D&S ex GER MAC, auction site buy which was cleaned up and repainted:

[Atlantic 3279]

A nice neat result. One of those was the first etched kit I ever built.

latest build, from an Isinglass kit. As I have a few more to do I thought I would have a practice first with this Dia 120 4 wheel BY Pigeon Brake Van:

Is it the lighting or is the teak very dark?

How have you done that - it's quite reminiscent of the mahogany colour of GC carriages.

[Rustynuts]

No you are correct it is quite dark, mainly done with the weathering but of course Teak is a natural material and can be various shades.

Here is a Pic of the Dia120 with another coach I have been doing :



and 3 of the coaches for my Flying Scotsman rake:

The coaches look superb, but one can help but notice the bare metal A3.....thing of beauty, even unpainted.

More auction site rebuilds, this time two GCR wagons, a dropside and a 5 plank from unknown plastic kits:

[Atlantic 3279]

Fixed end sitting higher on the 5 plank? Nice to see pre group wagons.

[Rustynuts]

yes it is, someone had put compensation on that end and it is making it slightly high (approx 1mm) will remove that an make it fixed to level things out

[Rustynuts]

I have fixed the GCR 5 plank so it is level and a 51L NER B15 Diagram B15 12T 2-plank Open another auction rebuild:

[Atlantic 3279]

GC wagon definitely looks level now. Very nice.

Now numbered, looking a lot more like it:
