I just continue to be astounded.

Here is my rivet maker, this is no2 as I contacted the maker, they sent me another one, they do not work that well.
Some rivets as well.

[Wizzel]

I refuse to count them!!!!

I am tempted to keep it just for photographs.

Rolling stock is now required.
This is a D class bogie wagon.
Plastic card and strip construction as always.

[zak]

Bogies, I bought some OO wheels.

[zak]

Bogie painted.
I then made my own transfers, in yellow as some source say this was the colour use, I did not like it and so I am now making some in white.
I will have to remove the yellow ones.

[Haddock]

Real nice looking wagon that.

Yellow transfers removed and replaced with white, it looks better to me. Load, figure and tarpaulin added. Tarpaulin is tissue paper coated with PVA glue and formed around a load of barrels and ammunition boxes.
Figure is from the Tommy's War range.
