details as per last post. I went half silly on the brake rigging and added the little square plates on the ends which were in the photo, but not on the Airfix moulding. I'm embarrassed to say I have no idea what they are for. Dockets?

On to project two which may, if I go for my first choice, be slightly slower and need a little more research than a photo in a Geoff Gamble wagon book which is what this one got.

  1. Yes, they are chalk boards or whatever, mostly see them on corrugated ends post-nationalisation although not all wagons were fitted with them. I guess left off as it's easier to add than remove.
