After going to a railway exhibition last Saturday (23rd May), and buying some books, I was inspired to build some new wagons.

I added working features, such as opening doors, as well as SNOT lettering. Most are real UK wagons but I also did the Awdry character “Scruffey”. The new plate modified 1x2 with bar on end is quite a useful piece for drop-sided wagons. Black droid arms are useful for supporting the tubes underneath. The tubes represent parts of the brake gear and supports, but working brakes might have been overkill :classic:

There are 4 wagons, the first picture of each here:

“Scruffey”:



Grampus 12ft wheelbase drop-side wagon:



LMS 5-plank open wagon with lime load and opening side doors:



SC coal wagon with opening side and end doors:

Hope you like them.
